Make me redundant

In my early career, the word redundancy used to strike fear into my well-being. Decades later it’s a place a comfort and represents resilience.  Backing up the backup and testing the back-up routinely is an easy habit to adopt. Sadly. For  many end users, they simply store all their precious data on a single device with unknown backup status.

Where’s my data?

A family member nearly lost over 5000 images because they critically failed to even grasp the relevance of backup or data management.

The strategy should always be protecting the data first and the end-point device second but unfortunately, we love our shiny phones way too much to think that way.

Zero gameplay or medication today

Trophy grinding

My first gym session of the year felt great last night and is the perfect antidote to my PS4 Withdrawal. Grinding my way every night through FallOut4 will have to wait for now.

One pretty bad side effect is my tendency to trigger real-world arguments to feed my Amygdala.  There is nothing better than a “good” argument to say the things you normally keep to yourself.  Of course, for me, arguments have an even worst side effect of sparking MG symptoms of sleepiness and chronic fatigue.

Leaving my PS4 in another country is pretty much the only way I could whine myself off my trophy hunting addiction.

So, the extra 20+ hours I week I’ll gain from no gameplay will be spent on watching Twitch, research study, Movies and exercise.  Most of all I need to work on my Cryptocurrency portfolio.  After the last quarters rise in Coin values, the average business person is acutely aware of the potential and looking for stables ways to make a big buck.

I came across a new breed of company a few weeks ago.  Hash Power Service provider meets Network marketing is an interesting blend that makes it easy for anyone to buy-in but it seems these hybrid business models for Cryptocurrency try to paint too much of a pretty picture for the consumer.  In the meantime,  the Meltdown vulnerability makes it clear that hardware Wallets are probably the way to go in the long-term.

30 mins cardio yesterday…no meds

I Can’t Breathe

Turn off the internet on your device and see how many applications flail around for air.  Internet access is the lifeblood of so many apps that they cannot actually properly function without it.

Ergo, to make somethings fail just mess with their network pipeline, throttle it, divert it or corrupt it.

Amazing what you can actually get away with in broad daylight.

The Burn

The next day effects of my overdue workout as my muscle burn echoes and I am sooooooooo sleepy.

No matter, I just need to get back into the exercise habit.

In the meantime, my London trip is now clouded by an uncomfortable uncertainty that makes me what to set up plan B and C.

Back in stride again

I randomly went to a different gym today courtesy of my “any location” membership and got my heart pumping with a 30-mintues cardio session.

Feeling great and should be able to fight off this nagging throat infection.

My own little weblog Cognitive Emotional Behavioural therapy (CEBT) has worked very well this year and I’ve actually achieved a major milestone for the year.
