- <h1>Countdown to domain expiration</h1>
- <p>Day 00515: Wednesday, 2016 August 03</p>
- </header>
- <p>
- I spent most of the day power washing the back porch.
- I wasn't quite able to finish though, as my mother had insisted that I secretly borrow our father's hose for the job and wanted it returned before they got home to notice.
- I will need to finish the job tomorrow.
- </p>
- <p>
- The Samsung GT-I727 made it back to the seller today and they said that they'll issue a refund within five days.
- That mess is finally taken care of, though it'd be nice if they'd actually been able to send the GT-I3100 that they'd promised on the product page.
- Additionally, we've been having issues trying to keep my mother's computer connected to the Internet through the carrier-provided device.
- If the device wasn't blocking basic tethering, it'd be easy to set up properly, but as-is, I had to hack together a solution involving several components, any of which could be the cause of the issue.
- I finally managed to stabilize the connection, actually bypassing that strange <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol">HTTP</abbr> proxy application that I added to the device the other day to set up the connection.
- That application was important, as the setup instructions provided the information needed to connect to an <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol">HTTP</abbr> proxy on the device from the desktop machine using <abbr title="Android Debug Bridge">ADB</abbr>, but other than that, isn't needed.
- The fact is, Orbot has a built-in, secret <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol">HTTP</abbr> proxy, so as long as you know that that proxy is running on port 8118, you don't need a second <abbr title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol">HTTP</abbr> proxy to be installed.
- I simply forwarded a desktop port to that mobile port directly.
- </p>
- <p>
- It seems that the SuperTux bug that I reported the other day <a href="https://github.com/SuperTux/data/issues/13#event-743791130">has been fixed</a>.
- Additionally, I've been sent a reminder that <a href="/en/domains/ystyst.mp.xhtml"><code>//ystyst.mp.</code></a> is expiring in sixty days.
- The registry will probably contact me a few more times about this as time progresses, but I have no intention of renewing it.
- That domain was only purchased in error.
- </p>
- <p>
- My mother dropped me off at the laundromat to wash our clothes, then took off with Vanessa to do other things while I waited, as there was no point in the three of us all wasting time there.
- I probably should have taken the opportunity to do something productive on my laptop, but I don't seem to have any motivation to do such when I'm there.
- The atmosphere there doesn't lend itself well to productivity.
- Tomorrow, my mother has another job interview tomorrow, this time in Salem, so I'll try to be more productive while they're away.
