Wed Dec 6 09:00:43 EST 2017 Slept from ten-thirty to six-thirty without waking. High of thirty-seven today. Breezy. Small chance of flurries this afternoon. Work: - Finish SSL certs and 301's for old domains Done. - Check on Streamline server at Hazel Park Done. The hardware looks unhealthy. I briefed Julie about it. - Work on MECS No. Twenty-minute walk at lunch. Cool but sunny. I like my new coffee mug better than the one that broke. Reminds me of the Buddhist koan about the broken cup: https://kottke.org/15/04/the-glass-is-already-broken > “You see this goblet?” asks Achaan Chaa, the Thai meditation master. “For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.” Home: - Work on blog Done. Lunch: coffee, Thai Dinner: carrots, spinach, chips
