It was ‘move to school’ day for my fifth grader so we walked instead of driving. Why don’t we do that more often? It was so nice.
I now have a profile README on my GitHub page. If you create a public repo that matches your username, then you can edit the README.md file and it’ll show up at the top of your page.
Using Raycast to search the Kubernetes site via a hotkey
As I learn Kubernetes by following the Kubernetes Fundamentals course on the Kubernetes, DevOps & Cloud Skool platform, Mischa van den Burg, the founder and course instructor, extolled the virtues of searching and browsing the Kubernetes site. As a matter of fact, when taking the certification exams, one is allowed to use the site as a reference so it’s good to get familiar with it.
As I am learning, I thought it might be helpful to have the Kubernetes site search at my fingertips. As a Raycast user, I went searching and discovered the Universal Website Search extension which allowed me to add the Kubernetes site by adding the site URL and including this in the template:
https://kubernetes.io/search/?q={}
I made it the default search site, then assigned a hotkey (CTRL-OPT-CMD-S) to this action in Raycast.
So now, I don’t even need to visit the site to search. I simply hit the hotkey and start typing my query. Select the response and I’m whisked away to the site to learn more.
Making 'default interactive shell is now zsh' message go away
Now that I switched from zsh to Bash, I’m getting this message, which is annoying…
The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run chsh -s /bin/zsh.
For more details, please visit https://support.apple.com/kb/HT208050.
According to the help article, I added the following to my .bash_profile and it went away.
export BASH_SILENCE_DEPRECATION_WARNING=1
While I’ve been unemployed going on two months now, we’ve tightened our belt considerably. I go grocery shopping for our family of four and we’ve gotten our food spending down to about $1k/month.
Switched my shell from zsh to Bash on my MacBook. I plan to fully embrace Bash as I login to and work with VMs that are running that shell to make my life a bit easier and to remove friction.
Today I begin my path towards learning Kubernetes. I’m a member of the Kubernetes, DevOps & Cloud community on Skool. I’m so excited about learning this topic and plan to post more as I learn about it.
Went for a bike ride with Meech today. Beautiful day here in Colorado.
Studying for the CompTIA A+ certification.
As I move into a new chapter of my professional life, one of the resources I’ve been looking forward to is the Beginner Boost, which starts today.
Tuned up my bike and went for a ride today. It’s been too long since I rode this thing.
Hi. Renewed my Micro.blog subscription. Been wanting to post some things that are on my mind.

Raycast is awesome.
Dropover just took the lead over Yoink for me. Didn’t think dropping things on a shelf could get any better but it did.
Installed Ventura on my early 2013 MacBook Pro. Grew tired of the limitations of the older OS and decided to go for it. Pretty amazing that this is even possible.
Ecobee doesn’t know Littleton is in Colorado.
Added the SnippetsLab Alfred Workflow to my toolkit.
