Weeknote #22 (20250216-20250222)
meta
I dunno, it was just, like, kinda a week. (And, of course, the omnishambles continues)
did
- Sunday afternoon was the Ratchet Brewery Pit Crew party, which was fun
- At work this week, when I wasn’t helping with 2025 goal-setting discussion, I helped publish a blog post on some recently add new analyses
- Saturday morning, I ended up breaking the Pi-hole on the local network when an upgrade went sideways — figured out the problem eventually, but not a great way to spend a weekend morning
exercise & shoulder recovery
- Monday I lifted (shoulder stuff + Bulgarian split squats (gross))
- Tuesday was my second PT appointment — new exercises, whee
- I also took a 3.7 mile walk (~70 minutes) on Tuesday
- Wednesday, I lifted again (shoulder stuff + deadlifts 💪)
- Thursday morning, my shoulder was pretty unhappy
- Thursday afternoon, got out for a 2.7 mile walk (~55 minutes)
- Friday, I saw the orthopod for the first time; he ordered an MRI (surprise!), and fortunately, KP had an open MRI appointment later in the day, so I got that taken care of
- Also lifted on Friday (shoulder stuff + bicep curls and Bulgarian split squats (still gross))

8 Million Requests Later, We Made The SolarWinds Supply Chain Attack Look Amateur
SOOOO many quotable bits in this article…
As a final thought - as an industry, we spend a lot of time trying to solve issues like “securing the supply chain” in as many complex ways as possible and still completely fail to cover the easy things, like ‘make sure you don’t take candy from strangers’.

Almost every time I go into my local, I pour myself a glass of water — which involves looking at the pile of glasses and deciding which one to select, which I do based on how pleasing the resulting arrangement will be
looking forward to
