Sunday. 9th. 9/11. Stu had a recipe he wanted to make up this week that had pork belly, but not the rind. So the butcher cut it off and gave it to us separately. So I made crackling with it! It actually turned out really well.
Stu also cooked up a cauliflower bake and some sweet potato and we had that with leftover beef.
Stranger Things 2.6. Early night.
Monday. So I think I got to sleep ok, but I know I was restless. Then I woke up at 4:42. Hurray.
Usual day of NEIL and all the crap.
We may have cut down the bamboo sprout..
Stu cooked up that pork belly with a very nice Japanese recipe. My only complaint: not enough vegetables ;)
Stranger Things 2.7. Then finished watching the You Are What You Eat docuseries. Yeah really need to eat less meat! hmmm.
Tuesday. Hebrews 9:27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Got stuck into planning moving proxies temporarily. Remembering there's no such thing as temporary solutions at our work. Stu cooked up the mince I cooked the other day with some stock and flavourings. And there was a lot more veggies :) I didn't eat all that mince, I gave some to the sweetie.
Stranger Things 2.8. Finished watching Half-Life Histories (for now).
Wednesday. Stoopid MyWay+ is stoopid. It keeps refusing to bring up my QR code. Last time it did this I fiddled and fiddled and got it going, but not this morning. It did mean a free ride though. Hurrah. NEIL/proxy migration/crap. I only really got any useful work done after about 16:30. Stoopid MyWay+ is stoopid. This evening I did what I did last time and signed into the portal within the app. This seems to kick it, and turns out that was probably what got it working two weeks ago.
Stu cooked up leftover pork belly with more garlic spinach and rice.
Stranger Things 2.9 which finished season 2 which was pretty cool. Tony messaged me about the aurora (which was super helpful otherwise I never would have seen it). Got some photos but couldn't actually *see* anything. Went to bed wayy past my bed time but then epic restless legs because I was overtired.
Thursday. Yeah crap sleep after a bit of a late night. NEIL/proxies/crap. Finished copying across all the proxy config and then managed to test it. After Jim extended my admin ID because the new system is too lame and doesn't work yet. How am i meant to do my JOB without the access i need?? But yeah was super excited that the proxies "just worked" after copying all the config. Even kerberos authentication which is a strange beast. But then my desktop froze up and never came back which made me depressed because you never know what you've LOST when your computer crashes. Good drinks though. Made pizzas then watched The Simpsons 36.14 (I think we may have missed some, need to check synopses).
Friday. Crap sleep. Again. Hurray. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. .. I learnt that as: Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. I wonder what my printed copy has.
Yeah I have strawberries growing as WEEDS in our pavers!
Remember those LR44 batteries from 1998? Well they finally died. Given they were well over twenty five years old and lasted for nearly two years once I started using them I was pretty damned impressed. Yayy Seiko! I bet the Energizer ones I bought today won't last that long!
Logged into work and found my desktop had only frozen and hadn't completely crashed! So it was all there!!! Hurray!! Finished getting the proxy cutover work done and did some testing. I got frustrated at our border firewalls that barely work and you have to FIGHT them to get certificates deployed. Then I got frustrated with our Strata mob who don't send reminders if you don't pay your strata fees, they start charging ridiculous interest. No idea what happened this time, I had filed the email, filed the attachment, and marked it as paid on my budget spreadsheet, but couldn't find any payment in my internet banking. So I paid it. Without the interest. Because it's RUDE that they don't send a reminder first. I've complained to them about it in the past too. Then got frustrated with St George's internet banking which doesn't give you an option to add a nickname to payee accounts. So if I have two payee accounts with the same name but different account numbers I have to go and look up which account is which. Every. Damned. Time. They've never updated their internet banking interface in OVER TWENTY YEARS!! So I complained AGAIN to them about it. Then I got frustrated at the ATO because their billing system is so TRASH!! I had a "New myGov Inbox message" so went to look. It's complaining about an overdue PAYG tax bill, but I can't find any original bills at all!! They just give me a dollar value and say it's overdue. They don't say which quarter it's for. Fricken HOPELESS ATO!!!!! Not only that, but most of the links from MyGov to the ATO site were giving such fun errors as "An error has occurred. We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. We apologise for any inconvenience. Try again later." Yeah thanks ATO. Had EB over after dinner and we watched a 50th anniversary documentary on Jaws (Jaws @ 50) which was pretty cool.
Saturday. Awake from 2:52 for most of the rest of the night. Hurrah.
More WEEDS! ;)
Day of housework, Lego filing, jigsaw, scanning. Then went over to Rob and Fiona's for a "deck warming" which was a very pleasant evening, but a bit of a late night, whoops.
Sunday. Slept relatively well all things considered. Spent entirely too much time geotagging photos of Dad's. Whoops.
