Maestro still hasn't sent my transcripts, but more than that... this school is NO JOKE! Before I can enroll, I need to take Pre-Calculus, which I started today... they called me last week to let me know that it was the last thing needed before I could join the accelerated combined BS & MS in CS degree track. Some of you stress over tests on Maestro, here is the Youtube video from my orientation about the exam process. I had Pre Calc in high school and aced it... but that was in 1984-5 so this should be fun! Also, I had to buy a white dry erase board and an $85 Graphing Calculator for the exams too (they will be here Tuesday). I had to pay $25 for this course and have 3 months to complete it. Reading what is involved, I should be done in 3-5 weeks and then scheduled for the next Cohort.

Last night, when I was trying to complete my BE 101 coursework, I was unable to send messages to the Mastro AI chat, It would say something went wrong. We're looking into this. Now my learning tab is locked. I can't get a hold of anyone at Mastro to hopefully regain access. I'm freaking out. Has anyone experienced this? Please help me!

Then and Now... 2001 and 2026 CRT, ergo keyboard, & mouse on a KVM to a dual boot WinXP + Debian Duron based workstation, Pentium 2 running Smoothwall Linux to share my 56k hardware modem with my LAN (I believe I took the picture just before my first cable modem got installed). The small desktop case is a old Mac running Appleshare (75mhz 603e cpu with maxed ram), the big box at the bottom was a dual Xeon redhat server... I also had a pizza box SPARCstation 10 running Solaris 8 on Dual CPUs with 128gb of ram that wasn't in view. Today, is an old Celeron mini running Ubuntu for DNS/Adguard/Monitoring/Logging, and a single node Kubernetes cluster + a couple QEMU VMs (one is my Debian 12 persistent dev environment) running a wide range of 'family use' and my dev playground stuff, it is a Ryzen 7 5700G with 64gb. The cable modem service at my house is unreliable crap, so I'm running dual 5G (one T-Mobile and one AT&T). What isn't shown in my M4 Macbook Air with 16gb that is currently my LLM server until I get around to sticking an AMD 32gb card in the server. I've been studying the ROCm stuff and looking to attaching the card as raw PCIe to a K3s pod running SGLang for local LLM dev work. Yes I still need to get a handle on my power management... but it is all connected and NUT is set to gracefully exit the servers after a 5 minute outage which leaves my LAN and 5G devices about an hour of uptime.
