Old arty farty thing this morning, karaoke this evening. Think mostly free day tomorrow but old neighbour just Whatsapped me about playing Scrabble at her dump.

Got me Windows 11 PC all set up, working great, don't think anything of significance left to do.

In Future Noir, they’ve managed to assemble a cast and crew, and have built the largest set ever (at the time). All they need to do now is film it!

It doesn’t feel very warm tonight. It’s odd that a room temperature that would have had me turning the heating up a couple of months ago now feels pleasantly cool, but tonight is edging towards chilly

Goodnight all

At the station waiting for a train. Decided to turn up to gig3 offices for a change.

Morning all
CBS, etc.
Woke at 4:44, but didn't get up then. Pleasant walk has been had.

Morning denizens

It’s a sunny start, with a few clouds about to make things scenic. Looks like it’ll generally get cloudier though, with rain likely (40-50%) after lunch (assuming I have time for lunch today). It’s 10°C but “feels like” 6°, with the high for the day expected to be 14°, while the barometers are up a little at 1003/1011mB

Today’s the big Tech Awayday event at ClientGov. But the urgency of providing a fix for this data upload problem gives me the perfect excuse not to go means I sadly won’t be able to attend

Morning.

Wednesday.

Dry.

Blue sky in parts.

Wanly sunny.

18.3 deg in here, 19.5 in the kitchen, 16.5 in the leanto.

1010.5 mBar, 29.84 in Hg, 757.9 Torr, 14.656 psi, (up from 1010 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 29th of March 2020 Brillo, BR14, LM, NF, vetran, xogg, and WTFH popped in.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the wan sunshine. Spotting with rain for the final half mile or so. Nice chat with a chap I meet now & again: he's an ex marine.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y <click> The butterfly thing.

Lunch: cold sausage bap (wholemeal) with red sauce

It’s turned gloomy here and been raining quite a bit

Down on the lawn, the bossy crow was wandering around just now, with the male magpie shadowing it a few yards away. The crow tried to assert its dominance by turning and walking a couple of feet towards it, whereat the magpie nonchalantly moved away, maintaining the distance between them but clearly not backing down. So the crow turned round again and decided to act as if the magpie wasn’t there, while the magpie continued to shadow it while acting as if it was just coincidence that they happened to be in the same area of the lawn

At ClientGov, this morning was Show & Tell, and I initially thought there wasn’t much of either I could do. But then I suggested I could talk a bit about the upload bug hunt of the last couple of days, though I knew I couldn’t get too technical as this was mainly people on the management side, most of the devs being at the AwayDay. So I opened various tabs showing the S3 bucket and CloudWatch logs, and filtered the views down to the relevant stuff, and when my turn came I told them how various figures had been corrupted, then took them through the trail I’d followed: here’s the three files uploaded in eight seconds, here’s the background tasks executing, and so on. And they loved it! High praise from all sides, both for my telling of the story and for my persistence in tracking down all these different clues and putting them together. I guess people love a detective story

But with that done, I’ve now got to go and work out how to fix the damn bug. Ho hum

^^^^^^^^^^ the joys of forensic fault analysis.
finding it's the first BIG step to fixing it
