Some questions asked at home recently, plus me trying to rebuild a VM, made me realise just how badly the home services we use are documented, so I'm making a fresh start.

We have Bookstack deployed, one of the services that also needs better documentation, so I already have somewhere to store everything, I just need to make the effort and allocate some time to get the job done.

We to need a pick new names for the meeting rooms in our UK offices of a US company. Good ideas seem hard to come by (it'll likely be something generic). But *bad* ideas, now those we could have fun with

- Famous UK trains (By BR TOPS number only)
- UK Soaps (Rikki and Bianca to be placed next to each other)
- Alan Rickman Characters (Hans Gruber on the top floor, obviously)
- Monty Python Scenes (Coconuts provided)
- Cheeses (I'll meet you in Stinking Bishop at 10) 1/2

I have purchased a couple of items of furniture, and I am now blessed with [checks spreadsheet] 1.7e+284 Allen keys.

In case anyone wants one.

I'm always sad when I report an #IPv6 reachability issue and they respond by pulling the AAAA record. On one hand it means I can see the resource again by way of DNS64, but it also means they basically gave up and retreated back to the 'net of 20 years ago.

Got the Christmas decorations up this afternoon so obviously we needed a Christmas movie on while we worked....
