It is Tuesday morning, 21 March 2023, and spring hasn’t entirely sprung yet, but the wild onions in the yard are peaking up a little higher than anything else that’s green. Pretty soon here it will be time to get the mower, tractor, and gator ready to roll around the property and get some lawn maintenance done.
Yesterday was a good day, the first time I’ve delivered this course solo. I always like the networking side of things, I think primarily due to the math and the logic involved in configuring route tables and filtering rules. Today we’ll pick it back up talking about load balancers for HTTP/HTTPS traffic and other solutions that aren’t as tightly coupled to specific protocols.
It is Tuesday, so that means tacos.
The sting of March Madness got a little pain reliever yesterday. KU’s men’s team had an early exit from the tournament, and the KU women did not get into the field of 64 for the women’s tournament. The women did get to go to the other tournament, the NIT (“National Invitational Tournament” which predates the NCAA – although some people refer to it as the “Not Invited Tournament”). The Kansas women moved deeper into their tournament last night by knocking off Missouri in impressive fashion, 75-47. Looks like they play again on Thursday, so I’ll wish them luck in their next game versus Nebraska.
It’s about time to get the coffee beans ground and the water heated for the morning brew.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
