Scott Alan Miller :: A Life Online
Friday. Spent my day working as usual. Working from the home office, nothing special there.
Tonight we ordered in Chinese take away from China One. We like their food a lot, and it is not too expensive. And Luciana is really into their shrimp.
The girls and I played some Skyrim this evening.
DuoLingo Streak: 75 Days
Thursday. Nothing of interest today. Checked all of my logs and nothing. Nothing at all. I know that I was working, I have a lot of technical posts from today, but other than that, nothing recorded.
This is why I hate getting so far behind on SGL updates. When I record things as they happen, there is so much going on. But when I try to go back and do it later, it seems like nothing happened at all. Life really isn’t that boring, it just didn’t get recorded.
Wednesday. Very busy day online. Loads of writing and posting, mostly on MangoLassi. So much so that I had very little time for much else this morning.
ML updated to NodeBB 1.7.0 today. That took a bit of my day just testing and preparing for that.
This afternoon I did art class with Liesl and Luciana. They liked having me as their art teacher today. It was a lot of fun.
I passed the one hundred thousand posts on MangoLassi mark today.
Tuesday.
I’m scheduled to be traveling to Doha, Qatar a week from tomorrow. But I have my doubts that they will be able to schedule it, to get the meetings that they claim that they are going to get, or can even afford the plane tickets. So we will see. This could easily turn into my month of just waiting to see what happens. Already waiting a bit, I was supposed to have traveled already. Lots of “hurry up and wait”.
ML was busy this morning. Since I now have a week during which time I know that I am not traveling, it was a good morning to get my laptop updated to Fedora 27, so I took care of that while I had the time.
Spiceworks has gotten so belligerent and unprofessional that I’ve had to actively start muting moderators and other high profile people. It’s become a really unhealthy place full of mean spirited people not trying to help each other but actively trying to hurt one another for fun. It’s unreal how bad it has gotten and how angry and rotten people have become towards anyone actually trying to do IT or help one another there. It’s become outright unethical the stuff being promoted, often officially.
We got an offer on our house in New York. Not high enough for us to accept, but it is our first offer. Have to start somewhere.
Sean and I went out for drinks this evening. We went to El Rincon which is in old downtown Carrollton more or less around the corner. It’s a tequila bar and does some really nice stuff. It used to be Cafe Azul, also a tequila bar, and this is my first time ever making it in to it.
Monday. It’s a holiday today so after a little work writing and posting this morning I spent a bit of the day hanging out with the kids and playing video games.
Both girls played Skyrim quite a bit today. They have both been really into it for a while, it’s their new favourite game. Liesl is especially really getting into the solid gameplay.
