Another big day of cycling in preparation for the STP. This one was 71.5 miles from Sammamish, with a healthy part of Lake Washington and a trip around Mercer Island mixed in. Great day for a ride. First time across the I-90 bridge.
Loving Ride With GPS for mapping things out and turn-by-turn directions while on bike. Fantastic service.
More to come!
Well, this is a personal record: in preparation for the Seattle to Portland Ride in July, I tallied my indoor and outdoor cycling distance for the month of May and came to 419 miles total. Not bad.
June, of course, is going to see that increase.
Wie sehr wollte St. Pauli drinbleiben? Tim Ecksteen über eine Horrorserie mit Folgen, einen Plan ohne Ausführung, Pragmatismus statt Mut und die Frage, ob man sich von Blessin hätte trennen sollen:

📊 #BuLiSaisonPrognose - Team-Analyse FC St. Pauli nach dem 32. Spieltag:
📉 Absturz seit Mitte der Rückrunde: Von 26% auf 99% Abstiegswahrscheinlichkeit seit Spieltag 24.
⚠️ St. Pauli ist auf den 17. Rang gerutscht. Nur noch 39% für Relegation oder besser. Mit Blick auf den aktuellen Lauf kann der letzte Spieltag bitter werden.
Radia Joy Perlman came up with a brilliant solution in just a few days to make computer networks both larger and more reliable.
She created #STP, which allows networks to have backup paths for safety, but turns off any extra paths that could cause a loop. This leaves just one clear, active path for data to travel between any two points on the network.
Perlman even wrote a short #poem, called "Algorhyme," to explain how STP works: 🤩
I think that I shall never see
A graph more lovely than a tree.
A tree whose crucial property
Is loop-free connectivity.
A tree which must be sure to span
So packets can reach every LAN.
First the root must be selected.
By ID it is elected.
Least cost paths from root are traced.
In the tree these paths are placed.
A mesh is made by folks like me
Then bridges find a spanning tree.

From @joannechocolat
Radia Joy Perlman (born 1951) is an American computer programmer, network engineer, & major figure in assembling the networks and technology to enable what we now know as the Internet.
Personal note:
First of all, I love her name! "Radiating (happy, bright) Joy" - and all the photos of her I have seen seem to bear that out! 😊
Her best-known contribution is the Spanning Tree Protocol (#STP), which transformed Ethernet from a technology limited to a few hundred nodes confined w/i a single building into a technology that can create large networks with hundreds of thousands of computers, & made fundamental contributions to internet routing, making it more resilient, scalable & easy to manage. The protocols she designed in the 80s remain widely deployed today.
At the time, if a network had extra connections (called redundant links), it could create a "loop." A loop would cause data to circle around forever, flooding the network and causing it to fail.
