Tue Jan 24 08:46:06 EST 2017 Slept from ten-something to seven. Woke briefly around four. High of forty-one today. Chance of rain in the morning. Work: - Order new AC and humidifier for server room Done. - What the heck is up with my Asterisk container? Done. OK, a reboot of the host seems to have fixed the weirdly inconsistent NAT behavior. But it still doesn't work. Fifteen minute walk at lunch. Home: - Finish up metadata editing on music, rip new albums Done. https://sarkos.tumblr.com/post/156280741968/cognitivedissonance-that-last-tweet > If you were part of any punk/hardcore scene in the 80s/90s, you probably laid hands on a Nazi skinhead at least once. > Naze skins showed up, pushed people around, took over the venue and turned everything to shit with bullying, abuse and their Seig Heiling. > In the punk and hardcore scenes I was part of, discourse led to more Nazis showing up and more problems. > Sure enough, Nazi skins showed up and tried to wreck the show.

Twenty-five minute walk after I got home from work. It's cooled off a little. Watched a couple of episodes of Making a Murderer. Breakfast: carrots, yogurt, coffee Lunch: nuts, coffee Dinner: left-over pizza
