Slept from eleven to seven.

High of fifty-four and sunny today.

Stopped at Starbucks on my way in to work.

Work:
- Follow-up with Roger about FL accounting data
  Done.
- Remember to change backup cartridge
  Done.

Scott decided to take to day off.

Fifteen-minute walk at lunch.
Saw a turkey vulture, and the thin crescent moon.
Warm enough to walk in my t-shirt.

Home:
- Play with a D&D thing

> I noticed a lot of pensioner-volunteers just passing time, helping tourists find their way. Sometimes they also help directing traffic in and out of parking lots or construction sites. There are plenty of caretakers and _minders_ of all things.
> In Tokyo, everything seems to have a face. I'm a huge fan of character design, smiley faces and just putting faces on objects in general. In this sense, Tokyo was a paradise right up my alley, by far the best signage and graphics I've seen anywhere. I don't know where it comes from, but I'd guess a tendency of humanizing and personifying objects might stem from earlier animist traditions and religions. Pretending - or acting - as if everything had personhood feels strangely primal and makes you care more about your surroundings.

> This trick is applicable to more than the 127.0.0.1/8 block. To treat the whole range of 192.0.2.0/24 as assigned locally, run:
>> ip route add local 192.0.2.0/24 dev lo

Oh, the iptables `nth` mode is very cool too.
Simulate packet loss:

	# iptables -t filter -I INPUT --destination 127.0.11.0/24 -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request --match statistic --mode nth --every 10 --packet 0 -j DROP
