I took my kid to the park and we met a lovely family who is new to the neighbourhood. We had a great conversation while our kids played together. We maintained appropriate social distance for a coronavirus world, and the social interaction has improved my mood.
If we are all going into quarantine - and potentially seeing reduced personal income - budgeting becomes even more important. I recommend YNAB - I’ve been a happy paying customer for years. 💵
If we arranged a global agreement whereby the entire world entered isolation for two weeks, essentially pausing everything, would that eliminate the virus and minimise the economic impact?
I’ve draped nine towels around my study. It sounds so much nicer in here now. I’m sure the appearance will not gain approval from my wife, however.
Given societal concerns about COVID-19, I’ve turned to offering people I had scheduled face-to-face meetings with the option to meet via video conference instead.
Should I be more worried about COVID-19 than I am? I can’t help but think about statistically likelihoods and the probability still seems low compared with more mundane disasters. Also, I lived through a bout of swine flu which might be giving me false confidence in my immune system.
February Photoblogging Challenge, Day 23: Station. Going back in time for this one. A younger me excited to be riding the trains of Paris.
I’ve achieved the impossible. I have migrated my wife from Gmail to Fastmail.
February Photoblogging Challenge, Day 18: Space. The storage space I had on my NAS is not looking good.
One drive in my NAS reported SMART errors. I replace it. While rebuilding the RAID array with the new disk in place I’m notified of major errors on another disk. What are the odds? Will the RAID array be able to rebuild successfully? It’s currently at 41%. 😥

“Boeing has ordered inspections of its entire fleet of grounded 737 Max planes after it found debris in the fuel tanks of some of the aircraft, in the latest setback for the US plane-maker”
Boeing seems to have forgotten the key tenets of lean manufacturing, especially the part about fixing problems at the source and not passing faults up the chain.
It used to be said that, “if it’s not Boeing, I’m not going”. Nowadays, I feel more comfortable with Airbus.
