I had the foresight to +turn off my alarm (which usually tries in vain to wake me at 08:30), but I woke up at 07:00 with a +bit of a headache. I've been having headaches for the last two months, the Doc doesn't quite know +what to make of it, but this headache was perhaps a little bit of a hangover? I took some aspirine +and snoozed until 09:30 or thereabouts, and got up. + +With the warm weather, despite the window open at night, I am a bit hot, and my scalp itches. One +thing that I know helps is a buzzcut, so off I go to put the _tondeuse_ to work. It's always +somewhat of a pleasure for me to know that people pay easily CHF 50,- to get their hair cut, and I +spend all of 4 minutes with a 20 year old trimmer - it's done in no time. After a good shower, I am +ready to start the day! + +In the morning, I take to Fusion360 to design a cable guide of sorts. I love Fusion360 so much - +as with most of this stuff, it has a steep learning curve, but once you're over that initial +investment, drawing anything my mind can think up is a breeze - the object you can see in the +gallery below consists of two sketches with four extrusions and one fillet. That's it! I took a +screenshot of the cross section so you can see what it's trying to do: Yesterday at IKEA we bought a +few hangers, those things that you put on the door and hang your nightgown or robe on, and I drew a +bit of a bracket (see pics in the gallery below). It was fun, and what's more: I got it right on the +first try! I put the printer to work on four of these, and will print another set of four in the +afternoon. + +## Afternoon + +Just as we were preparing a salad and some fried eggs for lunch, the mailman came, yaay! The Mac +Studio that was apparantly damaged in transit and had to be repackaged by Swiss Post. The box was +full of tape on the outside, but the inside was pristine. This is going to be fun - this Mac is +super fast - with an M2 Ultra, 24 cores, 76 GPU cores, 64GB of ram, 2TB of NVME storage, and 10G +network. It can drive up to eight 4K screens with its six TB4 connections, and immediately proves to +be blazingly fast. + +{{< image frame="false" width="5em" float="left" src="/img/init/sidequest.png" alt="The SideQuest logo" >}} +**Side Quest Time**! I get to install all of my apps on this fresh new machine, which I find an +enjoyable activity. Fusion360 runs so much smoother, as does Gimp and video transcoding and Open +Broadcaster Software. The previous Macmini (still Intel based) was struggling with 4K video, but +this one does it with room to spare. I'm gonna like it -- and in the thematic world of _Rick and +Morty_, I decide to call this one _Jessica_. + +I do a little bit after lunch, and then I bike to a datacenter at the Zurich airport to help IP-Max +out. They've been moving out of Equinix datacenters and one of the connections that needs to moved +is a Swisscom CES interconnect. Swisscom has already installed their _CPE_ for this, a Cisco ASR920, +but we still need to hook it up to the IP-Max router. Armed with an XFP, SFP+ and some patch cables +and cleaning pen, I make my way to the facility. It's absolutely gorgeous weather today! Biking +through the _Hardwald_ is refreshing, but out on the road and in the fields with the Sun directly +overhead, it's pretty hot. + +I get to visit one of my favorite routers: `er01.zrh56.ip-max.net`, and quickly make the patch to +find no light coming from Swisscom. Ludo does me a solid and calls the Swisscom hotline, and they +_no shutdown_ their side, and I see link. Great, job well done, and thanks Ludo! All in all I'm out +of the facility within 15 minutes, and make my way back home. Once there, I find another package has +arrived! This time it's 2x100G linecard and optics for the second 100G wave from Zurich to +Frankfurt. Soon, my beloved AS25091 will have a 100G triangle Zurich-Zurich-Frankfurt, and from +there, the obvious next step is to upgrade the Zurich-Geneva links and the Geneva metro to be 100G. +But, one step at a time. I'm uncomfortably excited for Fred and the IP-Max crew. I put the line card +in the (newly very clean!) basement, and start a second batch of _cable guides_ in my trusty rusty +Prusa Mk3. + +## Evening + +At around 17:30 I send Marina a Signal DM to invite her for a nice drink out in the back yard. +Yesterday she had this Mattei, and today I think I'll join her in that drink! After the drinks, we +make our way inside for a spot of dinner - tonight we're eating sautéed spinach with garlic, +creamy mashed potatoes with a dash of cream cheese, and a really nice piece of salmon. + +After dinner, we retire to our family couch position, and Marina Quinn and I watch two episodes of +_Stranger Things_ on Netflix. After the second, Quinn retires further to his bedroom, and I go +downstairs to finish the job installing _Jessica_ and writing my blog post for the day, while +listening to _Nora en Pure_'s purified episode #414 on YouTube. This afternoon while I was biking to +the datacenter, I saw they were building a large stage for Zurich OpenAir, where she will play a +session for 25'000 folks. Maybe I'll treat myself to a ticket :) + +Tomorrow I really should go to the municipal dump, because I have a huge stack of cardboard from the +Kallax cupboards, and the Mac stuff, and the linecard -- I'm such a consumer, and I love it! + +## Pictures of the Day + +{{< gallery-category >}} + {{< gallery-photo fn="2024-07-30/IMG_0423.JPG" caption="Starting the day with a good buzzcut.
