Christmas is over, did anybody get anything cool?

After I got rid of my beloved Pebble before it stopped working due to the FitBit buy out, my lovely wife and daughter presented me with a new Apple watch.

My big one is to be more mindful and own myself and my actions. Broken down it looks like this.

• Continue to transform my body. I am at the point I won't say lose weight, as it is more than that. I am down 100lbs in the last 5 years, not it is more about gaining muscle, and lowering body fat than having a number goal.
• Meditate more and own my thoughts and mental processes. Disconnect my feelings and wants from my actions, and delay actions until I know why I am acting.
• Cut down alcohol. It has been heavier than I want, and doesn't align with my goals.
• Desire less. I have cut my possessions down by about 30-40% percent, and I want to keep going, less overhead, less stress, focus more on experiences and time spent with my daughter and less about buying and maintaining things.

Okay okay geez.... you guys made me get back on the healthy eating wagon. I have about 75 pounds to lose. I am getting about a mile walk in a night, even though it hurts. Orthopedic doctor wants to do surgery on my leg/back, once my weight gets down.

I am not a doctor, nor do I pretend to be one. I simply have had back surgery, and several people in my family have as well and this is what I have seen. From my research back surgery to eliminate pain has a low success rate, but surgery to fix motor function is often a requirement. I was to the point I was loosing motor function in my left leg due to nerve damage. Best decision of my life. Everyone else I know that went to an orthopedic doctor for pain has been through multiple surgeries and left dependent on pain meds, and is still in pain, and often as bad or worse than they started. I encourage you to do your research first, and wait until you get the 75lbs off. You will feel a ton better from that alone. It is a long road, but you can do it.

@wirestyle22 Your best bet is don't eat junk food, count your calories, and start walking. You don't need to worry about macro nutrients and strict workout routines for a long time until you have done the above for at least 6 months to a year. If you need any more than that, you need to sit down with a physician and work with them directly. There are 1,000 different diets, and ways to do it. There is not a best one one or right one, or a best practice, sorry. They all work, just find one you can stick too and do it, no exceptions, and give it a few months. You will feel better.

I am a HODLER myself, so I just view this as a after Christmas half off sale. Good luck out there man.

Buy anything today or yesterday? I found a really cool new project that I am really excited about.

I have an automated buy that buys some every payday. It is my goof off slush fun money. I then let it build up, or crash, or spend a bit on fun stuff for myself. I would never invest more in than what I am ok with loosing.

Just dropping in for an update. So about 4 months ago, I joined a CrossFit box and I absolutely love it. Please skip the CrossFit is stupid, or a risk of injury, or etc. etc. etc. I get it, but I have found a gym and a community that pushes me to work out and try like I never have before in my life. I'm up to going 4 days a week at 5:30am. It is tough getting up that early, but it is the one time of the day that nothing conflicts. I haven't lost weight, but I have held near the same body fat and put on about 10lbs of muscle. I need to keep that in better check with diet, but I digress. I am lifting heavier than I ever have, and I can run a mile without stopping to catch my breath, and slowly getting in the best shape of my life. If anyone out there is thinking about trying it out, go for it. It isn't like the stereotypes, and you don't have to be an athlete to get started, everything scales.

What I had with dinner... a Mango Lassi

I was thumbing around here this morning, and after clicking a few links, I stumbled across RollApp. It is in browser, cloud based, opensource aplications. ( I think I got the buzz words right) Either way, this is the best free tool to have in the belt I have seen in a long time. I just wanted to share.

I think "Misadventures in Zurich" sounds good while coding this morning.

Just a quick question , if you could start fresh for an enterprise web app, with a sql backend what would you use. Currently we use C# in a visual studio MVC project, then razor forms. If we could start all over how should we do it?

SW Missouri here. I confirm, snow on the ground Milk and bread gone from store shelves. It is nice not having to walk more than 2 feet into any store with out a huge pile of snow melt and shovels for sale.

I'll comment for a chance at a freebe.

I enjoyed it. Also I am buying a van to park downtown, and charge to dispense basic information just to screw with tourists.

@momurda said in Help with IIS Security:

You certainly can do this. SSRS/CRM/NAV all do this. I dont really have any specific answers other than yes.
Your post is still a bit vague.
What authentication is the IIS using? What view are they presented with when logging in?
What permissions do users have by default to the sql server? What is the view currently?

I know I am being a bit vague, but my company has a somewhat strict policy about seeking help online. I am using Windows Authentication on the site. What I am looking for is a setting in IIS that I can say this AD group can get to X page, and this group can get to Y page but not X page. I know I can do it in my application, I was just hoping I could do it in IIS. It works if I use passthrough security and edit file security permissions, but I need the Application Pool to run as a specific user, so this doesn't work because to the OS all users read the files as the same user.

@Minion-Queen I am sure a little bit of time on ye ol' Google would serve me better. I was just looking for big picture overview. You have put this in my queue of possible ways to educate my daughter, as before I had not even considered it. She is 5 weeks old at this point, so I have plenty of time.

@sreekumarpg There is allways the good old Spiceworks Helpdesk. Not open source, but "free" by way of adds.

I once heard the internet was not a big truck, but a series of tubes.. Just kidding, good write up..

Are you talking about the world pipe?

Referring to the time and Alaskan Senator explained to the US Congress that "The internet is not a big truck, it isn't just something you put things in" and "It is a series of Tubes, and those tubes can get clogged."

For anyone who stumbles across this in the future, I could never get this to work more granular than the entire site security IIS. I have edited my web application to grab the local user account from the browser and preform an Active Directly lookup manually. It works, so moving on. Thanks for the advice either way.

@tonyshowoff I could get into the whole part of meat production causing more greenhouse gas than all the cars on eath combined, how out current rate of meat intake per capita is up 3 fold in the last 100 years in the US. It is completely unsistainable and will cause us either slow down or stop meat production, or bulldose what is left of all of the worlds rainforest in favor of farm land, but I won't. for me the idea of more veggies less meat made me feel better, healthier, and I felt like I was doing my little tiny part to cut back on my carbon footprint that I leave it the world. I also, grow my own veggies, live in less than a 1,300 sqft with plans on downsizing, and mow with a reel mower.

I'm a darn hippie, but it makes me happy knowing that I am making a gnats fart of a difference in the world.
