Slept from eleven to seven, although the guy with the loud idling car and snow plows started disturbing my sleep around five.
Looks like we got two or three inches of snow overnight.
High of forty-two today. Snow and freezing rain decreasing in the afternoon and evening.
Work:
- Tie up loose end of Raspberry Pi thin client work (save image, update wiki, etc.)
Done.
- Start patch Tuesday/Wednesday ticket
Done.
- Gather information relating to mobile work orders
Some.
- Gather material for auditors
No.
Damn, that commute was slow and sloppy, but I'm not the only one late for work this morning.
Despite numerous people on the internet claiming that RFC 2068 says "webmaster@domain" is required, the RFC doesn't say that.
Huh. I actually really like the Gnome nautilus file manager.
% cat ~/bin/fm
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/nautilus $PWD 2>/dev/null &
Fifteen minute walk at lunch. Not cold, but unpleasantly wet and treacherously icy.
Hmm. The lua install size is tiny. Nice.

Home:
- What's up with blinky's wifi?
Weird. Blinky stopped routing traffic for wifi clients were connected when the cable modem went down on Sunday night.
Clients that were not connected at that time worked fine.
tcpdump showed two-way communication with the outside world, but the clients didn't see it.
The clients could dhcp/ping/dns to blinky just fine.
Odd. I didn't have time to look into it too deeply before work. A reboot of blinky fixed it.
- Schedule oil change
Done.
Thursday at 11 AM.
Two recalls also: spare tire pressure adjustment, inspection of adjustment coolant.
- Go to be a little early
Eh. Ten.

> Most of the important archaeological sites in Central America were “discovered” by archaeologists who, in fact, didn’t discover them at all but were led to the ruins by local people. I’ve known several Maya archaeologists who routinely started fieldwork in a new area by heading into a dive bar and hoisting beers with the locals while listening to various bullshitters spin tales about ruins they’d seen in the jungle; once in a while, a story would turn out to be true. But, because these sites were long known to local people, they had invariably been disturbed, if not badly looted.
> The revelation of an ancient city in a valley in the Mosquitia mountains, of Honduras, one of the last scientifically unexplored regions on Earth, was a different story. This was the first time a large archaeological site had been discovered in a purely speculative search using a technology called LIDAR
> We climbed a steep embankment and entered the rain forest through a dark hole freshly cut into the jungle, emerging in a gloomy forest, with trees rising like giant cathedral columns into the canopy. Their trunks, ten to fifteen feet in diameter, were braced with massive buttresses and knees. Many were wreathed in strangler figs, called matapalos, or tree killers.” The air carried a heady scent of earth, spice, and rotten decay. As I wrote in National Geographic magazine, later that year, there was no camp waiting for us; we each had to slash out our own personal clearing with a machete. Purring jaguars prowled about our tents at night along with other unseen beasts. We encountered deadly fer-de-lance snakes almost every day.
> On the third day, we stumbled over a cache of objects at the base of the pyramid that would prove to be of singular importance. As we were strolling past a leafy hollow in the drenching rain, a team member spied, peeking from the leaves, the carved head of a snarling jaguar. A shout went up and everyone crowded in to see. Just poking out of the ground were the tops of dozens of stone sculptures. The objects took shape in the forest twilight: vessels with carved rims; thrones decorated with the heads of half-animal, half-human deities; bowls; and effigies. They were all almost entirely buried, with only the tops visible, like stone icebergs.
