Good-Day

Yet another mostly-quiet day. Work I’m down to 44 days left in the contract, 28ish working days. I had some successes integrating our Alertmanager into a corporate tool called Service Now via its API, so we can send alerts in theory. I say in theory as no one’s defined any useful alerts in our eleventy-seven thousand metric points. Given we have no SRE, that’ll probably fall to me, and it’s really not my area of expertise....

Last Friday was better at work for reasons I can’t put my fingers on. Made some good progress on various tasks.

All in all, a better day. Up at 6am. Out of the house by 6:30. On the train at 6:45. In London by 7:30 and into a black cab. Noted like 10 sets of media outlets broadcasting outside of Buckingham Palace. Bloody vultures.
