# Morning
|
||||
|
||||
You know what? Today there simply _was no morning_! Quinn had to get up at 05:00 to get the 05:22
|
||||
bus to work. I went to bed not too late yesterday, I think around 01:00 or so, but I slept really
|
||||
poorly last night. I also had this weird dream about me visiting some person who had a large yacht
|
||||
but kept it indoors in a huge garage. It didn't make any sense to me, and it was frustrating waking
|
||||
up thinking my dream was somewhat unresolved. I woke up because the mailman dropped off a package
|
||||
and run the doorbell at 09:00 or so -- which luckily for me, Marina accepted. Thanks, Marina! :)
|
||||
|
||||
I feel back asleep and woke up at 11:45. So much for the morning! I walked over to Marina and asked:
|
||||
"Hey, weren't we going to go to Aligro today?" and she said yes, but after lunch please. We do *not*
|
||||
want to get caught up in Aligro when hungry, as we'll come back with way too much sweets and food!
|
||||
_Aligro_ by the way, is a _Costco_ or _Makro_ of sorts; large portions, cheap, and made more for
|
||||
companies and restaurants than individuals and families. But during the pandemic, they opened up for
|
||||
the public so we go there from time to time. Like today!
|
||||
|
||||
# Afternoon
|
||||
|
||||
I made a sandwich with turkey using the fabulous hamburger buns from yesterday. Just before lunch,
|
||||
Marina and I take a look at some schwag that I might get for IPng: lanyards and cotton tote bags,
|
||||
and she thinks having a few flags or banners would be nice. I take a look at
|
||||
[[vistaprint.nl](https://vistaprint.nl/)] as I'll be going to the [[Frys-IX](https://frys-ix.net/)]
|
||||
barbecue in September, and I am planning on bringing some goodies for our members. I quickly discuss
|
||||
some financials with Arend - I'm really looking forward to visiting Jubbega and Frys-IX HQ! I think
|
||||
I'll amke some pins, for both myself as well as for FrysIX. I hope folks like them!
|
||||
|
||||
We then go shopping at about 14:00 or so, and we really take our time. We have a small shopping list
|
||||
with things we need to get -- you know, the stuff that you can only get in particular stores or
|
||||
shops. But we both know the list is gratuitous, and we stock up on candies, red wine and gin, we buy
|
||||
5.5kg (12lbs) of popcorn, and we buy about 12kg (25lbs) of assorted beef, pork and chicken. We'll
|
||||
individually package these in vacuum sealed baggies and freeze them.
|
||||
|
||||
Back home at 16:00, we spent a good hour bagging and vacuum sealing our food. It's a huge stack, and
|
||||
we puzzle a bit making it all fit in the freezer, but Bert (we call our fridge Bert!) has lots of
|
||||
space and Marina places it all in the fridge without too many problems.
|
||||
|
||||
Now I have two things I want to do this afternoon. First, I want to make some pins and order that
|
||||
Schwag to have it delivered to the Netherlands so that I don't have to mess around at the border.
|
||||
The pins are actually more of a Marina thing, as she's a little bit better with the drawing tools
|
||||
and has a template to line them up. I'll make 150 pins in total. I've done it before, once with the
|
||||
Google folks and the P2020 robot and suite logos. Those were popular!
|
||||
|
||||
Secondly, and this is what I choose to spend the rest of the afternoon on, is finish the
|
||||
[[IPng.ch](https://ipng.ch)] website. I started moving it from Jekyll to Hugo yesterday, and while
|
||||
the main structure (layout, CSS and Markdown) are OK, there's a few things I end up doing, including
|
||||
creating a Hugo docker image for Drone (which is super cool, that way every time I `git push` a new
|
||||
set of changees, _Drone_ will automatically build, test and distribute the website to a cluster of
|
||||
NGINX servers. I also futz around a little bit with _Content-Security-Policy_ headers, to allow for
|
||||
my spiffy [[Asciinema](https://asciinema.org/)] screencasts to render directly on the page.
|
||||
|
||||
I publish the [[IPng.ch](http://ipng.ch)] website with Hugo for the first time at 18:15 or so, and
|
||||
I'm very happy with the result!
|
||||
|
||||
# Evening
|
||||
|
||||
For dinner, I help make sticky cubes of tofu with lemon and Sriracha, mungo beansprouts, carrots,
|
||||
bellpeppers, and bokchoi, together with glass noodles (the _ONE_ thing we had on our grocery list
|
||||
for Aligro!). We nom it, and ask Quinn about his first day back at work, which was uneventful and
|
||||
fine. His claim: I was not more tired at 05:00 than I would've been at 11:00, so 👍 from him.
|
||||
|
||||
After dinner, Marina and I take a walk in the forest behind our house. It's really pleasant out, as
|
||||
the sunset rolls in, the skies are heavenly blue and it's very peaceful out. We talk about
|
||||
this-and-that, enjoy the stroll and each others company, and get home at around 20:00 or so. Tonight
|
||||
is what we call _Knutselavond_ in Dutch, or _Arts-n-Crafts Evening_ in English. That typically means
|
||||
we each to our own room / basement and rummage around or work on projects. For me, it's the CSS and
|
||||
Javascript on [[IPng.ch](https://ipng.ch)] website. And of course writing my journal for the day.
|
||||
|
||||
At about 22:00 I'm done for now, the website is up and looks great, and I'll be backporting the CSS
|
||||
and styling to this website as well. I watch a movie downstairs, called "#Like", some thriller movie
|
||||
about a girl that decides to take matters into her own hand. It's OK, not great.
