Early she rises: the weekend approaches
December 3rd, 2004 by Anders Kringstad

It’s early. I got up at 0535 this morning to do some workout and get some clothes cleaned before work. For once I actually did get up. I have done about 60 situps and stretched out some sore legs. It’s been a lot of walking lately. I need to go more to the gym. I’ll try to go there tomorrow morning and hopefully I’ll manage to go there 3-4 times next week. That’ll help me shape up before the Christmas-dinners. Atleast my dad and stephmom are also doing some fat-burning so the Christmas-dinner at their place will be a bit more healthy than it’s been before. That’s in one part of my mind good, because I know that I’ll eat too much of it anyways, but in other parts of my mind I feel that I can deal with a few days of feast without gaining too much permanently. Maybe? We’ll see about that.

Today is the final day of a week with much work. I’ve been bussy trying to get lots of sponsors for our computerparty, AuLAN:Heat in february 2005, and to add up on that it’s been lots of work to do at Grep too. “Security beef up 2004” you may call it, as I have, for no particular reason decided that it was time to put in some filters in the local network. It’s well protected from many angles, but now it’s even more secure. It can never hurt to be even ore safe? Details include local addressfilters, and today I’m looking at adding some kind of sensor system on every machine to check for all kinds of bells and whistles. Nagios is running smoothly for static monitoring of services, but I’d like to add some more security. Ideas are welcome by the usual channels. I take pride in having secure servers. It not only make me sleep well at night, it also make me have a tingling feeling in my body when someone mention the ‘security issues’ of their own installations, such as uhm, certain peoples Windows-servers. I’m happy I don’t manage any of those myself.

In stock for the weekend there’s a lot of nice things to do. Jorunn is having an exam tomorrow and after that we’re having dinner. I’m thinking about pancakes. Pancakes are good. To make sure I won’t interupt her reading tonight I am going to visit my grandparents to give her total peace of mind. It’s been a few weeks since I saw them and I want to ask my grandmother about fixing one of my special Christmas-gifts too. A very special one *:)

As mentioned a while ago, I am looking for somewere else to work, that is, if it’s in Trondheim, Norway. Check out my work page for more info about that (Norwegian only). Enjoy your weekend everyone.
