🗓 Microcosm - 2024 Mar 16-23
🏀 MAR 23 2024 19:20
GU 71 - 53 KU FT 9th straight Sweet 16 and apparently Ryan Nembhard takes full ownership of the Gonzaga single season assists records with 12 tonight. That's kind of wild to me because of the caliber of guards GU has had over the years and how critical of Nembhart's play I've felt this season.
🏀 MAR 23 2024 14:06
GU 71 - 53 KU 10:52 Zags running away with this one in the second half. Kansas looking completely disjointed on offense.
⚽️ MAR 23 2024 13:32
Today's surprising Spurs stats is that Dejan Kulusevski has now had 86 appearances for Tottenham, more than any of his previous teams.
🏀 MAR 23 2024 13:26
Zags 43 - 44 KU HT Ryan Nembhard has 9 assists in the first half! Impressive execution from both teams.
🏀 MAR 23 2024 13:03
Zags 24 - 24 KU 8:06 Nearly forgot that the Zags were playing today at 12:30 today. It's actually on CBS too so no reason to miss it. Very close and physical game so far.

Played some MTGA and did some reading, but feel like this morning has been less productive than I intended because I haven't done any blog related work yet. Time to get in a quick bike ride and lunch.

Trying to export some posts from a third party site I used for a few years, but not having much luck. The process starts, identifies the number of entries, and then never spits out the archive file even when I let it run for a few hours.

I've actually got a bunch of different material to read this weekend. We're trying to finish Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by Sunday so we can watch the movie as a family. I'm getting close to the end of the War Lord audio book and I'm about 200 pages into I Will Always Write Back. On top of that a bunch of the supporting story chapters for the new Outlaws of Thunder Junction set just dropped as well and I'd like to start reading those.

Completely forgot about using cloudinary.com to host my images when I moved 100km.us over to Ghost at one point several years ago. I suppose I could just keep serving them from there, but making local copies seems prudent.

Had a really fun evening out with Mary last night for my 25th Anniversarian Dinner at Gonzaga. We were seated up front at a very solidly IT table and really enjoyed the good food and conversations with my colleagues. It was also really cool to be recognized alongside so many outstanding members of the community (the last two clocking in at 45 and 50 years respectively!) and to receive a really nice plaque commemorating my time at GU from President McCulloh.

Feel like Florida Atlantic cost themselves the game with the way they finished regulation. Screwing around and settling for a contested 3-ptr that got blocked when you had a fairly clear path to the basket for a drive against a team that's not going to want to foul with the clock winding down. Overtime has been a complete disaster for the Owls with minimal team offense and bad shots.

Love Marquette coach Shaka Smart's EGB (Energy Generating Behavior) approach to practice and games. CBS just had a great short (I wonder if they ever put them up on YouTube?) where he and his players talked about how they actively focus on EGBs to elevate the energy and togetherness of their team.

The (15) Long Beach State - (2) Arizona matchup was a good storyline given all the Gonzaga connections. And pretty cool to have all three teams playing in Utah today as well, but U of A has been dominating the matchup.

Had an intriguing thought about microblog to blog integration and archiving while out on a quick walk around campus. I think it makes sense to periodically archive microblog digest posts in my main blog archive, but I need to figure out some kind of script to parse the rss and automate the process.

Saw today that Elaine Chao had a blood alcohol level of .23 when she accidentally backed her Tesla into a pond on her ranch property and there was security footage of her walking unsteadily from the guest house to her car beforehand. Just a very unfortunate and tragic scenario all around.

Ended up finding a simple fix for the Serendipity import issues on their forum yesterday and tested things out by importing my 100km entries. Had a couple issues, but it worked well enough.
⚙️ MAR 20 2024 10:43
It appears that the blog import functionality in both Serendipity and Textpattern is currently broken. So annoying.
📚🎧 MAR 20 2024 09:10
Enjoying the War Lord audiobook quite a bit so far. Uhtred remains a clever and compelling protagonist. There was even a reference to Lincoln which I believe is the part of England that my surname ancestors may have originally hailed from.

Heh, a ton of my Homebrew packages seem to be out of date. Updating those so I can test out some different php-based blogging platforms.

I picked up a bizarre minor foot injury last night when I slipped while going downstairs in slippery socks. I dropped down a step, sent my wedding ring flying, and took a pretty solid blow to my unprotected right arch on the hard edge of the next step as I caught myself. Nothing was broken, but the ongoing soreness took me back four decades to when I last broke a bone in my foot.

At any rate by tweaking our current plan I was still able to reduce our monthly rate by quite a bit even after the Affordable Connectivity Program subsidy ends in April. To Comcast/Xfinity's credit they were very helpful in alerting customers about this upcoming change and providing options.
🌐 MAR 19 2024 13:40
Xfinity almost makes it worth the hassle of switching to their modem/wifi router with the way they're bundling unlimited for $5 less a month than when you use your own router but the risk of downtime seems too great.

I'm fascinated by Textpattern as a blogging platform. It's been plugging along for two decades and has some really unique and cool functionality, but it has clearly lost a lot of momentum as a platform and no longer has any built-in import or export functionality.

I've been feeling the itch to do something about revamping axodys.com again. Not sure exactly what that means other than removing the microblog elements and making it a more conventional site or possibly blog and probably moving off Blot hosting.
🗓 MAR 18 2024 12:05
It's always weird and surprising when I realize that I haven't microblogged anything on a given day. There were certainly times yesterday that I could have done it but for whatever reason never did.
⚽️ MAR 16 2024 11:55
FUL 3 - 0 TOT 64' Worst performance of the season. Spurs almost just gave up their fourth. Three subs coming in. Bissouma, Maddison, and Sarr coming off.
⚽️ MAR 16 2024 11:42
FUL 2 - 0 TOT 49' Spurs give up a quick score to open the half. Spurs not playing with any rhythm or control so far and Fulham are punishing them.
⚽️ MAR 16 2024 11:15
FUL 1 - 0 TOT 42' Antonee Robinson has been fantastic for Fulham today and sets up a perfect go-ahead strike with his carry up the left flank and cross. Fulham has outplayed Tottenham so far today.
