Ari's soccer team advances to the state finals!
By Andrew Pollack on 10/31/2005 at 12:11 PM EDT
My daughter Ari is on a competitive soccer team. She's worked hard to get up to the level of play with these kids. They play thirty minute periods with eleven girls on a side using a full high school varsity field -- and they play rough. Saturday morning they had an 8am make up game from last week's rain cancelled second day of regional finals. When we got out of the car in Fairfield it was 22 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Ice and frost covered the parking lot -- fortunately just frost on the field. Warm up was done in jackets and sweat pants with hats and mittens on.
The girls came through with a victory against a team that beat them badly in the regular season and have moved on to the state finals and a one in four chance at the championship next weekend. Lets hope the snow holds off!
Congrats to Ari's team, go on that wayBy Jens on 10/31/2005 at 05:09 PM CDT

There's lots of instructions out there around using "LetsEncrypt" or whatever to generate short lived SSL certificates for Domino, but if you want to use a full blown certificate authority -- or maybe your company does self signed certificates and you want to use those, here's a quick reference.

- 01/26/2023Better Running VirtualBox or VMWARE Virtual Machines on Windows 10+ Forgive me, Reader, for I have sinned. I has been nearly 3 years since my last blog entry. The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......
