Fri Sep 16 07:24:44 EDT 2016 Slept from around eleven to seven without waking. High of seventy-eight and mostly sunny today. Goals: Work: - Update hamish ticket about yesterday's exploits at Hazel Park Done. - Add new hamish IP to Nagios Done. - Come up with a tolerable .bashrc Done. http://superuser.com/questions/288714/bash-autocomplete-like-zsh Both: bind 'set show-all-if-ambiguous on' bind 'TAB:menu-complete' Twenty minute walk at lunch. It's nice out. Not excessively hot. Saw a couple of seagulls, a couple of little white butterflies, several robins, a little bright yellow butterfly, a monarch butterfly, and a large woodchuck. Home: - Set up Unbound blacklist update cron job on blinky Done. I had, but the job had a problem: /home/paulgorman/bin/make_dns_blacklist.sh: unbound-control: not found Fixed that to use an absolute path. - Dinner at dad's Done. Picked up ham and assorted sides on the way home from work, and took them to dad's as dinner. Kate and Isla and Yvonne were there. Ryan had to work. Dad. Last week, he could barely open his eyes. Tonight, he could even open his eyes or speak. Yvonne says he's not eating even the tiny amounts he was a few days ago. Randy and Cheryl Bosak dropped by for a little while. Yvonne says that Robert and J.R. visited yesterday. Spent most of the evening brainstorming baby names with Kate. Winners: - Zeuxippe Allewella (the Greek naiad Zeuxippe, a thematic play on the surname Waters, and a Welsh name slightly modified to be a palindrome) or possibly Zeuxippa Allewella Publia. Tempting to throw "Walla Walla" on there as well, but that might be too much. - Petra Dactylla - Stilbe Rowan (not a joke, although in the neighborhood of a pun) Spent a few minutes looking at the full moon with Kate and Isla. Rigorous debate about the "made of cheese" theory. Cried a little during the drive home. I hope dad's not suffering. Twenty minute walk after I got home. Crickets. Witnessed the neighbor lady skulking around the bushes, wearing a head lamp; she explained she was feeding the bunnies. Breakfast: carrots, mixed, green, yogurt, coffee with half-and-half Mid-morning snack: an apple Lunch: nuts Dinner: smoked had, potato salad, broccoli salad
