My new social media home. Tooting my musical horn, Mac Admin axe, and probably some curling and football (Canadian and Australian) talk as well.

If you need an auto body shop in , I have had great success with Carstar McKnight. My 2006 Corolla hasn’t looked this good in a decade.

Just finished watching the season opener for Pretty Hard Cases. All the things I love about this show wrapped into one episode. It also did a masterful job of reminding us about the dynamics amongst all the players without having to do a recap off the top.

TFW your 1.5 year old dog’s diagnosis of IBD is confirmed. Strangely, there is some relief in that knowledge.

My Friday morning revelation: when I write blog posts for , my style is heavily influenced by the print and online publications from the 1990s and 2000s, particularly TidBITS. There is always something about the journey I took in what I write (see today’s article from Adam Engst for a prime example: tidbits.com/2023/01/05/use-liv).

In the sequel to the post I wrote about using to deliver payloads for , I discuss:

• using what Outset calls a Login-Once Override to force Outset to run an updated item on next login, and
• adding a postinstall script to your AutoPkg recipe so that you have a compact, all-in-one solution.

COVID 19 Alberta Data

Here’s a not-so-fun fact: with 12 days yet to report, 2022 had 279 days where the daily hospitalization count was over 800 people. In 2021, it was 52; in 2020, it was 12 (the last 12 days of the year).

279 - 52 - 12. Tell me again that COVID is over.

My last blog post of the year is a deep dive into how I use an AutoPkg recipe to package up scripts that I want Outset to run (for example, to set a default configuration for the users in my computer labs):

I’m still reading my feed for now (at least sometimes). I have never seen more system failures with that platform as I have seen in the last few weeks. Tonight, it wouldn’t even load my timeline. Happy to have moved my activity here.
