I randomly decided I should put my mining rig on my wireless vlan instead of my main vlan, just in case there is any weird way it can be exploited to gain access to my network. It does not have any ports open to the outside, but figured just in case. So I changed the IP on it then moved the cable over to the other vlan and now I can't connect to it.

KVM consoles are too expensive so I don't have one in my server room, and now I lost access to that machine. I now have to figure out a way to troubleshoot why I can't connect to it. Probably going to have to unrack it and put it on my workbench but that means having to clear everything off my workbench. What a pain. I really need to figure out a way to get a KVM console or jury rig something similar. I don't have room for a crash cart.
 
Arg it gets worse. I forgot that this motherboard has built on video, BUT it requires a specific type of CPU for built on video to actually work and of course with my luck I did not get this type of cpu. I don't know wtf is that about, never seen that before. So I need to actually open up the case and connect to one of the internal GPUs just to get video. Arg I should have just left things alone. It was probably fine on the main vlan.

Maybe this is my cue to just call it quits for mining, as I really don't feel like dealing with this.
 
I was told to add all of my meals to my expense report from my trip to Australia. I left them off because I only worked 2/9 days so I figured I should cover my meals. Now I have to scan my receipts and add them.
 
Bit the bullet and dealt with the rig. Just a pain more than anything having to try to fish wire inside to connect it to one of the GPUs etc but it's back in the rack now and mining. Idiot me set the ip to .24 instead of .23, so this whole time I could have actually SSHed into it, the issue was wrong IP. I figured it was something along the lines of messing up the subnet mask or something like that stopping me from connecting. Then again I had no way of knowing without going to look at the config file so had no choice but to do all this anyway.

Ugh I hate work travel for that. Such a pain in the ass. For small things I do often find it's easier to just pay out of pocket just to reduce the amount of work I have to do later.

It is probably ~$300 in food (over the course of four days...), so I guess I don't really mind all that much. 😀
 
Took NADH at a wrong time.
Cranked my cortisol through the roof. Fried my brain.
Ride is now over. Brain ravaged. Let's see if I can regrow neurons ...
 
Thought I was gonna get to buy a small chainsaw cause my Poulan's been acting up. I was eyeing some nice echo top handles for this fall when I go airborn. Got home today, played with the poulan, and I think it'll straighten out with some run time. Looks like I'll be climbing with that :^(
 
That just made me think, I should invest in an electric chainsaw to do my hedges. I don't really want to mess with gas/oil mixing etc since it's not something I would use often enough but it would be handy. I need to top the rest of my hedges since they're getting so tall and some of those trunks are like 5 inches in diameter. Beyond hedge trimmer territory.
 
And a FWP: I tried to go to home depot's site but did a typo on the URL and it went to some sketch site. I managed to stop it ahead of time but now I wonder what kind of crap it loaded in my machine. I'm running Linux so I *should* be fine, but so much crap can be done through browser now days.

You could look into a good handsaw. I just bought a Silky Zübat, and it's a fantastic saw. Spendy, but it flies through wood, and no batteries...

I haven't had cell reception up here in the Arctic Reception. Sporadic as we went rather close to shore.. but eventually shot up north ... only to encounter lots of ice, perpetual daylight, walruses pooping on ice, and one lone polar bear around 72 deg north...

Chasing a 17 pound cat up & down the stairs of our new apt building to get him back inside the apartment. Thankfully, he understood that jumping out the upstairs hall window wasn’t a good idea.

Steep stairs, chemo yesterday, thank God for beta blockers ..whew! I need to be more careful with our front door
