OK what's on his mind right now, and should I be scared?

Do I have anyone in my network here that works for FullStack?

In a chat with an old friend today it came up that I contend this is the single greatest country song ever. The story, the heart, the tone and the message. "It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you, it's what you leave behind you when you go". www.youtube.com/watch?v=33S5...

"Business deals are like farts: if you have to force it, it’s probably shit" I will now being using this phrase over and over in all sorts of context. Sorry, not sorry. Also not lost on me as to how well this applies to at least one recent rejection in my job search.

I've never been one to think of cars as more than machines. That was until I bought my 340i during COVID. It was the first time in my life I bought exactly the car I wanted. I love Raven and have grown very attached to her. Which makes this SUPER painful. Really hoping they'll fix her.

In a win for @ubiquiti.bsky.social, I found out yesterday that my neighbors cut my fiber line while installing a new fence TWO MONTHS AGO. Thanks to the WAN redundancy/load balancing in my Dream Machine, I didn't even notice. Obviously I need to setup some alerting.

Feeling worthless.

Reaching that point in the job search now where the anxiety is becoming a daily struggle. I wish I could say I'm stunned at how poorly companies treat candidates, but I've watched it for years. Still, being on the receiving end of it has been somewhat eye opening.

And there, finally, was the ugly cry I needed to get out of my system. Closing out that small chapter and refocusing my energy now!

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I'll always think of Sam Neill as Capt. Borodin. And I'll never not be sad when his character gets killed. "I would like to have seen Montana"

So yes, after day 200, I've stopped posting #HackerFit. Not because I've stopped working out and watching my diet, but because I'm holding steady at a weight and body image Im happy with. When I have an occasion to wear my goal dress, I'll post one more pic to cap it off 🙂

Well that was soul crushing.

#HackerFit Day 200 Holding steady at 26 pounds lost, very happy with my body weight and appearance, fitness is good. I do have to get myself back in the gym now to get a good lifting regimen going.

Hey everyone, I know a lot of folks are struggling but Jesse and his young family could really use some help. If you're able to offer up any amount at all, I know it would be very helpful. Please consider making a donation if you have the means gofund.me/5d2d03f05

Hi! My name is Jesse. I’ll try to make this as short as possible… Jesse Gallegos needs your support for Support EMT In Need After a Very Tough Couple of Years

#HackerFit update Working to get the consistency back. Definitely lost a bit of fitness having not worked out while I was out of country

A reminder: for many, asking for help is hard. Pay attention to your friends/family. If they're going through something, no matter how sure you are that "they've got this", know that they may not just need help, they may be desperately hoping you offer it without them asking.

#HackerFit update After 9 days off, it was a tough one getting back to it. Average hr above 150 confirms how I felt. Glad to be back at it following my trip.

Land at JFK on an int'l flight with a connection to a domestic flight. After passport control they make you claim checked bag, then walk a few thousand feet (with no interaction with CBP) to "re-check" you bag which is handing it to an airline person who sends it back to baggage handing. WTF??

I must be getting old. More and more I find myself wishing for an only adults allowed area in the airport where I could escape from others' energetic and loud children. No shade meant for anyone, traveling with littles is hard work. I'd just like a quiet place to chill before my flight please.

Thank you all who graciously played along. You did prove my hypothesis. For those in suspense, the vendor is Torq (Agentic SecOps). The tag line was the focus of a marketing blitz at RSA a year or two ago. (Incidentally I really like the capabilities they're building, no shade on them). Torq.io

Solve an argument for me. Without searching it or reading the comments, what cybersecurity vendor uses the claim "SOAR is dead"? If you don't know, please reply that you don't know.

Nice touch sent to my room this morning. Although now I'm debating, do I light the candle and blow it out all by myself or just skip that formality? 🤣

Dinner with a view in Porto tonight.
