Fri Mar 6 06:00:01 EST 2020 ======================================== Slept from eleven to six-thirty. Breezy, colder, cloudy. A 50 percent chance of snow showers, possibly mixed with rain in the morning. Highs in the upper 30s. North winds 10 to 15 mph increasing to 15 to 25 mph in the afternoon. Work ---------------------------------------- Scott took the day off again. - Start to finish up Gab upgrade ticket Done. - Review invoices Done. - Work on thin clients Done. - Change backup media Done. Sending desktop notifications from the shell: ``` $ sudo -u htuser DISPLAY=:0.0 XAUTHORITY=/home/your-user/.Xauthority \ DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus \ notify-send --urgency=critical "Notice from the I.T. Dept" "Please call the help desk now!" ``` Fifteen-minute walk at lunch. This morning's light rain turned into light snow. Saw a half-dozen Canada geese struggling to maintain attitude in the wind. Home ---------------------------------------- Washed dishes, vacuumed. https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/emergency-disinfection-drinking-water > Boil water, if you do not have bottled water. Boiling is sufficient to kill pathogenic bacteria, viruses and protozoa (WHO, 2015). Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute. > Disinfect water using household bleach, if you can’t boil water. Only use regular, unscented chlorine bleach products that are suitable for disinfection and sanitization as indicated on the label. The label may say that the active ingredient contains 6 or 8.25% of sodium hypochlorite. Do not use scented, color safe, or bleaches with added cleaners. 8 drops of 6% bleach, or 6 drops of 8.25% bleach, to each gallon of water. Double the amount of bleach if the water is cloudy, colored, or very cold. > Locate a fresh liquid chlorine bleach or liquid chlorine bleach that is stored at room temperatures for less than one year. > Stir and let stand for 30 minutes. The water should have a slight chlorine odor. If it doesn’t, repeat the dosage and let stand for another 15 minutes before use. > Disinfection does not work as well when water is cloudy or colored. If water is cloudy, let it settle. Then filter the water through a clean cloth, paper towel, or coffee filter. Watched the first season of I Am Not OK With This on Netflix.
