March 2020 Under the Shadow of COVID-19

March is Mom's birth month. Most pensioners' system update or validate their records for each member during the month of birth. Usually it involves just showing up in their offices. This is a trying time for everyone more so to our senior citizens. So I am trying to work out a way my mom can do hers through Skype perhaps. Or maybe I can just mail the necessary documents and other requirements.

I don't know if I can run or walk outside just for its own sake. I mean I can make food and medicine runs. But I want to exercise somehow.

It is also my birth month. What's my birthday wish? I wish that we all survive this pandemic. I wish you and your family health.

The news updates are starting their mortality count in the country. I'm glad they include the number of those who contracted the virus and are now testing negative. Some barangays in Quezon City are becoming hot zones. Their unknowns are becoming real, real enough. It is going to get worse.

I have a daily routine now with the thermometer. I've been registering my temperature at 36 Celsius. Mom's average is 35.5 Celsius. We are feeling fine.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

New ZFS Pool And the New 4TB Hard Drive

I am using the new pool for my videos and music. Downloading them using my torrent client, transmission. The old pool is raidz2 and now I am using a raidz1 only. But and a big but I gained space of up to 4.5 TB.

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
