June 11: I am back on the coutch-to-5k merry-go-round. Tonight was Week 1, Day 2.

(DVD ripping continues)
June 10: Well, that was slightly embarassing: email to this site has been broken for a number of days due to a slightly full disk, caused by a certain cloud provider's management software downloading all possible versions of a component of itself into a non-standard location instead of, you know, using package maangement tools and repositories and what not. Anyway. Repaired. If you got some species of 4XX error when trying to send me mail it will eventually get to me.
June 09: Last episode of The Sweeney S1. Again, this being of its time, I guess there was a presumption that there'd be a S2 without any real need to do a cliffhanger; it's just a regular episode.

DVD ripping continues. Currently ploughing through Doctor Who (the Ecclestone year) and still finding bugs in my code.
June 08: Offline network actually looks to have been some fight between the mesh network and the macintoshes, since it affected my laptop as well as the jumpbox, and simply bouncing the network connection in some way fixed it.

Last of season 6 of George Gently. Another great story, beautifully made. I did note that all the period cars are in immacualte condition, even the delivery lorries, which you just know would've been battered hulks in reality.
June 07: Got a "internet is offline" alert overnight. Assumed it was down to the irregularly-scheduled mesh network update (over which I have limited control) and drove off to a location 200km away only to discover it's more likely that the jump box that I use to get into the home network, which is also the canary for "internet is offline", has likely crashed and of course I can't do anything about it until I drive back.
June 06: I could've sworn I'd seen Fracture before but no. And it's pretty damned excellent, with the minor plot hole around Why The Trick With The Gun Would Not Have Worked In Practice (IMDb nitpickers identify one reason, but I'm pretty sure there's an entirely other one as well). The other thing that nagged at me throughout was whether Crawford targeted Beachum for a reason or because he was a useful idiot; it seems like the latter, but it definitely felt like the former while watching. Oh, and Hopkins' accent was all over the place for some reason. Still, pretty damned excellent.
June 05: Invoked backchannels. Undoing The Thing may be less onerous than we thought.
June 04: Work stuff: we Did A Thing that shouldn't have been possible and now we need to Undo The Thing. The annoying part is that it's blocking some work that's been in flight for while. "For the want of a nail" territory.
June 03: Discovered that the ... fiends at Prime Video have stiffed us on individual episodes in The Sweeney, i.e. all four seasons are present but some episodes within the seasons are missing. Whyyyyyyyy.
June 02: DVD ripping resumes: I've now got a reasonable pile of crap to convert TV episodes into a series of mpeg files. Of course I'm still finding bugs.
