I am a leech #

Yesterday, I torrented season 1 to 17 of How It's Made.

It took 22 hours to download.

As soon as the download was finished, I stopped seeding.

Every episode is in AVI format and I am currently converting them to MP4 season by season.

This will take a few days.

This site is no longer online.

I downloaded everything I could from the Wayback Machine.

Some images were loaded using JavaScript and have not been saved by the Wayback Machine.

Backups #

Sunday, August 13, 2023 at 2:23 PM

The main hard drive in my server is 4 TB.

My USB backup drive was 2 TB.

I had only a few folders backed up.

Today, I added a second SATA 4 TB drive in my server and formatted it.

I just started the backup.

It should take a few hours to complete (13h to 20h by my calculations).

Zipline #

Wednesday, August 23, 2023 at 1:48 PM

When I was a kid, we had a zipline in the backyard.

In september 2015, we used the cable to to tow a geni lift up a ramp.

The cable was then lost until my mom found it a few weeks ago on the ground under small trees.

Today, I coiled it and hung it on a hook.

Extra work #

Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 2:13 PM

Summary :

In March, I started working on a code base called "rdv".

Later, I started working on another project.

A few weeks ago, I resumed work on another code base called "testrdv".

I've been working on this code base until I noticed Thursday that I was working on an older version of the code (before March).

This means that the changes I made in March on "rdv" were not transferred to "testrdv" when I resumed work a few weeks ago.

I spent 2 1/2 hours Friday manually merging the code (taking the changes made in "rdv" and "testrdv" and copying them into the same file) by using the "Compare" plugin for Notepad++.

I had two files in Notepad++ on my rectangular screen and Dreamweaver on my square screen.

I was working very slowly and carefully.

I may have added a few bugs in the process.

I will be retesting everything Monday.
