No. That is the accepted follow on to anyone saying One. Step. Beyond.

The “S” in IoT stands for security.
You want a computer to connect to a 60" screen to display the current conditions of the manufacturing line?
That’s easy. Overkill, but easy.
You want that machine to boot up and log on to the network automatically?
Trivial. I have a security model made just for that.
You want it to bring up a webpage once it is booted up and logged on?
Sure thing. But, it requires a log on to view that page. Shall I bring in our Identity team so we can work out some form of SSO or claims based authentication. That will increase the scope of the project though…
< crickets > < crickets >
Oh, you found you can pass the username and password through the URL, so could we just open the webpage with these additional parameters?
Why the hell not.

We finally got new phones at work and were all
but it turns out somebody else got new phones and we got “new” phones. Earwax pre-installed.
I guess this meh is more of a blech.

That puts the ‘ty’ in security. The ‘ty’ being a thank you from the hackers.

I no longer have a bald spot.
I have a bald football field, from front to back, with hair sproinging up on both sides like redwood bleachers. All that’s missing are the goalposts and a squad of cheerleaders practicing for the next game.
It’s like Moses parting the ginger sea.
Why do they say “growing bald,” anyway? It’s seems like a contradiction. I think “mowing bald” would be better . . .

“I made sandwiches for lunch” sounds so much better than “I made sandwich cookies out of peanut butter and chips ahoy cookies for lunch.”

I disagree.

We have a friend who insists that peanut butter does not go with anything sweet. I think she’s from Neptune.

Woke up this morning in a bit of a panic.
It was 6:45am and somehow I’d slept through my alarm.
I jump out of the bed, try and figure out quick I can get ready and cursing my not starting work early.
Then I realize (spoiler alert) it’s Sunday. So that lessened my anxiety.
Then I next realized we had dinner plans tonight at a couples house who sort of make me wish it was Monday already.

Offered a more permanent position… a limited, 2 year with a 6/6 load, but with a salary and benefits at least… so… yay? I guess.

Feeling a bit better about it, now that I know the rough outline of the schedule… it will be rough, as I will have to go between 3 campuses (all within 3 or 4 miles of each other, at least), but it’s now all modern world and US surveys, which I have completed preps for. I will need some revisions for the world preps, but not too much, I don’t think.

Congrats! Maybe you can eventually transmute it to tenure track (if such a thing still exists).

The associate chair who got me this said that it gives him a stronger hand for arguing for another TT position in the future, which I’d still have to go through the process to apply for, but it sounds like he’d support getting me in for that.
He also changed the schedule once more - I will have to do a new prep for the world to 1500 now, as he has me back on that, but only going to one other campus, which kind of blows… plus revisions.
And he’s going to try and get me a cubicle, but there is no office space available, which sucks.
So, still mostly yay?

Short work week. Most people out. Perfect time to get caught up on things.
HA!
Dragged into two meetings this morning that effectively used up the morning.
Got back to my desk at noon just in time to miss my call back from Microsoft on a ticket I put in on Friday.
No worries. Refill my coffee and grab something out of the vending machine.
Get the call back, everything checking out. Yep, I’m a global admin in Azure, so everything should be beer and Skittles.
Nope. I can’t see anything on this particular page.
Now, mind you, I’d already asked around last week to see if any of the other global admins could get past this point.
To cut this “meh” short-ish, Global Admin is everything in Azure. Except the one little piece I need to click through a god damned wizard. And I think there is only one person working until next week who can grant me that additional role.
Meh.

OMG all I want to do is configure some analytics.
Hell, I’ve even found a how to that is recent enough that the Azure Portal pages still look almost like the tutorial.
But then, just as I about to go “let’s do this”, another prompt comes up that I can find no documentation on what they are looking for.

I’ve been up too long (couldn’t sleep) been at work too long (see former) and just not sure wtf I should bite off on for the last half of the day.
Maybe I’ll clean my office and make it look like I care.
Meh.
