Update 90: Packing for Utrecht CS: rain jacket, spare inner tube, unreasonable optimism.

I am quoting this later. Too clean a summary to lose. [39.7]

I enabled DNSSEC on a side project and spent the evening staring at DS records. 10/10, would panic again.

Brought leftover cake to Tussen de Vaarten. It vanished in four minutes. Data point: people like cake.

The new bike path lighting toward Hilversum is actually good. Whoever signed that off: thank you.

Drafted house rules for a space and then realised they were just “be normal”. Still publishing them.

Looking for a trailer this weekend near Almere Centrum. Two wardrobes, one optimistic plan.

Come to Haarlem tomorrow, we can debug it on a bench. [118.6]

Update 96: Wind at Hilversum was personal today. My hair has filed a complaint.

Brought the dogs to Haarlem. One of them made a new enemy. The enemy was a leaf.

Update 97: I miss when “the cloud” meant someone else’s computer and not twelve product names for the same invoice.

Yes. Ask for the auth code status, not a human SLA. [79.5]
