What did you achieve today?

Post Reply New Topic

I automated lots of boring text processing, like copy/pasting information from a webpage into word. Now i just copy paste everything into a program i wrote and it automatically regexpes stuff and sorts it into specific sections that i can just copy/paste into a incident report. 20 minutes of work now take a second.

I also started visualizing some customer data (incidents), will make the whole analysis thing much faster and i can see attacks that span the whole organization immediately and follow a pivoting intruder across enterprise network(s):

made myself go out and walk in the gray damp. did initial separation work on a monophonic sound file.

Also needed to do a walk even though I wasn't up to it.

^^^so did you?

Yep, Aunt Blabby, on a snowy day, nonetheless.

And to all, if you achieved something today, pat yourself on the back.

^^^way to go!

I wanted to go for a walk but it was raining and then the ramp is too slippery to get down in my wheelchair or scooter.

Good for all you guys walking in less than ideal weather. I love the elements. Or at least I used to until I became a wimp living in a subtropical climate.

I did manage to complete one more of those stupid, beastly chores required for my work.

I love where I live now. I once reveled in snow and ice, and love the north woods. The NW is also beautiful in its misty way. But I love going barefoot all year long.

For my work, I have to subscribe and pay for the state vpn line. This must be the only system left in the US where recipients of the service must pay with paper checks with individual invoice numbers printed on it. Can't use electronic payments, credit cards or even banking online payments. This drives me nuts because I don't even buy stamps anymore.

The state is switching to a new web-based system with its own security so we will not need vpn anymore. And I have already paid for the first six months of the vpn system.

My required chore this month was to fill out several forms that are required because the state is changing the way they will bill for vpn.

If I don't complete the forms by 1/31/19, they will cut off my access to vpn on 2/1/19. Even though I've paid for it. Even though we may not need it past what I have already paid.

I have to laugh cause they do this stuff to us all the time. Another example, also due by the end of the month: my annual monitoring score was 98.8%. I have to submit a remediation plan for the missing 1.2%. And it is a long form, which must be done on legal size paper, etc, etc.

^^^wow as they say, "that is way above my pay grade"

^^^^ This is why I have no time to find the connector for the CD player, or learn how to convert a CD music to digital.

^^^You are absolutely correct about the self, it is time to do this, stuff. I exhaust myself with my work and have no energy left for anything else. When I can push thru to something else, I feel way better. Thanks.

^^^I hope you can find a way to put the work further in the background so you can make more time and energy for your own needs

Thanks.
