Internet service issues have unfortunately gotten worse... Now in the middle of the 3rd day in a row where there's been a complete outage for half the day.

Very happy that it at least held out until I finished work this past week. Off work for a bit, and hopefully will be switched over to the new ISP before I go back.

I was so excited today to find out that I could renew my FAA part 107 certificate through an online training course. No more scheduling & paying for an in-person exam.

I had let mine lapse due to COVID and moving to an area where there isn't a nearby test center.. But it only took about an hour today to renew! Glad to have that done & happy they changed the renewal process

99% of the time, my LTE modem sits idle... But it's days like today that I'm very glad to have it. Quick failover back & forth as my primary ISP keeps dropping out.

It's still not ideal, but at least I am able to continue work without too much interruption.

Been having fairly constant internet issues this week & of course the SP is being less than helpful...

Luckily I should only have them for another week or so. Super excited to finally be able to get fiber home internet soon, and finally get symmetric upload & download speeds. Even more excited that the new ISP offers up to 5Gb/s to the home - and even their 1Gb/s plans are cheaper than what I pay now for 400 down / 20 up.

Today I learned you can subscribe to RSS feeds for GitHub repos: https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/releases.atom or /tags.atom

Currently struggling with a piece of software that advertises that you "Own and control your data" - yet they provide no easy way to actually export your data... and when asked, tell you to come up with your own export process via their poorly-documented API.

Guess I'll be spending a lot of time trying to build an export utility & definitely moving away from this service...

Spent my Saturday morning down by a nearby lake, just enjoying the sounds of nature 😊

Starting to feel thankful that I began trying to do YouTube videos about two years ago. These days I'm working on a bit more video content for work - and it's certainly easier & less anxiety-inducing than it would have been if I didn't have the prior experience.

Always thought I was pretty decent with regex, but this is the first time I've worked with a dataset that's no where near uniform. Thousands of lines, all manually entered by who knows how many individual people - over the course of years...

So today is the day that I finally learned about catastrophic backtracking 😅

Luckily, once I figured out that was the problem, it was an easy fix.

I feel like a lot of my video / content ideas quickly go from "This is maybe too short, only ~3-5 minutes.." to "Let me add one more thing... Oh no, how is this 35 minutes long now!?!"

Currently starting to put some thoughts on my next thing, but already wondering if I'm putting too much into it 🤔
