Made some real progress on the mac setup front today and learned how to split APFS Fusion drives (it's easier than the old core storage-based way).

Turns out Spotify seems to have all of the Murderbot Diaries audiobooks, so that's probably how I'm going to finally start consuming them.

Made the mistake of copying the uncompressed folder with all of the several 100K actual player faces I downloaded at some point for FM 2024. Nothing kills a file transfer like a ridiculous number of small individual files.

Absolutely loved Murderbot and very happy that season 2 has already been confirmed!

Spurs 0 - 1 Bournemouth All too familiar pre-international break let down performance.

Anna Konkle guesting on Murderbot is so perfect. Fun to see her in another show post Pen15!
๐ค AUG 29 2025 15:37
A little depressing that I've already reached the time of day where I'd be done with work if I had gone in today, but it's not like I haven't been productive today.

Now that I've fixed the kitchen sink and confirmed that the valve had a frayed smiley shaped gasket, I wonder how hard it would be to 3d print a replacement?

Good 6.1K run with the girls this morning on the Children of the Sun trail. It was one of our hillier runs, and the sun was a little hot, but everyone did well today.

Made more progress on draining the pool, but getting close to the point where I'm going to throw the pup's kiddy pool in and start bailing the shallow remaining water into it and running the pump from there.
๐งนAUG 28 2025 20:46
Cleaning up my iMac's desktop tonight after years of letting it get out of control. You'd think I might have a decent system for organizing things after all these years.

Building AC may be broken again based on what we're experiencing this morning.
๐โ๏ธ AUG 27 2025 14:54
Finally figured out how to properly configure Jamf Connect and Self Service+, but now I need to figure out making Self Service go away when Self Service+ is installed.

Thought I'd deployed the latest Chrome release to my Test group yesterday, but discovered today AutoPkgr was behind because the hard drive on my packaging machine had filled up with old packages at some point, and I hadn't caught the version number difference yesterday. ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ

Started watching Murderbot now that we have AppleTV+ again and enjoyed the first episode quite a bit. I'd watch another one if I didn't have stuff that I need to get done.

Got in a great lunchtime run with the girls since it was way cooler than expected, thanks to the cloud cover. Seems to be heating up outside now, though.
๐ AUG 26 2025 13:32
I'm so tuned out of basketball right now that I wondered how Courtney Vandersloot's return to the Sky was going today and discovered that a torn ACL ended her season back in June.๐

In today's great news that I just learned of: King of the Hill has another season coming because it already has 10 more episodes in the can. More importantly, it's been a streaming success out of the gate with 1.3B minutes for week one!

Wasn't expecting it to be overcast this morning, but wouldn't mind if it hung around for a while and kept the expected temperatures down a little bit today.
๐ AUG 26 2025 07:34
Optimal running temperatures this morning, but the rest of the day will be really hot even by dusk. Nathan has band camp on artificial turf during the worst of it today!๐ฑ
๐ก AUG 26 2025 07:23
Overnight pool drain was productive, we're down to the last foot or so of water. Lots of cleaning remains to be done before we take everything down, but S volunteered to help yesterday.
๐ก AUG 26 2025 07:20
Working from home today as usual, appreciating the solitude of my office, and trying to be as productive as possible from the get-go.
๐บ AUG 25 2025 12:17
I've really enjoyed the new season of King of the Hill with retired empty nesters Hank and Peggy Hill struggling to figure out this new phase of life, and Bobby Hill and his friends as young twenty-somethings doing the work and college thing.

It's still absolutely wild to me that Reggie Miller turned 60 a few days ago (I am old). I suspect he's also the fittest retired NBA player of his vintage, as he's an avid cyclist and MTB rider.

Weird, I tried to switch to my personal email address for Peacock, but it still slurped up my existing work email associated one (I got a deep discount through work a few years ago) when I set up Stream Saver. Guess we'll see what happens.
๐ท AUG 25 2025 08:08
The AC maybe working again, but Foley basement still has that dusty musty air quality thing going on that started after it broke.
๐บ AUG 24 2025 15:43
Signing up for the $15 Stream Saver bundle with Netflix, Peacock, and AppleTV+, is turning out to be more challenging than I anticipated.

Our dumb Delta kitchen faucet is dripping again. In my experience, those cartridge valves only last 3 or 4 years before they start dripping.

Pape Mata Sarr put up a hilarious Instagram story where he was messing around with a basketball and a hoop, and it's immediately apparent that, despite being a tremendous athlete, he's barely touched a ball in his life.
