bus 23 left before bus 22

14:07 Wednesday 15 November 2017 JST

Not by much, but a couple of minutes. Not enough to make me late or anything, but I wonder if 23 consistently leaves first.

line stickers idea

14:03 Wednesday 15 November 2017 JST

Haha someone had a good idea for LINE stickers. I connected with Midori and Tomoko on LINE and Tomoko sent me a sticker with her name on it. Like ハーイ　ともこだよ, where the fontsize for Tomoko was a bit larger than the だよ. Anyway, it's a whole set of stickers, and I guess the artist did a whole bunch of names and pooped them all out at little extra cost beyond writing the names. Or mmmaybe he drew all new images for the different names.

phone battery low

21:11 Wednesday 15 November 2017 JST

As usual, my phone battery is low after not having charged it today. I charged it at JB the past few weeks but forgot tonight.

My computer battery is charged, so I can read Michael John Grist's rewrite of Sen's adventures in _The Saint's Rise_.

I am on page 170 or so out of 470 and had hoped to finish by 20 November. hmm.

playing with aws for sbs.net

12:27 Wednesday 15 November 2017 JST

Not actually sbs.net, but yes actually AWS. Using Ansible again, thanks to Travis having suggested it to me.

Right now as I write this entry, AWS my wifi in this cafe is being slow to realize that my VPC is already created. Not sure why, as it was fast a moment ago.

Yep it just timed out.

The error was: ssl.SSLError: The read operation timed out

Previously, I was getting

Invalid type for parameter AvailabilityZone, value: None

When actually I was sending no value at all. Someone else reported ec2_vpc_subnet subnet creation fails due to az parameter validation error. Thanks, OP!

Yay, now it works because I specified az: ""

- name: Create subnet
  ec2_vpc_subnet:
    vpc_id: "{{ vpc.vpcs.0.id }}"
    cidr: "{{ vpc_subnet }}"
    region: "{{ ec2_region }}"

    tags:
      Name: "{{ vpc_subnet_name }}"

az: ""
