I rode my bike to work today. I put my belt on backwards to alternate its wear. The rear loop on my black 510s is especially worn at the top.
I looked at spreadsheets from Todd around the work he’s doing on procurement. We’re meeting tomorrow afternoon to talk about it.
I watched part of a masterclass webinar on CloudFormation last night while cleaning the kitchen. I’m wondering how well it might combine with Docker, and whether that might lead to Wercker in our deploy pipeline from GitHub.
I got the new Business Services Portal (BSP) site up and running on AWS. It’s in OpsWorks, deploying via trigger from Travis CI, same as our current setup for alpha.phila.gov. The Composer private repository, compiled by Satis, was serving up a bad zip of the Mega Project theme. I had to rm the file and clear the cache before building again.
I fixed the database syncing on the management server, which needed an updated version of the cookbooks.
I investigated the creation of a bot for our Slack channels, but we’re now limited to 5 integrations on the free plan. We’re way over that, and I’m not sure how many I can disable or remove.
In configuring the Travis deploy for BSP I needed to encrypt the AWS key, which meant installing the Travis CLI gem and cloning the BSP repo on a test box. The gem installation hit memory limits on the small VM, leading me to create a swap file.
Last night I put Roan to bed while Mama and Omah were at a clothing swap. It was raining, and when there was thunder, I said, “Boom boom boom, Roro.” He hugged my arm at each rumble.
