The week begins anew

Ah, the week starts back up once again. It's that inexorable, very nearly inevitable, beginning of yet another week of the year.

I sit here, having just gone through the lunch hour, during which I finish up some chores around the home - personal and not so personal - such as taking a quick shower and attempting to get a load of laundry into the wash. That done, more or, less, I sit at a keyboard and contemplate things.

A very near catastrophic situation was avoided this morning in the land of work. Always an excellent way to start the work week, when somebody hectically messages you to inquire as to why they no longer have access to a system they should absolutely have access to. A quick check of the access list and permission settings reveals that, yes, they absolutely should still have that access. A second check using an account that I have control over reveals that there is something else afoot. A second set of eyes on the problem reveals that nothing is awry, which does settle ones nerves at least a bit, even should that not solve the problem. Well, the internet suggests a rebuild of some backend configuration - so we shall do that.

That works. So we blame the application and those that write the application.

Crises avoided.

The kiddos are home today, school is out for this fine Monday. Today I get to listen to them complain to each other, although at least for the time being they are all quietly playing games. Whether that be on the Xbox, Playstation, phones or laptop, it is all good. I know that I should have them all doing homework or studying, but I do know that at least one of them has actually done some school work this morning - and if I am being honest with myself it was not the one that I would have expected. I totally want to encourage that behavior.

Mainly for my own sanity I'll put this here as well. I've made some more changes to this site and I hope that I'm basically done tinkering with it, at least for the foreseeable future. I'm still building with emacs and org, but the source layout is different and hopefully cleaner.

I have mainly given up on the requirement to post from mobile, because it's just easier to use a keyboard. Nor do I really think that my life is so interesting that I feel the desire to post and/or edit whilst I am out and about.

There are some quirks with the way org-publish works, one thing being that I have not found out a good way to have links from one directory work cleanly with (into) another directory. For example, having something link from the notes directory to the posts directory or vice versa. Links within those areas themselves should work just fine, however.

I guess that's not really a major deal breaker though, the notes should be, basically, all self contained little bits and bobs. Plus, it's not like I refer back to other entries a whole heck of a lot.

It would be nice to get back into posting more, practicing the art of writing. Writing is something that is actually enjoyable to me. It helps me to think.

Ah well, until next I put fingers to the keyboard.
