"Home Server Upgrade Phase Two" Phase one of the home server upgrade, taking its operating system from Ubuntu 14.04 -> 16.04, was a fairly long process. In the wake of that upgrade I was left with a non-working MediaGoblin instance. Today, I took the next step: 16.04 -> 18.04. This went substantially better.

FINALLY, after 2 years (!), the U.S. finally has an official "science adviser" to the President. Based on existing records, this appears to be the longest any U.S. President has foregone a science adviser since the position of WHOSTP Director was created. https://twitter.com/FYIscipolicy/status/1080631948308029440 -

Be aware that the ongoing partial US government shutdown has had some impact on communications from the agency, though it does seem tweeting from this account has been happening. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1080112850276888576/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/53242 -

Looking for something fun to do as a science fan today? Keep a close eye on the @NewHorizons2015 account for information about the probes fly-by of Ultima Thule. That happened just after midnight, but it takes 6 hours for signals to get to earth and the probe checks in soon! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1080110963297316864/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/53239 -
