I’ve got a mini PC running Debian for my home media and utility server. VNC has always been flaky as a remote desktop option. Got a GL.inet Comet KVM yesterday. It’s super-slick. Tailscale native. Connect USB and HDMI to the PC and can connect to the PC from anywhere I have a browser. Neat.
The Iowa Hawkeyes playing in Seattle tonight against U of W, didn’t start until 8pm central. Fortunately for me, the Hawks are up 27-0 before halftime, think I can safely go to bed. Or switch over to the Iowa State game if ESPN ever lets them start it.

Don’t know that I intended to run a half marathon when I started out today. Wasn’t really properly fueled, kinda dragged at the end. Still, a nice accomplishment for a Friday afternoon.
We’re at the point in our relocation plan where I want to keep an eye on real estate listings to get a feel for the housing market, the homes available, the neighborhoods, and so on, but where I am not actually in position to buy a new home for several more months.
It’s kind of frustrating.
One year ago today I had my first interview with Boeing for a job I would eventually take and start almost 4 months later. I never really expected such a big change 25+ years into my career, but it’s been a great 8 months in the new position.

Underdeveloped rapid-fire sci-fi thriller. Would’ve been intolerable if it wasn’t so easy to finish quickly.
In the first half, Nebraska has given up two TD drives that took < 1 min each, have almost 100 yards in penalties and only just over 100 yards in total offense, and still have the possibility here of going into halftime with a lead. Weird game.
