Jussi's 10Centuries Playground

Hectic evening today. First I left from work to get the boy from the daycare. Then I warmed up food for the whole family. After the dinner I drove my wife and the firstborn to a school for an information sharing event¹. Next I drove the younger daughter to her new hobby. While she was there, I went to the grocery store with the youngest. Now I am waiting for the younger daughter at the parking lot. We still need to handle laundry and empty the dishwasher before, but I think I will outsource those tasks to someone else.

1. The event was about applying to the art-focused education the school gives, and the firstborn would like to apply for that.

@matigo As if Google would care for the "users" of the service…

@matigo Yep. Soon there will be an ad once in a minute…

Yesterday I learned a new example of The Great Span: [kottke.org] as of December 2018, there were 2 living grandsons of the 10th president of the USA John Tyler. [en.wikipedia.org] Fascinating, I would say.

I need to rethink one feature of the app. I might need to rewrite it from scratch because it has so many moving parts. That causes the current implementation to be prone to errors.

@streakmachine Aye. I find it fascinating how people can get so agitated by a thing.

Now I remember the name of that service provider: macstadium.com.

@streakmachine I think I just recently watched a video of a company that provides VPN servers that run on Macs. They have tons and tons of Mac Minis, Mac Pros, and racks full of Xserve units to run the servers on.

@matigo

@matigo Yep…

I took the youngest to the daycare before they called me from the dentist's office that my appointment for today is cancelled because the dentist is sick. Now I am home for the whole day with the older kids while the plan was to be here only in the afternoon.

Working remotely. That means that the older kids are constantly interrupting me. Super annoying.
