Wednesday, September 25th, 2019A great Wednesday! (25th) Had my six-week follow up with my surgeon. They did X-ray my back and my surgeon said I’m clear to return to life, mostly. No swimming until the back skin is fully healed, but for mostly everything else I’m clear! Things I’ve been prohibited from doing over the last six weeks: […]
Work, TV, New iPhone
Friday, September 20th, 2019A good Friday. (20th) Regular workday for me, except that I’m supposed to work on my secondary project this one day per week, and I didn’t really get to, due to minor emergencies with two of my primary products. Nothing customer impacting, but then again, that’s what I’m here for. Watched a few episodes of […]
Core Values, TV, iOS 13
Thursday, September 19th, 2019Just realized I forgot to post yesterday’s update. Sorry! A good Thursday. (19th) Regular work day. Rackspace announced their new Core Values today. They are a distillation and simplification of the previous set of Core Values. I think it’s a good step forward. Today, I learned that the Sony PS4 doesn’t support 5GHz wireless. That’s […]
Lunch, Robotics, Python
Tuesday, September 17th, 2019A good Tuesday. (17th) Had lunch at our normal weekly spot, Smokin Joes. Yummy BBQ Frito Pie. Tuesday’s are our regularly scheduled Vex Robotics homeschool sessions, but today we also had a family come over early to look over the Wonder League Robotics Competition. https://www.makewonder.com/classroom/robotics-competition/ The WL stuff looks neat, so we decided to offer it to […]
9/11, Frost Bank Time, Work
Wednesday, September 11th, 2019A good Wednesday. (11th, never forget, where were you?) Had a conversation about old stuff. Old stuff including making phone calls for directory assistance, movie times, etc. Then we remembered Frost Bank Time. Turns out, it’s still going. Seriously. 80 years and still going strong. ( https://www.expressnews.com/entertainment/arts-culture/article/Frost-Bank-time-keeps-on-ticking-after-14073926.php ) (210) 226-3232. So, of course, we had to call it. We […]
Apple, Frito Pie, Robotics, RackerGamers
Tuesday, September 10th, 2019A good Tuesday. (10) Went to bed too late last night, so got up late. Watched much of the Apple Event before leaving the house for our weekly Tuesday lunch. New iPhones, new Watches and an updated iPad were announced, as well as clarifications & pricing on a couple of new services from Apple — […]
Work, Email, Pokemon
Wednesday, September 4th, 2019A good Wednesday. (4th) Today was my first day back at work. Doctor has me WFH for 3 weeks, pending evaluation. Mostly worked to catch up on email. I was ~1500 emails unread, I work 4 days a week, I was out for 3 weeks… so, about 125 emails a day behind. Got through many […]
MUA3, TV
Sunday, September 1st, 2019A good Sunday. (Sept. 1st) Pretty much played Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 all day with my son. Seriously, ~9 hours straight of it. Made some good progress. Unlocked something like 20 of the characters. Gonna get RSI if I’m not careful. ? Watched the final two Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. That finishes up season 2, […]
MUA3, Nostalgia
Saturday, August 31st, 2019A good Saturday. (31st) Watched a bit of Daredevil season 2. Watched a bunch of The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes with my younger son. It’s not currently available for streaming. We finished season 1 a while back, so we’re watching season 2. My 2nd Pro controller, PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller came in for my Switch, so I […]
TOOL, Timeline, Walking
Friday, August 30th, 2019A good Friday. (30th) Watched my younger son play some Galaxy on Fire on his iPad, then watched a movie with him. The new TOOL album, Fear Inoculum, came out today. https://music.apple.com/us/album/fear-inoculum/1475686696 Listened to it, I’ll have it on again when I go to sleep. It’s a bit more mellow than previous albums. Finished Jessica Jones season […]
