I had been postponing this conversion for years. The old site worked, I didn’t have time, and I was expecting to need like a full day to set up Hugo, download the data, get it to convert, check if things worked. Classic “if it ain’t broke” reasoning while knowing full well it was going to bite me eventually. I had been working with Claude for a week, seeing it handle more and more complex tasks. Then it struck me — could it just do this chore for me? ...

Yesterday I got the key to my new house, something that’s been in the works for 4 or 5 years or so. If you lose count in years how much time you needed to get there once you made the decision to go there, that’s too long. So, working with impossible deadlines I got 1,5-2 days to paint and then I start moving stuff in. Luckily the house is in good shape so I can skip a couple of rooms. And energy to spare because I’m awake at 6 and ready to go. Can’t drive there yet because I have to watch Xam but as soon as he’s heading towards school I’ll be painting. Or cracking my head on what colors to add to the living room and bedroom because this time around I have to make the choice. ...

Nothing quite like a lazy morning where everyone sleeps in. Except for me ofcourse, I’m awake. Good time to read and mess with my site though.

I got beef with women complaining about household chores, not so much as that they aren’t right, but that very few address how to solve the issue. This is a good write up on the problem, though I disagree with the whole “battle” and “family suffering” bit. https://english.emmaclit.com/2017/05/20/you-shouldve-asked/amp/ For those that don ’t want to read, the gist of it, women do A LOT of work. And yes that’s bullshit but there is ZERO effort in this article on the why and how to resolve the issue. So, I’m going to fix that. I’ll use gender neutral writing because all parties need to chip in. ...

I keep getting comments about people not being able to accept my calendar invites because they, “use a different email”. So to help these people out, here are instructions to instruct your gmail calendar to accept these. You only need to do this once. Please note, this guide assumes you are already able to email with this alternative address, if not, after doing this go to “GMail Settings” and “Accounts” and add your email there. ...

Setting expectations is hard enough in long running relationships. But it’s even more tricky when meeting someone new. Asking if there are plans for a long term commitment on the first date might be a bit forward. But wait to long and people start having their own ideas that might not match up. With monogamy it seems a bit easier because there is a known path you can walk. But even there people can have very different ideas. ...

Because, WP-FOAAS

Make me love this kid, make me protect him, raise him, see little jokes. Get me to fucking care! Kill him late in the game when I no longer expect him to die. When done right I will grief and cry, break a little inside. Because after that, I’ll share Kratos his hate, I’ll be him, stopping at nothing to get my revenge. That’s the experience I hope for.

These are my personal guidelines when using chat, I’m putting them in writing to avoid confusion. Some things like ping and afk might look strange to those that missed the IRC age. It’s mostly for one on one chats but they work with group chat’s most of the time if you use common sense. Available at any large retailer near you. To me a chat session is a permanent line between us, there are no goodbye’s just long AFK sessions like goodnight. It’s perfectly fine to suddenly stop in a conversation. It’s still there, if the other party really want’s a reply they can just send a question mark. ...

Unpacking a tar.gz to install something is enough pain, to fully automate this I need the installer to run without asking stupid questions. So after a quick read of the code I found the following switches. ./vmware-install.pl --default EULA_AGREED=yes ISC_COPYRIGHT_SEEN=yes BOOM, hand’s off install. Now to package this stuff with fpm, add the above line with full path to installscript.sh and make package fpm -s dir -t rpm -v 6.0.0 -a x86_64 --after-install installscript.sh /opt/vmware-vsphere-cli-distrib This can be cleaner by adding an uninstall switch
