I&#8217;m altogether not looking forward to what this has turned into when we get to Santa Fe County. In like a lion, out like a lamb? Not quite. The fog pattern is an unusual one, I&#8217;ve got what I estimate to be 15 miles of visibility except for Albuquerque which looks to be positively covered in fog, a cloud ending abruptly at the foothills of Sandia Peak and about a thousand feet tall. It looks for all the world like someone poured a giant bucket of dry ice on the city.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/danieltharp.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0242-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-544\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-544\" src=\"http:\/\/danieltharp.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0242-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0242\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danieltharp.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0242-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danieltharp.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0242-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/danieltharp.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0242-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/danieltharp.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0244.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-540\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-540 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/danieltharp.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0244-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0244\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danieltharp.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0244-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/danieltharp.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0244-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/danieltharp.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0244-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m mostly at peace going into today, I busted my ass yesterday and today is <a href=\"http:\/\/isitreadonlyfriday.com\">Read-Only Friday<\/a>. I&#8217;m not looking to be a hero today, being a hero is not making anyone work this weekend. I can work in the lab, I can do documentation, I can follow up on quotes, I can do my weekly review, I can plan new security initiatives, there&#8217;s a lot of stuff to be done that doesn&#8217;t involve poking production systems.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"590\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yR3CVrt55dI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m surprisingly awake today. I think it&#8217;s a combination of &#8220;yay friday&#8221;, realizing I had slept in and had to rush, and more upbeat music. I think I&#8217;ll start doing this a little more often, the embedding of songs as I&#8217;m listening to them. Last.fm only updates when I get home and run iTunes, which isn&#8217;t terribly often, and I like the look of them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m considering a redesign of the blog, nothing major, but widening the main column a bit, and making it work better on mobile. The latter is trivial thanks to Jetpack, the former will need a little elbow grease. I bet I&#8217;ll figure it out though.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve started using a USB mobile hotspot, and sometimes it&#8217;s more distraction than anything. The signal just isn&#8217;t great out here, particularly when you&#8217;re rolling through uninhabited high desert. And when I decide that I want to do something online on the train, if it&#8217;s not posting these blogs, it&#8217;s something complex. Case in point, I decided I needed ffmpeg to rip the youtube video above because I forgot to put the song on my phone, and rather than wait half an hour to get to the office I&#8217;d rather have it now&#8230;and then wait half an hour to get good enough signal to finish a 26MB download.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re rolling through Santa Fe proper now. Snow fucking everywhere. Fuuuuuuck this. Glad I brought my ski jacket. And it&#8217;s still snowing! This is crap. Diana would say it&#8217;s cute and picturesque. I say it&#8217;s horseshit.<\/p>\n<p>See you on the other side of Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a thoroughly nasty rain\/mist\/drizzle combo outside, a weather pattern more suited to Kentucky teenage depression in October than April in the desert.
