Slept from ten-thirty to seven.
Woke briefly around one-thirty.

High of thirty-seven and mostly sunny today.

Work:

  Done.

Twenty-minute walk at lunch.
Pleasant weather.
Saw rabbit tracks in the melting snow, and heard and saw a cheery scarlet tanager.

> Outside of sectors with unusual regulatory requirements or atypical workloads, running services in the cloud is the norm for new businesses. It's the direction existing businesses are headed in if execs are trying to avoid relying on large headcounts of increasingly hard-to-hire specialists to implement and maintain them. The continued slow fall of cloud pricing also makes the bean counters giddy with anticipation. It's easy to justify cloud services even if they currently cost a little more than on premise solutions. When that's the default, any locally running service is an exception that needs to be justified.
> For better or worse, we're headed in the direction where the office network isn't considered any different than the coffee shop guest network. The only exception will be the occasional open access printer or misconfigured IoT device.

> I eat the same 3 meals a day, 5-6 days a week. I spent a couple years refining what meals give me the nutrition I need, with enough energy to code, and help me keep weight off. When I stop this routine, I put on weight fast, so I try to keep jobs that let me work from home and keep my routine. I will meal-prep 4 days at a time, consume those 4 days worth of meals, then have a day where I take my wife out to lunch, buy the groceries for the next 4 days, and skip dinner.
> Breakfast - 2 eggs, scrambled with generous amounts of mushrooms and spinach, and a little cheese tossed in.
> Lunch - Veggie mix that I chop up all together every few days - green peppers, pasilla peppers, green onion, yellow onions, eggplant, jicama, cauliflower, and whatever other root veggies looked good at the store - turnips, rutabagas, and such things. I stir-fry them with lime juice, tomato paste, fish sauce, turmeric, coriander, ginger, and cayenne pepper. At the end, I add a little coconut milk, and it ends up being a decent approximation of a red curry.
> Dinner - baked chicken wings with some hot sauce.
