Not a good start I’m all ready to go on that trek that we’ve been planning for a while with a friend (aka trekking buddy). For some reason everytimes we book a trek we end up in a small group of 3-5 people rather than 10-15. I wonder how this one is gonna be. Today, we both reeived an email from the travel agency urging me to consider some last minute changes.
To Nepal!
I’ve always enjoied hicking and did a few maintly in Asia before I discovered a few years back an interest in treking. Afer going through part of the Toubkal in Morroco (2015), Snow shoeing five peaks in the Queyras region of the French Alps (2016) and last climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania (2017) my next trip will be Nepal. This will be by far my longest trek so far with almost 3 weeks in the Himalayas.
Things to do in Hong Kong
See or experience Tsim Sha Tsui: lots of restaurants and bars The eyebar: view of the harbor from this rooftop bar (windy) The peak: top of the “mountain” on Hong Kong island , great view of HK by night Temple street night market were you can have live fish and seafood cooked for you many nice museums and arts in central district Symphony of Lights at night on Victoria harbour (to watch from HK side like wan chai or on a boat
PiDP11/70: Soldering diodes and resistors
Let’s get started Slowly I believed I’ve got all the tools I need for now so let’s start building this puppy. This kit is not so easy to get (no on-click buy on Amazon or simple trip to a shop) so I’d rather not break it. Also I’m new at soldering having only done it a few times since high school so I’ll take my time. Bending and soldering I bent all the diodes and resistors by hand the best I could.
Monitoring IPSec/BGP without SNMP
Why? For a client, I recently needed more visibility for IPSec tunnels and BGP session statuses. Normally with a routing equipment you tend to look into SNMP for this. But that was not a good option for variaous reasons: 1. the routing appliances use VyOS: basically a network oriented Linux distro, which is quite good for our needs 2. a quick search found little in the realm of SNMP MIB for BGP and nothing for IPsec as a result
PiDP11/70: Knolling
Before we start anything I’m a big fan of Adam Savage’s One day builds series and in one of them (I’ll post the link if I can find it) he stressed the importance of knolling before you start a project. Now considering the amount of pieces and how small there are, it seems like a good idea to do just that. Okay, I’ve got the correct count of everything and even a couple of spares for some.
Project 2501
A small tribute to the 1995 Oshii Mamoru’s 1995 Ghost In The Shell and a way to test Hugo shortcode for Youtube.

About
It’s about time If you were looking for a blog on Time travel, General Relativity Law and other FTL spaceships1 you may have misunderstood the purpose of this blog from its title. Really it just means “It’s about time! I have my blog”. Sorry. Or maybe you’ve been looking for this site for ages. Besides being a little urprised and flatered, I totally understand your longing. I’ve put this task up for too long mostly out of the idea that I’d struggle with interesting content.
PiDP11/70: New Amazon delivery
New soldeting tip I still a noob at soldering So this project will be challenging and educative. My initial tests prooved difficult and I thought I didn’t get enough heat to melt the solder. So I ordered a chiselled tip for the Hakko FX-888D (type T18-D16), to see how it goes compared to the default pointy one and a fan. It probably isn’t the most efficiant tool for venting the fumes
