I’m briefly home. I went on a Disney cruise, and was fabulously sunburnt. Got to go snorkeling, which is among one of my favorite things to do. Odd since for those who know me well know I detest water. Being wet, baths, showers, rain, pools, swimming, wet dogs, you name it, not a fan. But I adore snorkeling. Didn’t care for the second degree sunburn.

Anyway I got to talk to IT onboard the ship, which was rad. I think they enjoyed speaking to someone in a normal tone, rather than getting yelled at. The two guys my husband and I spoke with were so excited to talk to us about their job, and then the girls at the front desk were teasing them because apparently they never laugh. It’s just they were with their people, mang! They verified what I had already suspected, what sort of telecommunications devices Disney uses. That’s not really a secret. If you know anything about big corporate networks, you can take a pretty good guess. They talked about the logistics of their job, and how they basically do everything onboard, and a lot of what they do is liaise with the offboard team to finagle solutions until a more permanent one is found. My last cruise I was able to talk with the costume crew, which was also rad. The woman I spoke with showed me how they did quick changes for Elsa from Frozen on stage. 

Food was fabulous. I read a lot. We had a great time.

Anyway, I’m only briefly home. I leave again in the next few days for Spain. I don’t expect to be on a whole lot, and in theory the connection in Spain is decent, but my house has a fiber connection. I’m just saying. 

I *hope* to talk about the Nord VPN breach in the next few days, because that’s my field, and it’s also a huge area of interest for me, but I’m not sure I’ll get to it. I’ve also been awake way too long. Good night.
