Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln,...

Even ignoring the election news from the US, it hasn't been a particularly great week for me. Part of that is a flare-up of the chronic blepharitis in my left eyelids. Part of that is a recalcitrant fiber modem that won't let me log in using its default admin password (perfectly usable, it just has an annoyingly long WiFi password and doesn't fit the household naming scheme). Part of it's paperwork. Part of it is that cardboard and paper recycling only gets picked up every four weeks.

On the plus side we have internet, with ethernet to every floor so that we can run WiFi access points. And going up and down stairs every day (typically at least twice, more if I have to chase after Bronx) gets easier every day. (But doesn't quite make up for not walking enough.) And I ordered a RaspberryPi 4 for a file server. Called it Centraal, in honor of Central, the original server at Grand Central Starport. As of this writing it's not completely set up. It's between two and three times faster than Sable, my X230 laptop.
