Over the weekend I came close to joining these two sections of where I've ridden my bike! The square on the bottom is where the bike shop is where I got my new bike a month ago. Might be a project for next weekend.

Good morning!
That's when I touched snow last weekend. The Weather looks like I could do it again this weekend.

With government shutdown imminent, Cantwell highlights Democrats' key demand:
Stopping sharp increase in health insurance costs
Congress headed into the weekend with a government shutdown all but certain to begin on Wednesday,
as Democrats demand Republican majorities in the House and Senate act to keep health insurance costs from rising
while the White House dismissed that condition as "radical left insanity."
WTF Buma? “Deze variant is afgevallen”??
Dat is kleutergedrag van de VVD belonen op een totaal onnodig moment midden in de onderhandelingen tussen CDA en D66 terwijl nog helemaal niet duidelijk is welke partijen daar inhoudelijk bij passen.
Buma: 'Geen kabinet VVD met GL-PvdA' • Bontenbal: 'Dit weekend aan teksten schaven' https://
Things that were great this weekend: playing copious amounts of FF6. Put in about 24 hours into the game and I'm still not halfway in. Just an awesome game.
Things that weren't a great idea this weekend: Putting in 24 hours to the game. I swear that starting work this morning I could literally see CRT scanlines on my monitors while writing Terraform.

Check out today's Metacurity for a solid round-up of the most critical infosec developments you might have missed over the weekend, including
--UK government bails out Jaguar Land Rover with $2 billion loan,
--Hackers contacted Harrods after 430K customer records were stolen,
--Hackers threaten to release more Kido nursery school records,
--Russia's undersea spying ops become more brazen,
--Unitree robots afflicted by a severe flaw,
--Akira attacks …
Niet te geloven dit, voor een flink bedrag in Rusland tegen een balletje gaan slaan terwijl datzelfde land nu burgers en kinderen in Oekraïne vermoordt.

Just signed off a meeting and someone said `Have a good long weekend everybody`. Checked the calendar. Hurh. Labour Day.
HOW IS IT LABOUR DAY ALREADY!? Didn't we just have.. Christmas?
No wee one this weekend as son, his ex, her son, and the wee one, are all out camping at Wee Jasper for Dragon Dreaming.
Son is working some of the time but I can just imagine a naked wee one dancing away like his father did when he was small at the hippie fests of old.
Might not be my kind of music but it's theirs, and they love it as much as we did ours.

Restoring a 1960s F-frame Moulton cycle. Quite a weekend wrestling with stuck cottar pins (used a vice and socket as a press in the end, with a long tube on the handle for super torgue), then the bottom bracket fixed cup, and now have stronglight 145mm (not for me) cranks installed. Chain line is slightly off so I might need to change the bb, but at least I know the correct dimensions now. I bought the bike on a whim years ago and used it for shopping and other loads.
Could be worse; you could be spending your weekend flashing a fleet of planes.
This weekend I went out past Newark Valley to Oakley Corners State Forest which has two fair sized ponds -- this one has an island in it

About last night. Among many other things that can't be talked about there was good #meshcore radio reception on the rooftop of weekend club Berlin :)
New work laptop. I don't want to sign it into my #Apple account for obvious reasons.
Connect my Apple trackpad to the new work machine and it works fine.
Try to reconnect the trackpad to my personal Mac so I can do some homelab stuff over the weekend, not so fine. It shows up in the BT menu, but won't actually connect until I have the laptop forget the device.
Ok, I think, I'll just connect it wired since I only use the trackpad at my desk at home anyway.
That doesn't work because why would you want to be able to plug in a device with a wire and have it Just Work when instead you could get to fuck around with Bluetooth.
And of course I get to do the forget device bullshit again in order to use it with my work laptop today

We had a surprise opportunity to go to the beach this weekend, near Southport NC. I have the weird preference to sling my hammock under the house, between the clotheslines, instead of sleeping indoors. Half camping? I use a big rubbermaid box as my "suitcase" and put my shoes on it overnight... It was cold at night, but an underquilt and reflecting bubble insulation in the hammock, with an inflatable mattress on top of my down sleeping bag, kept me cozy.
My wife and I went to …
