Well it's almost 3 weeks into the new year. Been a crazy few weeks.
Work went from 0 (vacation) to 60 in nothing flat. This weekend was my
latest attempt to migration 'The Software in Yellow' (my new nickname
for the Atlassian Suite). Things were completed this afternoon, and
testing will start tomorrow AM. *crosses all the tentacles*. I'm really
sick of dealing with this, hopefully I'll get some kind of break soon
from looking at it. We'll see.
Non work stuff, I rolled back the upgrade on Dagon soon after I made the
post last time, the new SSD I had failed, so I rushed to plug in the
old one. Which solved a number of frustrations. New computer plan is to
build a computer new system, install the latest on that. Then transfer
stuff from system to system, so I can work out the kinks without having
to live through them. My new project though is a new media player system,
I'm finding Shoggoth just doesn't have the oomph to deal with some media.
So I'm picking up a gently used Lenovo tiny PC, going to throw some flavor
of Ubuntu/Debian/Mate on it, and plug that in. Same basic setup, just
more power.
Another project is getting pushed back. I had a plan to move when my
lease was up this spring. But given how work is, and how the universe
has been acting, along with the amount of stuff I need to do before the
move, makes me think I just want to push it back one last time. Gives me
time to plot, plan and organize. I'm also thinking of getting a storage
unit, help clear out some space so I have room to organize easier. Plus
I have stuff that I don't want to get rid of, but I don't need on hand
all the time. Same with clearing some shelf space. We'll see how that
all goes. (I've planned this about a dozen times in the past I think)
Not much else to speak of. This has been sitting open without anything
else to type for a long while now. Going to call it a post. Hoping
tonight I'll get some decent sleep, and that tomorrow's migration testing
goes smooth. I'm also off Monday, which will probably be a hermit and
chill day. At least, that's what I hope.
