Slept from ten-thirty to three. Fell back to sleep after five.
Woke up a little late. No time for coffee.
Rain. High of fifty-six.
Work:
- Think about vpn redundancy
Done.
Mostly figured out what how I want it to work, but still need to test.
Twenty minute walk at lunch.
Overcast and cool, but I dodged the rain.
Saw a pair of crows, and half a dozen turkey vultures.
Home:
- Golang study
Done.
I have a better handle on interfaces now.
- Go to bed early
Done. Nine.

> Studying ocellated lizards, Michel Milinkovitch, a professor of genetics and evolution at the University of Geneva, noticed the animals’ scales seemed to behave like a cellular automaton, a rule-based model often used in computer science. The general rule was that green scales tended to have four black neighbors, and black scales tended to have three green neighbors.
> To look for a cellular automaton in ocellated lizards, Dr. Milinkovitch, with Liana Manukyan and Sophie Montandon, then graduate students, collected high-resolution scans of three lizards’ bodies from hatchling stages to adulthood. From this, the researchers inferred a set of rules — a cellular automaton — for how the scales changed color. If a green scale had many green neighbors, there was a high probability it would turn black. If it had no green neighbors, it would stay green.
