Progress!

I finally enabled ssl (via letsencrypt) for both this blog and Christina’s.  I had messed up the redirects however and hadn’t noticed, so http traffic for my site was going to hers.. oops!

Her idea, and a good one at that.  It was really quite easy.  Automating it (in case i need to ever rebuild) was a little more complicated, but still it’s done.

I still haven’t played with my resin printer yet.  In all fairness, I haven’t been using my filament printers either.  In the case of resin though, it turns out temperature matters, and it’s been chilly.  I’d need to get the resin to about 20-25c, and that’s not easy to do or maintain.  Not a big deal, resin is stinky, and I’m ok with waiting until it warms up (and I can open a window).

I have this ultrasonic cutter here in mind as a purchase for this year. Seems like a brilliant idea (obviously, there’s a kickstarter for a cordless version under the name ‘Wondercutter’).  Again, it’s no real rush.

The intel cpu bug (with it’s associated potential system slowdown) has me thinking I might treat myself to a workstation upgrade this year — or rather, both workstations.  They’re about .. 2? years old at this point, which is a decent run.  Replacing equipment on a regular cycle ensures less chance of hitting MTBF.  I have a stack of drives to go into my main storage array for the same reason.
