Evelyn Day 55
Hi folks. It is 10 May 2023.
Yesterday was a pretty good day.
My class is going pretty well. One of the challenges with this particular course is providing adequate lab time. In the past, it always seemed like the content on the first two days of class was a bit overwhelming, and the day one lab content could add up to five hours, but after lecture, there might be two hours remaining in the day. The same thing goes for day two. We did ok, maybe even slipping in an extra few minutes of lab time here and there.
There were a couple of political developments. Trump had a jury decide against him in a defamation lawsuit. He was accused of sexual assault by a woman, then he called her a con artist. She sued and provided evidence and witnesses to support her case. Trump filmed a deposition and did not show up for the trial, and his deposition might’ve made things worse for him – he made comments to the effect that the woman was not his “type”, and then confused the woman with one of his ex-wives.

A GOP representative from New York, George Santos, is back in the news… this time because he is facing multiple charges from the DoJ regarding credit card fraud and other charges. He’s the guy that effectively manufactured a fake background, claiming Jewish heritage, touting his career as a varsity volleyball player at a school he never attended and other acts of sheer fantasy. I’m not going to be too sympathetic if he gets found guilty. He’s not part of the solution.
Time for me to think about the day ahead. I’ve got to talk to folks about application security and managing keys, secrets, and certificates in a few hours. Plenty of time to look over my content, but still, it’s time to get this in the can and get on with what comes next… and for me, that’s a medium roast Tanzanian peaberry coffee.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
