Decided to watch HBO's The Menu. Not half bad. I thought it was very much in the same territory as White Lotus but it avoided the soapy elements of that show. Plus it's a lot darker.

Almost 75F here. Girls in summer dresses, shirtless lads playing volleyball. Feels like I've been teleported to May.

The boy and I five years ago indulging his train obsession.

Discovered windows Firewall outputs its IPv4 permitted networks in full decimal notation, but it accepts them in CIDR. This has fooled our config manager as it considers this a difference and so re-applies the rule. Strange little things you discover in the logs.

One year ago today I was on my way to Spain via Paris. Can't believe how the time goes so fast.

Unseasonably warm evening the other day when out with the dog. Felt like late September.

Deer sauntering about my garden without a care in the world. The dog is fast asleep next to me.

I am not having a good day with proprietary software.

It took me using Gmail for work to really make me start to hate it

Weird PowerShell incantations, fighting with authentication, why is it so complicated?
