Getting in over my head. It’s a rare thing that happens. Generally, if I open my mouth to say I can do something, I mean I can do it. I come from that underpromise overdeliver school of thought.
One of my most annoying qualities is that I like to research shit to make sure I understand what is needed. I then assess those needs against what I’m capable of doing and make the choice. Same concept applies when I’m looking into purchases as well. I expect the same of others.
Right now, I’m experiencing a situation that I put myself into. In that I figured I could make something happen (behind the scenes) and with limited knowledge, I forced myself into doing it. The reality is, I’m now in over my head on something that if it were the old way I’ve done it, it’s a piece of cake.
Nope, I added a whole layer of complexity. WHY?!?
Actually, I know the why. However, the situation is going to take a bit longer than I had hoped and is going to require me reaching out to people I know to see who may have the time to help, and / or give me some pointers and instructions that I can make note of and keep myself afloat once the project has been put up on stilts.
This isn’t a music thing. It’s music adjacent. Meaning directly related to my music and some extra areas of my functioning ability around tech. It’s called Kubernetes.
If you’re reading this, in a relatively short time frame from whence it was published, I’d appreciate it if you reached out to me if you’re well versed in Kubernetes.
See, I got my little server set up with the inkling of Kubernetes. The cluster is seeing itself. But I have run into a wall. There are not enough good examples of what I’m wanting to do and there’s 5 big things I need to accomplish with my cluster.
I know once I get this setup and someone can explain a few of the moving parts (as if I were a 5th grader), I can maintain it without much issue. So I won’t be a constant burden to the helpful person.
Now let’s talk a moment about Maine. I’ve unfortunately never been to Maine. I have had a roommate who was from Maine, during my university days. Yes, he had a fairly strong accent. He was very proud of his heritage as well.
After all these years, I might have a small way of paying a bit of tribute to him. Today there’s a version of Do You Want to Play for the Maine Celtics. The G League team out of Maine, duh.
What would be super fun is if the Maine Celtics got wind of this song and decide they want me to come perform it at a half-time event. One, I’d be able to see a friend I haven’t seen in many years. Two, I’d get to see yet another pro basketball team perform. Three, I’d be able to partake in some real clam chowder, which is one of my favorite soups.
Are you from Maine? Are you a fan of your Maine Celtics? Are you savvy with Kubernetes? Do you know any of the team owners? Let’s make some magic happen!
