Flashed the BIOS
It's been a while since I've had to flash the BIOS of a device.
The first time didn't seem to work, but probably it just needed another reboot.

SES managed pool
Today was the first time that I've setup a managed IP pool on AWS/SES.
The process seems easy enough, I'll need to monitor it over the next few days.
I would have preferred to have applied it via Cloudformation,
but the environment still has a lot of legacy config that hasn't been imported into CF yet.

First time fixing a corrupt github action
There was a failure on github actions today which seemed to corrupt the action responsible for publishing my github page crowne.githhub.io .
I couldn't cancel it from the command line using
> gh run cancel 132546789
I couldn't cancel it using curl.
Eventually switching the page source to none and then back to main worked.

Upgrade AKS cluster
I'm waiting for the Dev AKS cluster upgrade to finish.
Going from 1.31.7 to 1.32.9, I never remember these numbers so jotting it down here, hopefully it all goes smoothly.

In December I played around with Googles Ant-Gravity and made a word game for English and Spanish.

Copy as markdown link
I found a nice chrome plugin here Copy as Markdown using it to keep copies of the saa-c03 course links.
