It's no secret that I've been struggling, and my therapist said I need to find things to keep me busy, so I created the @nprofile1q... Artemis II dashboard.

I reverse-engineered the Unity Engine powering the NASA AROW visualization and found an absolute treasure trove of data to display.

Little did I expect that it's now being seen by anywhere from 200 to 600 people at any given time with 130,000 people having looked at it in the last 24 hours. People are even building projects around my API.

Yesterday, I received a message on LinkedIn from someone working in Mission Control in Houston... and they're using my dashboard! He even sent me a photo, but I can't share it until after the crew has splashed down.

Mind blown, and an absolute pick-me-up. The best part? It's being served from my basement.

If you watch anything today, watch this.

Indigenous leaders speak their mind from the gallery after the UCP (now known as the Separatist Conservative Party) shot down an emergency debate on Canadian unity.

So now the Oilers have Connor McDavid, Connor Ingram, Connor Ungar, and Connor Murphy.

If we can get one more Connor, that would give us five Connors, which means we can then redeem for a free Connor!

So - I started work on moving our big database off of the cloud at around 11PM MST. It took some time to pull down that 450GB database, and it took a little longer than expected to restore that backup into our new database. As a result, our maintenance window was extended by three hours.

Once restored, we worked through some performance issues. This was expected as while we can test lots of things in a vacuum, sometimes without the real world load it's tough to know what to expect.

Once those performance tweaks were made, I saw some immediate improvement and we're now back and even better than before.

We're still working through the backlog of activity from the fediverse that we missed while we were down. It will probably take a few hours to catch up, so you'll see statuses from an hour or so ago popping up late. We're moving in the positive direction on this!

I've been looking forward to writing this for a long time: WE ARE FINALLY COMPLETELY OFF THE CLOUD. 🥳

Here’s something I hadn’t considered before…

We see oil derricks and pump jacks all over the province, with hostile gravel and unfertile soil all around them… but when you see solar panels and wind turbines you see houses with lawns, gardens, pastures, and fields all around them.

I wonder why no one ever chooses to live under pump jacks?
