I was screaming, I was trying to vocalize something along the lines of Monty Python, but it didn’t work. The insulation is too thick, noone heard my gurgling recitation of the Cheese Shop sketch.

Gotdammit… I changed the DNS server on my site to the wrong one… and now I’ve changed it back again but WHY does it take 24 hours for that to update!! Its the internet!! It should be instant! grumblegrumble - also, this means when I thought I had changed servers TWO years ago… I did NOT! which means I’ve been paying for double hosting for two years… because one should never try to change hosts when one has an active concussion! Brain injuries are expensive! arglebargle bah!

Tips from a former ISP operator:
- You can tweak the TTL down to something short like 5 or 10 minutes the day before making a change… but almost nobody ever ends up doing that, because the usual 24-hour TTL means you have to remember to do this a day before you make the change and most DNS server changes are made in a frantic hurry because it’s set to the wrong address.
- Unless your domain is incredibly high traffic you can safely leave the TTL at something like 6 hours (21600) instead of the stock 24 hours, which causes only a slight increase in NS queries, and means you don’t have to wait a whole day for screw-ups to be fixed. People don’t usually do this because they think they’ll never need to change it, until suddenly they do.

Fuck, I miss that grouchy banana, who still wore the birkenstocks he bought in Vermont for harvesting maple syrup, only now he wears them when harvesting apples in Texas for cider, all the while regaling those within earshot with tales of his days as a lumberjack in Portland.
Be well, awjt.

He rage-quit over a disagreement from a couple of weeks ago. I gathered that there could be something else going on in his life at the time though. Hope he’s doing OK.

Insomnia is killing me. I’m walking around in a fog and I feel like shit. All I can think about is making it through the day and going back to bed.

Fuck today as my productivity for anything that NEEDS TO BE DONE is already fucked over.
stupid compliance reports hey this patch is missing. Oh you mean this one? Which was skipped last update because not applicable and all our other servers that are also missing said patch are compliant?
Why the fuck are you wasting my time hunting down this bullshit and having to repeat myself to different groups instead of actually getting my servers finished being built? Because we will be red tomorrow (and oh you waited till just now to tell me too) I have to drop everything and deal with this shit show.
Fuck that my motivation to get the needs to be done stuff is pretty much done for today as well because I will be fuming over this for the rest of the day.

Oh my God, waiting child (luckily with other parents around) at station Blaak. Yes Blaak , very nice DH said “I will pick him up from the birthday party, you have ran errants enough for today”. (wow, that should be in victory thread). But… msg and phone call: “I can’t find them”.
I did some calls, “They are really there”. “I can’t see them”. “Where are you?” “At the central station”. Noo… Blaak, near the 'markthal". “But I’m at the central station”. … “Why? I did mention BLAAK more than one time”.
Pfffff… listening is also an art. Told him I was planning to cycle to a nearby metrostation and go with the metro, instead off cycling from Blaak to home (hard wind now), but not that handy at that time because you need to switch metro if you want to go from Blaak to there. Talked about the new bicycle parking place at (yes…) Blaak, nice place to sit in the sun while waiting. And just plain in the afternoon: ‘they will be at station Blaak, between 18:30 and 19:00 but will send an SMS.’
Nothing real harm this time I hope, but it can make me crack, ‘why … is … listening … that … difficult …?’

I ripped out all the carpeting in our house. It was awful anyway.
I put cheap-o plastic one-piece potties in every room.
I had a stack of old worn out towels in every room, sorta near the potty. Not too near.
I tried to do as much of the potty-training during summer as possible, when it was warm and the kid had only diapers/training underwear to take off, with no other additional layers of clothing for the trainee to deal with.
I tried hard not punish failures or let disappointment show on my face.
I tried not to make a huge deal about success rates either.
I encouraged a lot of time outside for unreliable trainees. No pants. Extra potties. In our neighborhood, we are lucky, a half-naked baby wandering around isn’t going to cause much of a stir. Privacy fences are also a good thing. Fire ant mounds, which out here are many and huge, are… something to teach about early and often, esp. to the pantsless.
I realize only now that a lot of my good luck stemmed from a very mellow neighborhood, good weather, zero devotion to interior decor aesthetics, and giving up being in a hurry.
