Cold and clear again, warming later. Had a beautiful sunrise yesterday. Orange, pink, blue sky… chilly willy though. Should be the same today. Mid 70sF in the afternoon, maybe a bit more. I’ll take it.<\/p>\n
After the sunrise, coffee, and getting the kids out the door, I did auction stuff, office stuff, and fell down a rabbit hole with some genealogy stuff online. I was mildly interested, now I’m mildly informed. The biggest change is how much more stuff has been digitized and is available online. Some of it, maybe most of it, is volunteer driven too, from what I saw. <\/p>\n
In the afternoon I did small things around the house. Several projects got minor attention and moved a tiny bit forward. I’m avoiding big stuff. One of the projects was recovering and repurposing D1’s old chromebook. It’s much more possible, and straightforward than it was a couple of years ago when I last looked. But it’s also far too much messing around when I’ve got a stack of other lappys that I can update or put new OSs on easily without jumping through flaming hoops. <\/p>\n
It’s a shame that schools are buying stuff that has no residual value and pretty much has to go into the landfill after only a few years. The kids don’t really need more at school, but the example it sets is bad.<\/p>\n
Today I’ll do a couple of pickups. And more small stuff from the list. I want to keep moving, even if it’s slowly and in tiny steps. <\/p>\n
Because that’s how you eat an elephant, one bite at a time.<\/p>\n
Always be working. And stacking.<\/p>\n
