Got my score to the Mozart Requiem marked up per the scan of the conductor’s copy that was provided. Now to get some practice in prior to rehearsals starting in a few weeks!

The liturgy hits different when you are called to share the peace of the Lord and the body and blood of Christ with someone who gaslit and shamed you on Facebook during the week. ⚓️

Trying my hand at cooking somethingng new today. My paternal great-grandma, as a German immigrant to Kansas made bierocks and the recipe was handed down. It’s been in my recipe book for years but I’ve never triedd making them before! First up: meat and cabbage.

Synology started acting funny today. Turns out that if you install Netdata natively on the Synology, it puts a bunch of stuff in the system partition, and you end up running out of space, and weird stuff happens. Lesson learned: next time I’ll do it as a Docker install.

Loving the new micro.blog Bayou theme from @Mtt. I dug in and learned enough Hugo to customize it a bit, pretty happy with how it looks at the moment. One of these days I’ll take the time to try to roll my own, but for now happy to have talented designers’ work available.

On a call with our trade association reviewing the impact of the new US administration to our day-to-day business. The aviation industry needs regular updates to regulation and guidance to keep improving safety. Hoping the new leadership will see the light.

Joys of working for a big corp: IT pushes a Firefox update. Constant tab crashing. Disable all the extensions I can. Still crashing. Troubleshoot Mode works fine. Suspect the issue is the Endpoint extension that is IT-managed. Guess I’m running in Troubleshoot Mode for a while.

Started the day doing some minor editing for the oldest daughter. She was nominated for an award in her Engineering Communications class and needs to write a brief summary of what she learned there. Given that she’s the one nominated, she probably doesn’t need my help… but it’s nice to be asked. 😊
