Movie night in the village. I am absolutely flying on Mojitos.

I really like the presence of big imposing hills at night. 🇪🇸

When it's hot in the evening my Dad's dog likes to nap on the tiling on the stairwell. He only moves to go to his water bowl or see if we have any snacks to donate.

I am an absolute sucker for the enthusiastic role of computing and a little bit of philosophy and fiction.

Having a look at CFengine, mostly for an academic exercise at this point. I do love this writeup, honestly it's sort of sold me on it already

6 days in finally not thinking about anything but being here. Just me and the bitey bugs. And beer.

Long journey to visit my dad starts with a 2hr delay, but it's nothing really. Work hitting me with stuff as I go out the door, which is a little too common these days.

Soft, dense rain all night. Very restful and we absolutely need it. Been so dry this summer.

I am moaning about LOST (i love it really) GO AWAY PLEASE DON'T LEAVE

You can starve someone to near death, and they can still technically be alive. IT doesn't make it a good idea.

Unfortunately I have one of those bosses that has internalized the 'do more with less' doctrine from leadership and it's becoming an issue. You don't do more with less, you just do less.
