Sat Mar 31 09:11:14 EDT 2018 Goals: - Notes about cloud-init Done. https://paulgorman.org/technical/cloud-init.txt.html - Laundry Done. Two loads. Vacuumed, watered plants, wiped down kitchen and bathroom counters, washed dishes, paid water bill. Ten-minute walk in the afternoon. Rainy. Listened to the Gypsy Jazz channel of jazzradio.com for a while. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/03/30/nhl-stunner-a-36-year-old-accountant-whos-never-played-pro-stars-in-blackhawks-win/?utm_term=.4993f2d5f3ed > ...the team’s emergency goalie, a 36-year-old accountant who hadn’t played in a high-stakes hockey game in more than 10 years. He played hockey for Western Michigan University from 2002 to 2005 and plays in an amateur league, albeit a high-level one composed of former college and professional players. His venue most of the time is not the Blackhawks’ United Center, with a capacity of 23,000, but Johnny’s Ice House in Chicago’s elite league. > “Among hockey’s great quirks,” as Hockey News explained, “is that it’s the only pro sport with the potential for someone not on the roster to come out of the stands and actually play in the game.” But, “it takes a very rare set of circumstances to open that door.” > Hours before the game, goaltender Anton Forsberg injured himself during a morning practice, according to the Chicago Tribune. Down to one goalie, rookie Collin Delia, the Blackhawks signed Foster as an emergency backup. Delia got hurt. Foster was told to put on his helmet. > Foster was an impenetrable wall, stopping all seven of the shots he faced.... > Despite his newfound fame, Foster said he still has to go back to his day job, where he will trade his Blackhawks jersey for a button-down shirt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG-IGNvfrg8&feature=youtu.be His little shrug after his seventh save is pretty funny. Gah. At some point recently, a bunch of dependencies got messed up on my home workstation. As a side-effect, I think, I was getting a weird error trying to attach VM's to the bridge.o --- **How to fix weird bridge error** ``` --- bava ~ % sudo virt-install --import \ --name=myvm-CentOS-7-x86_64 \ --ram=1024 \ --vcpus=1 \ --network bridge=br0 \ --os-variant rhel7.4 \ --disk ~/libvirt/myvm-CentOS-7-x86_64.qcow2 \ --disk ~/libvirt/cidata.vfat Starting install...
