I had a WTF moment when I looked at my medication Peltier cooler a few minutes ago, and it said "35.6". It's switched to heating? Ruined my meds?
No, I just had to put on my reading glasses to see the ridiculously tiny "°F" indicator. It had somehow gotten switched.
I am a bit disappointed in it in general. Most of the time it holds 2.0⁰C (according to its display) at ambient of 15 to 30⁰C, but occasionally for no obvious reason it goes up to around 8⁰C, then cools back down.

Wow, I'm wildly popular today! I got three dinner invitations from three different friends. I was sad to have to turn down two of them.
My average received dinner invitations per day is perhaps around 0.25. Scheduling conflicts aren't that common.

Around 2010, I tried to write a compiler for an obscure programming language, in C++, using flex and bison for lexical and syntactical anslysis, and LLVM, via its C++ API, for code generation. I was able to get LLVM to JIT code into memory, but I wasn't able to get it to work for non-JIT creation of an object file. I spent a lot of time on it, and eventually got too frustrated and abandoned my project.

A few years ago I contacted Apple support about an issue with a possible compromise of my AppleID. They resolved it by saying I had violated their terms and conditions, and permanently banned both my AppleID and my email address.
I have some old Apple devices that are permanently bricked now, because every time they asked me to verify my AppleID, I cancelled. Do that too many times, and they brick the device.

Got a new COVID vaccination yesterday. W00t!

I need a snail-phone.

A friend recently asked me to help him with problems with two of his computers, one running Windows 7, and one running Windows 10. Windows isn't really my forte. I visited him on Friday, and succeeded at making the Windows 10 system worse. I went back today, and got the Windows 7 machine straightened out.

I'm trying to decide on a CMS for a new web site. It might have a blog-like section, but won't be primarily a blog, so I don't think I want to use Wordpress. On the other hand, frameworks like Flask seem too low-level. I want some reasonable publishing right out of the box.
I very much prefer Python over PHP or JavaScript.

I've somewhat been wanting to replace my Ubiquiti Edgerouter 4, which is the router between my 1G fiber and my internal network. It still works fine, and does full line-rate routing, including PPPoE encapsulation and VLAN tagging. The problem is that Ubiquity stopped supporting it about three years ago. I've considered using a spare 1U Xeon server, which I believe can meet the required performance in software, but it consumes around 200W.

The Intel NUC I use for my away-from-home-theater has failed. After power-up, it spends a lot of time with the NUC logo on screen, then shows a message that POST failed, and to press Y to enter setup. However, it doesn't seem to recognize a keyboard.
I'm taking a break for dinner, but when I get home, I'll try removing the M.SSD, and reseating and/or rearranging DIMMs.
I think it's a NUC8i5 or 8i7.
I'm still irritated that Intel sold off the NUC line. Asus only continued the gamer NUCs
