I've updated the Juniper router/switch configs (EVPN campus) that Dartmouth has published as example jinja templates:

github.com/Internet2/nt...

There is significantly less duplication between the classes of devices and the templates have been broken into more tightly related functional sections.

I'm really enjoying the new PUP album that came out today. I was listening to it quietly and it sounded just OK, but turning the volume up makes it sounds awesome! I'm especially into Shut Up and Hunger for Death.

I'm enjoying working out a new Standard deck on Arena. I have to figure out a sideboard for the paper version because I have just been playing best-of-1 so far. Overall win rate is almost 80% with this iteration (43-12). #MTG

The first day of the Internet2 Tech Exchange in Boston has been great. Lots of good presentations and great topics covered. I got to spout my opinions on how to design/model your source of truth to build in the right level of abstraction and focus on intent instead of irrelevant details.

Thanks to the Spotify DJ for tossing a Blaze Foley song into my mix. I feel like I'm 40 years late to the party, and now I want to work on my finger picking patterns after getting to know Clay Pigeons and If I Could Only Fly. Amazing music!
