weirdness

 the week's half over and it's been a weird one.

sunday: i actually (finally!) put a couple of hours into strategizing a legacy app i've been thinking about for a year and a half already (it's what i made the simple free encryption tool for). nystire - aka the destroyer of dreams - has validated it and provided some helpful feedback so i'm pretty confident this is a good idea.

we also spent a little time by the pool, which was really nice.

 this work week so far: i've been deploying, rolling back and fighting massive serverless/terraform/terragrunt headaches, and while today's deployment finally looks good i'm still not 100% confident and i'm monitoring nervously. the best part was discovering that one of our production services has been down for over a month and it doesn't deliver error notifications O_o

*sigh*

it's the little things.

guitar hero live is awesome, i've received my copy of dance dance revolution and tested it with a regular controller (weird), and all that we're waiting for now is the dance mat for my early birthday present to myself to be complete.

we watched a couple of very interesting documentaries on izzy the other night: blues by the beach (heartbreaking) and israel inside (making gd even more excited to move).

now to get back to monitoring and then hopefully find some time to make bookings for the december holidays...
