I had heard of this switch +before, but it never made it to the top of my nerd list. However, the deal was pretty sweet, and the +switch ie not terrible, judging by the [[STH +Review](https://www.servethehome.com/inside-a-celestica-seastone-dx010-32x-100gbe-switch/)]. So on +Telegram, a few of us decided that we'd like to participate. + +This morning just before lunch, a friendly UPS driver rocked up to my frontdoor and delivered six +switches; th`ese are 32x100G switches that are ONIE capable, and run SONiC, although I've heard that +Cumulus and perhaps others may run on it too. I schlepped the boxes downstairs while Mairna was out +for lunch with her buddy Jen. + +After making some bastardized ramen with leftover _Yolein_ tomato soup, which was delicious by the +way, I started with the main task of the afternoon: checking to see if the replacement 59mm stamp +from BadgeMatic works. You see, we tried and tried, but could not get the stamp Marina bought to +work - we had a call with Anja of BadgeMatic, who is awesome and super friendly, she sent us a +replacement part. Good news, it worked! + +I want to get those switches out of the way, so I take them downstairs and rack them. Three of them +are actually for my buddy Sandro, who on Telegram approves of me taking them out of their box for a +photo shoot. I open one up, and take plenty of pics, and then hang up the switches in IPng's lab: +these are six switches, each with 32x100G ports. I take pause for a second, as I have just racked an +additional 19.2Tbps of switch port capacity in my lab. That's awe inspiring! + +Once Marina got home we took a closer look at the stamp, which she approves also, so I am officially +off to the races. However, there was an issue with the (new) Cameo 5, which was placing its cuts +_off_ by a fair amount, on the X axis (the short side of the A4 paper). I scoured the Internetz a +little bit, and eventually bumped into a post from somebody on Reddit who said that they only had it +in the afternoon, not in the morning, and mostly only on sunny days. I thought they were cray-cray +at first, but then some engineer explained that it could be that there are shadows being cast by the +Sun, which may put off the sensor that reads the fiducials, called _Registration Marks_ in +Silhouette. I do a test-cut and I literally see a shadow being cast onto the paper; so I managed to +solve the issue by making the fiducials 1.0mm wide and then closing the Cameo's lid while it scans +for them. Works a treat, neat! + +At this point I'm reasonably committed, and ask Marina if she wants to play along. She is having a +day of it, reminding me of my terrible luck yesterday. She printed a postage stamp for Robbie's +package, which cost CHF 37,- but it printed a tracking number with all 0's and a big watermark +**TEST** on the webstamp. The postoffice rejected it, and she has been mucking about going from +person to person to try to rectify. She is emitting some fume from the ears, and I can't help, so I +just let her be. + +Meanwhile, my work is going swimmingly: I end up doing half of the stamps for Frys-IX, and printing +and cutting the other half. Of all 15x6pcs, exactly zero of them fail. Great success!!1 and I get to +play with the electro static mat for the cutter, which is an absolute blessing. At some point, +Marina signals success on the phone with the post office, and they will refund her the first +postage. "I require a drink", and I more than happily oblige. + +After dinner, Quinn says there's a few more extra _buildings_ in the [[Cookie +Clicker](https://www.cookieclicker.com/)], which is a thing. It became clear to me that this game +was written by some tech-nerd-folks who ate mushrooms, got high, and never came down from that high. +All you do is click cookies. If you click cookies long enough, you can get rewards. Quinn has been +playing it for so long, that every time he clicks the cookie, 1.7 Trillion (yes, _Trillion!_) new +cookies are generated. He has so many powerups -- and shows me his latest one, called the +_Javascript console_; each one of which generates 16T cookies per second. The by-line for this +_building_ is "Creates cookies from the very code this game was written in.". As I said, the authors +of the game are perpetually high. + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-08-20/IMG_0729.JPG" caption="UPS came!
