I'm going to be heartbroken if I put this much effort into things and have to get a helpdesk job at the end of it.

Thank you! IT was my jam for like half a decade. It's like flexing old muscles.

- Applied to 20+ jobs
- Written Azure VM setup scripts with monitoring and backup in both azcli and Terraform
- Got a line on multiple projects that I can do for people

This is the perfect weather to be on a bike, max 15C and generally 10C. Just cool enough to be snug even going at 100.

Ok my best shot looks like getting some Azure certs and renewing my AWS certs. Aiming for SysAdmin or DevOps.

Gonna be rough but possible!

I learned that Tyromancy is a thing: fortune telling with cheese.

I guess save a goat, use some cheese.

Thanks Witcher.

I feel like it's two sets of shitters, the inners who are incompetent or actively malicious and trying to pretend the car is working and not being driven by clowns and the outers who just like to scream and hate the car.

They both ruin the idea, but in vastly different ways.

Every time I read about equity, diversity and inclusion in academia it makes me laugh.

It's purely performative bullshit, written for the sole purpose of making some invariably rich asshole feel like they're doing something with no real action behind it.

I'm sitting on like 100gb of research grade astronomy photos. I should do something with them.

"I have a preference!"

"You're ungrateful"

I finished my dumb little coding project.

At least as far as I want to take it right now.

Installing Linux on my computer calls to me like a siren's song again.

Next step: CCNA and an AWS cert.

Hopefully won't take me more than 2 months.

Then back into the soul grinder

My shitty little script now has a shitty little UI.

Now to give it some polish. Make it actually usable to people.

Dashboard showing followers, active followers, disabled accounts, never posted accounts, new followers and people who have unfollowed from an account

It's fun to pick up all the old tricks that I had forgotten by not programming for 3 years.

Can't believe I'm back at the point where I can program again. Healing takes so long, but it does happen

Playing open world games like The Witcher has me faffing about endlessly.

I so often stumble into monsters that I can't even take on.

I faff to close to the Sun.

I love it.
