Over at Ashley’s

As Ashley was away over the weekend, I had to pop over a few times to feed the cat. On Friday we went over at lunchtime and ended up arriving the same time as Alex’s mum. Had a nice chat as I fed Rossie and she went upstairs to turn something off. We ended up feeding the chinchilla a stick.

American Dinner

Our slow cooked (20hour) brisket turned out so well! Shredded it and had it in wraps with salsa. I also did corn bread and Cheri made pea salad. So good!

Trips

With Kiera gone too, Cheri and did a few little road trips. On Saturday we went to Bracknell for some shopping, and on Sunday we found ourself in Oxford for shopping too. I got some new slip-in Sketchers and a new pink work shirt after my last one just vanished.

Tech stuff.

On Friday night I finally restored my Gitlab server where I keep a lot of my personal code projects and build engine. It all runs containerised now.

I also finished the work I needed to do to integrate a Keycloak theme into our Keycloak system at work. It loads the thing in from a container image via an initContainer .

Given a location of an image with just the .jar theme file in a folder, I just added something like this to the Helm chart:
