I had a patch embroidered for my wife, a foot doctor.
Today I’m trekking the 1.5 mi walking part of my commute with 20 lbs of iron in my backpack. I’m reasonably confident in my ability to get it there with me intact. I’m less confident of my power to schlep it back home tonight.
Waking up to KMFDM blasting in the bedroom, a very surprised looking cat, and the HomePod she just accidentally coaxed into life by sniffing the top of it.
When an email’s footer starts with “The content of this email is intended for the person or entity to which it is addressed only”, the desire to turn it into a blog post is almost irresistible.
I’m super excited to be joining a small company next week as their first dedicated security engineer. After being at much larger companies for a little while, I’m ready to be back in the trenches.

They further state that demands for anonymity show “lack of knowledge of Swiss political institutions”.
If you’re an Infomaniak user, you should stop that ASAP.
I just successfully performed concussive maintenance on a recalcitrant smart speaker.
Me: Hey Siri, play music for me.
HomePod: Here is some music just for you… Sorry, there was a problem with Apple Music.
Me: bops the HomePod in frustration
HomePod: Here is some music just for you… 🎵🎵🎵
Me: That worked?
(If I asked it other questions, like “Hey Siri, what’s my next appointment?”, it’d correctly answer with my personal information. It only affected Apple Music.)
