Making Christmas edition of Wassail Tea.

My daughter visited my office today and sketched out this microservice architecture.

So far, the out-of-the-box experience with the Synology DS416 is pretty great!

Sobering how many more women than men there are in assisted living centers.

Ordered Synology DS416 and four drives from Amazon. Synology arrives Monday. Drives on Tuesday. Buzzkill for Monday night.

Not enough being said about streaming music services bringing DRM back to an ecosystem we only recently rid of that plague.

Interesting new http status code. Hat tip to Tim Bray!

Saturday reading on microservices.

Been eating Siggis Dairy skyr (yogurt) and am impressed at how simple the ingredient list is. Real food.

At Stages Theatre Company with family for A Charlie Brown Christmas play!

Read paragraph 2 of this security notice. Considering what we know from Edward Snowden, you wonder who may have put this backdoor in.

Feeling like I’m the only person on Twitter not chomping at the bit to see Star Wars.

I’ve been debating my home storage options for a long time now. I’ve had a LaCie 4big Quadra RAID for many years now with 6TB usable space. It’s very old now, I can only use it with Firewire 800 which is quickly disappearing from the world. It recently failed a drive and I decided it was time to make an upgrade.

I’ve ben hesitant about SANs because of their added complexity, but the Synology gets rave reviews and has some pretty great capabilities. The drive will get here along with four 4TB WD “Red” NAS drives.
