Came through the storm just fine aside from being woken up at 2:30 and 4:30. Cats are fine, in fact Sammi is back to her old self or nearly so (she hasn't been too hungry since the scan).
Just about to go for a dental appointment - wish me luck with the drive!

There's a game called "my tamagotchi forever" on ios and Android. Huge nostalgia hit!
Things were ok overnight? Hopefully we donβt get hit by it after saying that.

Oh dear lord, just come back in from my outside duty.
The wind chill is crazy out there, I'd freeze first before being blown away out there today.
I swear it was just cutting through all the clothes I was wearing today.
Sun was out on my way to work but had 3 layers on including a friggin ski jacket like it was the depths of winter again.
it wasn't much fun, I was out there for about an hour and I definitely felt it with multiple layers, a scarf around my face and a beanie as well.
Just had to go down to our loading dock to pick up an equipment delivery and can no longer feel my hands :|

So I noticed a company had put up a poorly redacted screenshot of a customer order, so basically they just gave away a personβs name, email address and physical address on Instagram.
What would you do?

Today's adventure:
Crawled under the house and ran some Ethernet cables. Super janky hard wiring setup, the profs and assorted nerds that know what they're doing will probably yell at me for how I did it. I just ran 2 Ethernet cables from the router out the wall, under the house, and into a hole in the wall in both my bedrooms. Then joined them into shielded ethernet couplers, and that's my new receptacle. Also did a cable between my two rooms, in case I ever do a NAS (that'll live in my spare room)
This is a crude and simplified doodle of what I did:
Mostly tested, both the router main cables work, the LAN cable between the two rooms won't be tested until tonight or tomorrow.
I am absolutely fucking filthy though, completely head to toe in mud. Literally. There's mud in my hair, and my shoes. I need a good shower

I have the central heating on, and I'm jumping slightly each time it turns itself on again. I may be a touch on edge.
Another front of big wind on the way around 11 apparently.
The weather made for an interesting trip outdoors for errands
and no, I haven't taken my coat to the opshop yet so it's not my fault this time

I find wind gusts fascinating. The giant tumble dryer decides what stays and what gets ripped up. Big gum tree you're getting uprooted um your friend there can stay. Rusty tin shed you're on your last warning this time but I'm gonna shower you with palm tree fronds from somebody elses yard. Kids trike I'm gonna help you along there.
Of course I don't like that it can be frightening or that people can get hurt or the cost of destruction.
