Hangar duty.
oh god we're all gonna die, bernie plz save us
wife came home from cali to rescue me, then proceeded to get wicked sick and has been out two days. Now I feel like I might be getting sick again and get the feeling that I won't get any sympathy, because MAN FLU. Oh well. Looks like my parts have finally been dispatched from Gurmany so I can build up roadbike 2.0 soon.

Did a little presentation to a group of marketing people this morning and got some chocolate as payment so I my day is made.
Two cold days, then seemingly back to March weather.
supposed to hit 62 today, but then again it was not supposed to rain yesterday and it did.. Light work schedule with lots of built is screw off time. Me Likey. Sipping coffee and hanging with the dogs this morning
Morning Monkeys.
Got my lineup for Friday's interview and I feel pretty good about it. Should here back with date/time on #2. After doing some research, #3 might be out. I would rather stay in software rather than do infrastructure. I mean, kubernetes are cool and all (the name alone is funny), it's more infrastructure than software.

Mornin!
Interview #4 today at the "dress casually" place. We shall see, on the surface it might appear to be my last choice but you never know, it could be pretty cool.
On the flip side, still trying to motivate the other employers to get me an offer before I have to make a decision. VP of engineering responded to my thank you note positively last night, so that's a good sign, right?

shouldn't new englanders be used to that shit...it's not like you have a bunch of texas transplants living there...
What percentage of people on the road across this country really know how to drive? What percentage today aren't fucking around with their cell phone or looking in their visor mirror while applying makeup?
you are a master of your domainRan 5 miles before work in the cold wind. I got home to the shitter just in time.
make up....no
cell phone....shut off in car
know how to drive.....only uses left lane to pass
Check out Ontario's distracted driving law. It's quite strict now and headed in the correct direction.. though all the time you see people using their cell phone and whatnot.
Truck drivers here came under a lot of scrutiny here over the last few years for distracted driving. They were causing accidents all over the place and plowing into each other. Literally:
The following crash was I believe partially blamed on a distracted truck driver running into the back of another truck. One of them happened to be a fuel truck. There are trails right next to where this happened and you can still smell the fuel that leaked out into the forest, years later.
Crews struggle to find the dead amid ‘most unbelievable scene’ on Highway 400
Fuel spilling from ruptured tanker trailers ignited into a 'moving fire' that sent motorists running for their lives, police say

I also think part of the problem are the vehicles themselves these days. Some cars have simple things like climate controls and whatnot embedded in their touch screen menus. How is that not distracting compared to moving a physical button or knob?
what blows my mind is when i see people wearing full on over the ear headphones when they're driving.
How's that different from having sound from speakers at insane volume?
and the difference between over ear headphones and assholes driving around witheir stereos turned all the way up is.....neither one can hear shit
Have you tried a nice Indica?Mind running in overdrive. Decisions are hard.
Rule for any car we get is physical climate control and if possible radio controls. Climate control is a minimum though. We walked from a few cars because of it when we were shopping for Wifey.
Here. Work. Ordered new under body plates for Subaru yesterday. I changed the oil over the weekend and one of the panels was gone. I'm assuming it was related to a snow bank. New metal plates from bumper to back of transmission should provide protection from ice chunks and not get torn off going forward.

FWIW, Docker/Kubernetes are hot topics among our engineers and the VP. App engineers / architects, not devops. But, I am assuming as soon as they get comfy, this will be handed over to the infrastructure peoples. Those are hot skills nowadays though.
Yeah, Vermonters are particularly "good" drivers. JBP does not count as he is a trained former Masshole.
was i comparing the two?
Hmmmpff
I had only looked at Docker, I had never ever heard of kubernetes before (felt old). Don't get me started on Elk Stack.

#3 is a weird spot, but it's interesting. It's a company I was introduced to a month after I moved here ('93) because they make electric test equipment and I was an electronics major.
Turns out they built a warehouse, customer management, shipping status tracker app/infrastructure because they could build it how they wanted. Turns out it was so bad ass they got bought just so the parent company could use it.
But its all home built with a small engineering team.
One of my ol' lady's yoga students brought her some Kona beans back from HI. sipping that & reading the news & doing internet stuff.
At my 8:30 meeting taht was supposed to be a contract re-negotiation turned into a me packing up & leaving for 3 mos while they transisition into the new building. -_-
I picked a helluva day to quit sniffing glue.
Now I am going to go buy new running shoes & try & break them in gently.
Skiing mañana. Yay!

Also 4 people listed for a 90 minute interview. Not sure if it is speed dating style, or awkward round table.
i would love to be able to shut the controls off on my steering wheel as i am always hitting them and rarely use them....
I hate those but gives you the opportunity to ask interesting questions and see if their answers indicate a major discord.
In general, across vehicles, controls have evolved to maximum suck. One would hope that they'll evolve sensibly with time, but marketing will probably get in the way.
I dunno - I really like the steering wheel controls on our pickup. Basically audio controls and cruise.
