The sprinkler guy came and finished running the pipe out to the shed location today!

It was a close call but I got all the CT wires run through the conduit into the new low voltage box!
Opened up the drywall under my electrical panel to make room for the electricians to install a new low voltage box for monitoring the power usage of each circuit!
Ikea trip to get some doors and drawers for my new Kallax shelves in the studio!
I found this old Palm Pilot at a rummage sale and fixed the battery terminals and got it to boot up! This was the first Palm I bought, the m105. Now I just need to track down a serial cable so I can install some more apps on it!
Kitchen update. Not a 3D rendering, not AI.
Long day doing an "Intro to OAuth" O'Reilly workshop. The RØDECaster Video held up great for the whole 5 hours tho.
The elevator guy installed the dumbwaiter call buttons today! It's going to drive me crazy that it's crooked though so I am going to have to fix it.
decided to just get a quote for blinds and install all in one go
The new MCP spec just dropped! 🎉
There's too many new things to get into everything, but there are two big changes I am most excited about 👀
📝 Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD) - a simpler way to manage client registrations, clients describe themselves with a URL they control
🔐 Enterprise-Managed Authorization extension (aka Cross App Access) - eliminate the OAuth redirect and get tokens for an MCP server by requesting them from the enterprise IdP
It's been great working on this with folks like Den Delimarsky, Paul Carleton, David Soria Parra, Nick Cooper, Tyler Leonhardt, and more!

They did such a good job with the patio pavers!
The hot tub cover finally arrived! I had to screw the little clamps in for the straps, and it felt more than a little terrifying to drill a hole in the wood with it full of water.
Today I hooked up the CT clamps to the main breaker panel, and now I have continuous monitoring of how much power the house is using! It's very cool. I'm going to have my electrician run CTs to each individual circuit next time he's here.
They finally poured the concrete for the back steps and foundation for the shed!
wet concrete
They are pouring the last concrete tomorrow so I had to get some photos of the forms before they are filled in!
I finally put up the trim for the LED strip on the roof patio. There was this awkward corner to get around that I filled in with epoxy putty, seemed easier than figuring out how to make it work with the trim.
Finally printed the labels for the last patch panels
that's one way to have a cat on your lap
I made a little 3D printed model of the concrete stairs they are building the forms for in order to double check it will be the right shape
