Wed Jan 11 07:07:14 EST 2017 Slept from ten to five. Work: - Gather material for auditors Some. - Gather more info about mobile maintenance Done. Spent a lot of time talking to a lot of people. - Get Asterisk working in an lxc container No. With mobile maintenance, given that the Yardi app doesn't work, what are our alternatives? What is the problem we want to solve here? Etymology of "negative nelly"? I'm mildly skeptical of the following, but I haven't found anything more authoritative. https://www.quora.com/Where-did-the-phrase-Negative-Nellie-originate > "Old Nell" was a playful nickname for old, worn down horses. A high strung horse became a "Nervous Nellie." The name started to be applied to fearful or nervous people: "You're acting like a nervous Nellie!" and later acquired the connotation of cowardly. > In the early 1920s Sen. Frank Kellog received the nickname "Nervous Nellie" for being the only Republican Senator to support the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles. > In 1966 President Johnson spoke of "Nervous Nellies" to refer to critics of his Vietnam policy, and the phrase caught on. Nervous Nellie acquired the connotation of "naysayer" and gave rise to similar terms like Negative Nellie, Naysayer Nellie, Negative Ned and Negative Nancy. Fifteen minute walk at lunch. Gray, but not cold. Stayed a little late to finish some patch Tuesday reboots. Home: - Add note about top and cgroups Done. - Tidy up apartment a bit Took out the trash, washed dishes, vacuumed. - Update blinky b/c of ssh vulnerability Done. - Start notes about lua Done. https://paulgorman.org/technical/lua.txt Sort of a neat language. I really should go back and look at FreeBSD jails again some time. I have a niggling feeling that the jail management tools I used made jails more complicated rather than less. Twenty minute walk after I got home. It started pouring on me. Thunder and lightning. The vast majority of all the snow we got the other night melted today. Hm.
