One more sports adventure on my list.
Last weekend, I participated in the Beneva Mississauga Marathon. Thanks to my good friend for enabling that opportunity for me.

Completed the CN Tower Climb today with Team SOTI - 1776 steps in 18:04! Huge thanks to my colleagues for the encouragement and guidance. Feeling accomplished (and exhausted 😉)

I have started revision of my notes. And with the #Obsidian.md, it feels like code refactoring. It is just a markdown in plain files, but on top of them is practically an IDE for texts

I registered an Oracle Cloud account some time ago. Today got an email from them. Well, "some time ago" happened more than 2 months back. Time flies. A free trial period has passed. It's good that they have an always free tier, which should be enough for me.

Today is the backup day. For my home computers, I use two simple tools for backups. The first is the dd utility for the whole drive backup. It helps me keep my OS installation clean and safe. This backup allows me to roll out a ready OS snapshot with all software and configurations in place quickly

Hitting the slopes was amazing, except for the cases when I did it by my head. The day was absolutely epic. Many would say that conditions were harsh, and I tend to agree, but this is the beauty of being on the hills.

Tomorrow is snowboarding season opening for me. Here is the plan:
6:30 - departure
8:30 - arrival
9:00 to 21:00 - hitting the slopes
21:30 - departure
23:30 - arrival
Meanwhile, the area I am heading to got a snow squall warning and wind gusts up to 60 km/h
A wonderful day!

How I imagined my vacation:
more time with family, a nice book, a pet project and some sports
What is happening instead:
an infinite amount of tiny errands I postponed from last month

It was a leisurely day.

It is time to prepare the gear because the season opening is really close. Gear maintenance is time-consuming, but it gives that "one step deeper" understanding of the sport.

Have visited Glen Eden's open house today. Surprisingly, they have lots of snow there, which gives me hope they can start the season in December this year.

All promised work is completed, and now it is vacation time! 🕺

Gravlax is one of my favourite foods. The recipe is simple and the result is amazing.
For 1kg of salmon:
brown sugar: 200g
salt: 150g
brandy: 100g
fresh chopped dill: 100g

I have got into a strange situation. One E-store charged me twice more than I expected. I was comparing two similar items, and to get the final price, including delivery cost, I put them into the shopping cart in different browser tabs.

Today, I had a dive into old but good approaches to provide an extra feature for the existing web application. I have implemented a bookmarklet, a javascript code saved as a bookmark in a browser which can manipulate web app content.

December is kind of a busy month, but in a pleasant way. I am going to enjoy all the customs and events it will bring to me.

Skating season is open!

That was a tough month. Tons of commitments and a very nasty flu on top of it. My personal routine is damaged heavily. I have made mistakes that I thought had been learned already.

Finally some relief

I know a group of people who use shared file storage with a few terabytes of data filled with documents of different types. The share is structured, and most of the time, they can find a document easily enough.

Fosbury Flop - backflip in jumping in height, which opened new horizons for athletes after a long period of similar results using previous approaches. Amazing.

I have been practicing math with my daughter just for fun. The target at school is to be able to count to 50. But we have already tried all basic operations and discussed the concept of infinity. What I am really curious about is how fast I can teach her the idea of number bases

Today is my 42nd post, and I can not resist the temptation to remind that it is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
