Tue Mar 28 07:36:44 EDT 2017 Slept from nine-thirty to five-thirty without waking. Cloudy today. High of fifty-two. Read chapter of Three Musketeers after I woke up. Work: - Schedule another Comcast after-hours tech Done. Wednesday 5-9 PM. Also acquired keys for PW. - Golang MySQL Done. If (as seems to be the default, at lease on Debian) plugin is set to "unix_socket", we must be root/sudo in order to `mysql -uroot -p`. Otherwise, even with the correct password, we only get "ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'". Setting "plugin" to an empty value changes this, if we want to: `update user set plugin='' where user='root';`. https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/unix_socket-authentication-plugin/ MariaDB [mysql]> select host, user, password,plugin from user; +-----------+------+-------------------------------------------+-------------+ | host | user | password | plugin | +-----------+------+-------------------------------------------+-------------+ | localhost | root | *4A82FDF1D80AA7470BA2E17FEEFD5AE3D8D3B762 | unix_socket | +-----------+------+-------------------------------------------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Thirty minute walk at lunch. Overcast. Cooler than yesterday, but not too bad. Saw a crow, a turkey vulture, a blue jay, tons of robins, and heard a woodpecker. I think I inhaled a gnat. Home: - Laundry Done. Two loads! - Buy gas Done. And a few groceries. Watched episodes of Samurai Gourmet. Breakfast: carrots, spinach, yogurt, coffee Lunch: nuts Dinner: chicken breast, coleslaw, buscuit
