Almost time

Iain Lowe added an entry about grow a bonsai tree:

My little dogwood is doing nicely. The leaves keep growing and the trunk seems nice and solid. I potted it last weekend and added some root food to make sure that transplant takes properly. I trimmed back the tops of the branches to encourage it to grow laterally a bit more. I hope I can actually bring it home soon and start to keep a closer eye on it.

Frustrated by UML

I recently have been experimenting with User Mode Linux. My goal is to be able to run some of my tests on my local machine without needing to setup a whole EC2 instance.

At the same time I am evaluating the possibility of using UML on my instance to separate out the various services.

The main problem I am having at the moment is with the networking. Although I am able to connect to the host machine, I seem to be unable to create a route to the rest of the network.

Too late this year

Iain Lowe added an entry about keep bees:

We’re going to postpone the bees until next year. I convinced Mom that we should get some so we’ll start the process of acquiring and placing the hives this fall/winter. In the spring, we’ll contact one of the local beekeepers and get a nuc from him. Sometimes good things come to those who wait…

First steps

Iain Lowe added an entry about grow my own vegetables:

My mother and I have made a bunch of boxes for our garden in the country. We have already planted three of them with tomatoes, peppers, leeks, watermelon, strawberries and zucchini.

They were once so shiny...

Long reed cap shot of my pipesI was just looking at this picture of my pipes. I had forgotten how shiny they were when I first got them. Now the brass has started to develop a patina so it is quite a bit duller and a little splotchy in places.

The patina is actually desirable (for a lot of pipers) as it makes the pipes look antique. We would probably all play 100-year-old sets if we could.

The wood (which is cocobolo - a type of rosewood) has also darkened considerably since I got the set. The maple in the mainstock hasn't changed much though, nor have the mounts. There is a slight discoloration of the chanter mounts since I keep it in a red leather case I made that has tinted the wood somewhat.

Saplings

Iain Lowe added an entry about grow a bonsai tree:

I planted a bunch of saplings in the fall. Three of them died and one survived. Originally, I had wanted a birch but it turns out the plant we grabbed was a dogwood. It is full of beautiful leaves. I’ll post pics next time I go and see it.
