NAS to see you!
After too many years, I’m finally building myself a NAS: network-attached storage, a device for backing up files, photos, and all the data that is otherwise in the cloud. Say goodbye, FANGs, I’m going self-hosted.
The weekend is here, finally.
We finished work a little early tonight to take a quick spin to Knox – we completed our cutlery set, and Dee got some cupcake baking trays, whilst I splashed out on some running gear. The guy in the Mountain Designs shop had even heard of the ToughMudder course!
Two more months of training for me, then: I’m nowhere near ready yet but I can already see an improvement, and I’m totally psyched about doing it! We’re going to head down to Phillip Island on the Friday (run is on Saturday morning) with my two team-mates, maybe stay ’til Sunday to make a weekend of it – a muddy, freezing, exhausting weekend!
Tomorrow we might have a friend or two over for a barbeque lunch I reckon. Saturday is my Cheaturday – a day to refueling on carbs and eating/drinking those things I’ve denied myself during the week – so at the very least I will have some chocolate and beer. Probably not at the same time.
Plans for the weekend?

Whilst Dee and Jules play videogames downstairs, I sit in a beanbag in my makerspace and contemplate the various hardware projects that I would like to complete over the next couple of years.
I guess I should update the ‘blog?1 Not an easy thing to do these days, since even finding the time to do something as self-indulgent as public journaling probably just means there’s something else I could be doing instead, but maybe it’s an experiment I would like to continue?
