I'm on Easter Break. I was hanging on last term and getting grouchy, browsing for alternative jobs in my breaks and arguing with managers about workload, so I needed the rest. I've been looking into ways to cut five hours a week from work to have more family time - I'm back in the classroom Tuesday, so I'll see how well that goes. Karl Von Clausewitz said no battle plan survives first contact with the enemy, but you have to have a plan.
Does anyone really believe the message you hear when holding to talk 'to the next available advisor', that these two stated facts are both true? 1. Your call is important to them. 2. They are experiencing 'more than the usual number of calls'. Again.
I've been reading a lot about the Tinylog standard, from @drewdevault and @bacardi55. It seems like a nice idea, but I don't intend to use a separate tool to aggregate Tinylog posts. I thought about changing this log into that format, but decided to stay with a simple gemlog system, but looking more like Tinylog. Is that enough, or should I go the full Monty?
I'm travelling to a location with no mobile phone coverage, but I have to be contactable, so I installed Linphone so I can pick up calls to my SIP home phone number using WiFi. I spent a while fiddling with the config settings before I discovered that the VOIP connection doesn't like running over my Wireguard VPN. If anyone knows why this is an issue, please let me know.
I've finished watching The Expanse and now The Witcher. Looking for a third series of Mandalorian I found The Book of Boba Fett. It is less a space western than Mando, so I'm looking forward to episode two.
Setting up WireGuard on my work laptop, to tunnel through to my home network - easy config, or would have been without a mistyped IP address in one file. If I understood the protocol better I might have not faffed about with barely understood settings for ages.
Still no short thoughts. Back to work in two days after a festive break, brain all fuzzy from gin.
