Slept from eleven-something to around seven.
Mostly sunny. High of ninety.
Goals:
Work:
- Why did nostromo restart?!
Done.
Solved, eventually.
A certain sysadmin copped to accidentally doing ctrl-alt-del on the console.
I should probably disable that.
Edit /etc/inittab:
# What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed.
# ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/bin/echo "CTRL-ALT-DEL is disabled"
And:
--- nostromo # init q
I guess on a systemd box, we'd have to make `/lib/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target` a symlin to `/dev/null`, and run `systemctl daemon-reload`.
- MS Office license
Done.
- Conference call with Yardi
Done.
Twenty-five minute walk at lunch. Humid. Not too bad when the sun went behind the clouds, but otherwise hot. Crickets and cicadas heard. Saw a turkey vulture.
Yvonne called. Trip to the doctor went reasonably well. She got him a script for anti-depressants. Good.
Home:
- Review https://www.vi-improved.org/recommendations/
No.
- Download PDF of Bhargava Algorithms book
Done.
- Think about monster design, particularly damage
Done, a bit.

Mom called. She called dad today. She spoke with him briefly, and had a long, civil conversation with Yvonne.
Dusted, vacuumed and washed dishes.
Holy, crap. How did I not know the mode of Readline can be set in `~/.inputrc`:
set editing-mode vi
It would be nice to have a visual indicator of when I'm in insert mode or command mode....
