Here on Planet Whatthefuck, I managed to accidentally shift my keyboard layout. It took an hour and an excessive amount of cursing to get it set right again.
Once I got things right, I started putting back together the aleph bbs site, but then I wanted music to listen to and spent the next three hours putting together Spotify playlists because I have too many ideas in my head at any given time and they like to play bumper cars.
For the moment, music won.
I need to do some domain-pointing today, get a couple sites live and script some automation.
I have wireheadmechanist in place, although not exactly how I wanted it. I'll clean it up in a bit. I also put in a cron script to update this site every six hours. It was about three lines of bash script and wasn't that hard to put together. And then the pain made its visit and I had to stop for a while. I have a lot of chronic pain and fibromyalgia because I'm a combat veteran of the US Army Airborne, and I haven't been keeping all religious with my CBD regimen. Gotta get back on that.
Feeling a lot of bitter hate today jerking around with a Hugo theme that wasn't documented very well and plays whack-a-mole with every entry or modification you try to make to it. I know there has to be a simpler way to do this.
Oh, fucking hell. I paid for the tool that does this. Lemme try this shit in Typora.
Studied more MySQL.
Still no work laptop. We are on day 19.
Started official learning of MongoDB. Woke up pretty much feeling like crap, and we are on day 20 of functionally being unable to accomplish basic tasks. Like providing IT services.
I stayed feeling like trash most of the day, but after the late afternoon began picking up steam again. It also occurred to me that I can use Mongo with some of our platforms and I will set myself up an official Confluence to begin documenting my testing with it. I will probably overview it in another section here, and not anywhere else other than there, but that will be private, as it is bills job specific.
I'm beginning to look into Jupyter Labs and notebooks as a way to transport and work through the data and test cases I will be designing. It also makes it easier to provide my work and information between platforms and systems, including here in my gemini instance. My new bills job laptop made it from the homebase, across the country to me in less than 24 hours, and I will have it on my doorstep Monday morning, which means I want a good plan to shuffle this information and work around in a secure manner from machine to machine.
I could of course use git or scp, but I think the notebook idea carries the best potential for success.
