Minor operations; testing new serving path

Hi all!

I'm doing some minor operational work tonight. It should be transparent, but there's always a chance that something goes wrong. The main thing I'm touching is testing a replacement for Apache2 (our web server software) in one area of the site.

Thank you!

I'm like an iquana

If it gets much colder I think I too, will hibernate. Probably won't fall out of a tree due to not being in one. But this weather is not weather I am equipped for.

When I looked yesterday there was only a ten degree difference between us and Munich, Germany. That should not be the case darn it.

Tomorrow it'll be in the mid sixties for at least a day so hopefully it'll warm up inside our house. We don't have heat. And I'm cold and cranky.

I did however get another cute pair of slipper socks, they have a gray cat on them. The cats won't let us have the electric throw I bought a few years ago and I'm regretting not buying a new one but at that time it seemed we would follow the normal winter pattern of just a day or two of extreme cold followed by sixty degree days. It doesn't predict another forty degree day thankfully this week so hopefully I'll be warm.

I know once the hot season arrives I'll long for these days as I see our power bill each month.

I made some icons played some videogames and otherwise did nothing. This weather is terrible for me accomplishing anything.

How do people in the great frozen North deal with this bullshit for more than a few days?

Snow?!?

It might Snow in Tampa today.

We have a cold front coming in and for the next few hours it's going to be windy with 35 mph gusts that could be as cold as 8 degrees.

Reports this morning is that it could snow.

I hope the people celebrating Gasparilla stay warm! I missed watching the pirate invasion on tv today sadly.

It's a traditional fun event where the pirates "invade" the city and take over and it becomes a mini Mardi gras celebration. It started in 1904. It is always a lot of fun to watch the invasion on tv.

Still can't believe it might snow in Tampa.

(no subject)

Had a mostly happy post but then saw the news. The government (ICE) has murdered another US Citizen.

My heart hurts. This is not okay.

His poor family! And government officials spreading lies when the video shows him unarmed.

A nurse at a VA hospital trying to help someone the thugs had pepper sprayed.

Screams into the void.

Where's the supreme Court? Where's Congress? My Congress critters support him. Rick Scott is one of ours. Rubio was one of ours...

I hope everyone who stayed home and didn't vote is proud of themselves.

You did it.

Let us hope he doesn't get the civil war he's hoping to invite and use to deny elections.

Let us hope we can vote then out and end all this fuckery.

But I will always hope everyone who stayed home steps in a dozen Legos a day and gets food poisoning every time they are traveling in a car and can't find a toilet.

Hope this makes sense I'm so tired I can't see well anymore.
