#infosec annoyance of the day - I use a tool for work that requires me to put in a rolling one-time code for 2fa, and doesn't show the code as I'm typing it.
That would be ok, except if I switch apps to copy the code so I can paste it in, it usually forces me to re-enter my username and password, then even though I'm in the 30 second validity window, it refuses the code.
So I have to wait till the 30 seconds roll over, copy the code, switch to the tool, re-enter my username/password, hope it doesn't take so long to negotiate with the back end that the code in my clipboard expires, then finally paste the code.
Conveniently I only have to do it multiple times a day, every work day.

Content warning: Advent of Code Solution - Day 7 (Python)
Once I pulled my head out of my ass this wasn't horrible. Part 1 was straightforward, decided to do some set stuff and managed to get it right the first time. Part 2 made my brain hurt a bit because all of the ideas that came to me were very, very slow and memory intensive. Then decided to scrap it and just do what the directions told me to do: count the paths...so I replaced the dumb with a dictionary which was so much better as an idea.

Dear Europe and others,
I've had a busy day.
I had work all day - as a hospice chaplain taking care of dying people.
This morning my mother went to the hospital for testing related to her dementia. Then, in the late afternoon she fell and had to go back for more testing. She's OK now.
And ICE shot a woman who did nothing wrong. And will probably get away free.
I'd love to protest in the streets but I'm just trying to live. I'll do what I can.

I’m seeing more comments to my blog from people asking for the latest support / bug / gap / etc for testing I’ve performed.

Totally normal problems.
So one day I had trouble zipping my winter jacket; around the final teeth, the zipper would stop catching. And when I tried again, I couldn't zip anything at all. Finally, at nth careful attempt it finally worked, and I had no more trouble that day. When I've turned, we looked at it, and decided that a loose thread must have gotten into it while zipping. Cut the thread off.
Next day, the zipper worked just fine in the morning. However, when I was about to leave the train, it suddenly stopped working. It seemed that I'm up for a cold day in unzipped jacket, but it finally caught a few minutes later, on the road. This time, I suspected the zipper. Tightened it, it started working again.
Today, I've tried zipping it three times to make sure it really works. And of course, as soon as I arrived at the destination, it refused to zip. I've tried again while walking, and it fell apart completely. Fortunately, the wind stopped blowing, and walking on snow was hard enough to jumpstart my metabolism fast. Finally, I've replaced the zipper and now everything works.
I wonder what tomorrow holds…

I never thought I’d be doing this at my age…
That’s what my friends Karen and Chris told me recently. She’s a retired teacher; he’s a retired firefighter. They are a Canadian couple from Alberta who, over the past few years, have travelled the world, spent time with their family, and helped over a thousand individuals and couples build an online business that removed financial anxiety from their lives.
How did they do this? They got involved in an online business a few years ago and helped others do the same. They had a mentor to guide them from day one. But on top of that they had access to and support of other experienced people on the team. They were able to take advantage of a huge library of training resources that showed them how to get started and keep going in an effective manner. And they had the flexibility to work on their new business based on their priorities and schedules.
The results speak for themselves.
If you’re wondering if it’s possible for you, message me to learn more.

I stayed up far too long tonight for this one, but it was fun. Saw that we were dealing with an absolute metric ton of ranges at the very beginning so my initial thought was to reduce/merge those ranges and that's what I spent most of my time on before even tackling part 1.
It paid off tremendously and made solving everything very, very easy. There's still the Nim version to write, but I'll handle that after I get some sleep.

Hey... it's snowing again... what a surprise.
Our first winter in Barrie has been eventful as we've now gone 12 days with 2cm or more snow accumulation per day, and had a streak broken yesterday of 10 straight days of heavy snow / snow squall warnings.
According to local media the 2025 November/December snowfall amount is the highest in 25 years. Based on my substantial lack of meteorological knowledge I am predicting less snow than normal for the rest of the winter. The lakes are cooling quickly and icing over due to the colder than normal temperatures. That should reduce the lake effect snow squalls coming off of Georgian Bay.

10 years ago today I exited my own company to go all-in on digital accessibility as a solo consultant.
I spent my afternoon in the office getting dizzy. I was also the only one there.

Ah, ein Paper der Art "Ich untersuche Generalthema X und verschwinde gleich im ersten Abschnitt im Dickicht eines peripher relevanten Chronologieproblems, aus dem ich nie wieder herausfinde". My day is made.

Living in a capitalist society makes me simultaneously hate and understand some things.
Back when the Sunday shopping ban was set in Poland by one of the right-wing parties (with some exceptions for petty capitalists, of course), I was outraged. Why are they forcing their religious customs on me?! But nowadays, I do realize that in a capitalist society, where employment laws are full of loopholes and employers explicitly punish employees for taking a day off, an obligatory no-business day is the only way.
On top of that, after living next to a supermarket for a few years… this is literally the only way to have a quiet day, without cars driving, and car doors slamming all the time. And of course night time deliveries, because you obviously can't lose day's business over such things.
And what I hate even more are these multi-day holidays and long weekends, where suddenly all my routine falls apart, and I can't really enjoy holidays while the train timetable is randomly punctuated. But then, I do realize that obligatory multi-day holidays are the only way for many people to simultaneously have a day off and be able to meet their families and friends.
I'm not really compatible with the world I'm living in.

"I think nobody knows how hard I have been working to get this trophy.
I chased this moment so much,” said Carlos Alcaraz,
who was contesting his first major since ending his partnership with his coach of seven years, Juan Carlos Ferrero, in December.
“Preseason was a little bit of a rollercoaster emotionally… [My team] was just pushing me to do the right things every day, so I have to say I’m really grateful for everyone I have in my corner right now.”

My friend Brad Bazemore KK4PWJ wanted a totally free — zero cost, 100% open source — comprehensive US Amateur Radio study app. His day job is in testing, and he really knows his stuff.
So he built Open Ham Prep.
I'm super grateful for Hamstudy — it's how I passed all three tests, and I contributed to a bunch of explanations, especially improving ones that were just mn…

Much like how I don’t celebrate my son’s birthday on the day my wife and I conceived him, the Declaration of Independence was important, but it does not mark the birth of the nation.

#AdventOfCode day 4 was quite easy (though my solution is not very performant (1sec))

Ooooo, I knew that my initial solution for Part 1 was going to get absolutely discarded for Part 2 (which inevitably came true). Lots of string sorting, grabbing an index, and a moving window to find the largest value.
Pretty proud of the solve, it's fast and it's all that janky.

Hey all,
today was a totally grey day. Very low hanging clouds. Actually a superb inversion -- if I would have had the time for a walk to the mountains. Yet other topics were on my schedule for today.
But hey, this is what photos are for: having memories about good time, right? I wrote more about it here: https://www.

All worry is laid to waste.
The endorphins rushing wild from the freezing water,
the music pounding through my body,
the caffeine,
the fucking ducks and the God-roiling sky
– no what-ifs,
no yeah-buts,
no what-abouts,
no caveats, at all.
I am made happy,
and that happiness is entire and incontestable.
And all the way home, I go
— to my beautiful waking wife
– on this, the best day ever.
Love, Nick Cave

Seriously, my freelancing has shown me the inner workings of a •lot• of different companies, I’ve heard a lot of corporatespeak in my day, and…this letter from a bunch of Minnesota CEOs —
❝we are calling for an immediate deescalation of tensions❞
❝state, local and federal officials to work together❞
❝find real solutions❞
— is some of the most hollow, tone-deaf, embarrassing, Bristol Type 7 dribble I’ve ever heard from corporate leadership.

Not a bad start, part 2 kinda kicked my ass because reading is really, really hard. I made the assumption that there wouldn't be any spins greater than 99 which was a horrible, horrible assumption to make.
However, not too difficult overall, happy enough with the solve.

This one was fun, probably should've waited until tomorrow to start on it. However, think it turned out pretty well. Got some slicing, lots of strings, and as always: modulo comparisons.
