Good morning software developers and software engineers! Hope your day has started on the right note. Every morning, weather allowing for it, my wife and I have breakfast and go for a brisk walk. Today was no exception. Before 08:00 AM I have watered plants in the yard including a rosemary bush that we planted a week ago or so, showered, shaved, got dressed and started my work day. It is amazing how well you feed during the day once you have exercised, no matter how short or long.
Last week I read the article (let me see if I can find it in my Twitter account @john_canessa … found it) Cybersecurity bills gain new urgency after rash of attacks. It seems that both political parties, Democrats and Republicans are pushing a bill that will help our country against cyber attacks. In the past few months we have seen hundreds if not thousands of attacks, some to disable our government, companies and organizations or to ask for ransom. One of the proposed ideas is to force targets to disclose in a short period of time (24 hours or so) any cyber breach they have experienced. This will allow the government and other organizations to take action as needed to prevent the same type of attacks. In my opinion there should be some type of penalty for the bad actors in an attempt to curb their proliferation (transparency and accountability). Will see what happens with the bill and its implementation! Continue reading “Flatten a Multilevel Doubly Linked List”
It has been raining all day in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The good thing is that there has been little lightning. I was going to replace an old UPS that I am using to power my main computer in which I develop all the code for this blog, but it was not necessary. I will replace the UPS over the weekend. 
It is Thursday July 01, 2021 in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The forecast called for a sunny day but clouds have rolled in and out. Hopefully it will not rain.
For lunch my wife made a pork and cauliflower dish. She added a few drops of Green Dragon Hot Sauce. It goes very well with pork dishes. For desert we had gypsy arm filled in with dulce de leche with strawberries on the side. Lunch was quite good. After chatting for a few and doing the dishes and pots I got back to my home office. 
Good morning gals and guys! Hope you day has started on the right note. Today in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul we are expecting a high temperature of 67F and the day is sunny. Starting today the two-week forecast shows high temperatures in the upper 60’s to mid to lower 70’s. All looks nice, but we are somewhat low on precipitation. From my backyard I can see a small pond with very low water levels. Hopefully farmers are receiving enough rain to have a good crop this fall.
The temperature in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul continues to oscillate between negative and positive values in the Fahrenheit scale. The good thing is that we are around mid February. This year spring starts Saturday March 20. That is about 6 to 7 weeks from today.

Today is Friday. The current temperature is about 40 F which is not bad for this time of the year. Tomorrow is my youngest sister birthday. I believe she is still in China. I will send her a message wishing her a nice day.
Hi gals and guys. Hope you are doing well during the COVID-19 pandemic. It seems that most of us are somewhat tired following the basic rules that reduce the spread of the coronavirus. By relaxing the rules in the past few months, the numbers of COVID-19 infections, in most cities worldwide, are going up. Note that the issue is the number of infections, not the number of deaths. Infected people may need hospital services. If the number of patients is larger than the capacity like it was when this thing started, then we have a problem. At this point in time, people with most infections per 1,000, is people in college age. Please follow the rules! We all benefit from it.
