Wondering how long it will be before we get some half descent cards now.
Splunk. Love it to bits, use it at work heaps, but sadly for personal use once you go past that 500Mb/day license requirement thats it, get your wallet out. This is where ELK comes into play. Being open source I thought i’d give it a crack. Here is my experience. I know there are plenty of guides online for this, but went through a bit of trial and error for my setup.

The current card counts by rarity are as follows: 33 Common 24 Uncommon 9 Rare 1 Ultra Rare 1 Secret-Rare Total Value as of 19 November 2018 = USD$22.
So in an effort to keep on training for the big week I decided to tackle the Wols track located in the Dandenong Ranges National Park. I really do like this NP as it about 4km away from my place, its located in bushland, has a lot of variety and distances as far as I would ever want to do in a day. More on that another time. First walk 50m of vertical up this hill……

So in about a months time, I have an epic week of hiking taking in the Alpine regions in both Victoria and NSW, so I am starting to “train” knowing that there will be a few big days ahead. That being said, I recently completed Mt Juliet which was a good incline primer, but I know one of the days we have planned is a 30km behemoth so I need to get some distance in the legs now.
Before I start ill say that this is not a hike for the faint of heart. The Mt Juliet walking track is a grade 4 track recommended for experienced hikers. It has a reputation of being one of the nastiest hills in Victoria in terms of vertical accent over a short distance. Australian walking track grading system specs can be found here: https://www.ffm.vic.gov.au/recreational-activities/walking-and-camping/australian-walking-track-grading-system Early on Saturday my hiking mate Michael made the trek out to my place (poor bastard had to catch a 5:40am train) so that we could both experience what it would be like to have your ass kicked by a “hill”.
So the night was warm and the sleep interrupted by toilet runs, kids waking up and birds walking on the roof, but we got a sleep in to around 6am which was a nice change from yesterday. Being awake I took a stroll down to the beach and captured this sunrise picture. Sunrise overlooking the northern part of Wilsons Prom from Yanakie Caravan Park. We had plans to tackle 2 walks today, but the weather looked like it was going to be a wet one.
Wilsons Prom, if ever you get the chance to head down to this part of Victoria you wont be disappointed. Its a paradise. I’ve taken my family here a few times now and we are slowly ticking the walks off the list. We started our adventure bright and early on Friday morning leaving at 5am with 200 odd kms to travel to the southern part of the state. A few years ago we attempted the walk from Darby River to Tongue point but it was something that alluded us at that time.
Many moons ago when I was back in high school a few of my school mates introduced me into the world of collectable card games, and in particular the Decipher Star Wars CCG, this was an instant hit with me. I mean what’s not to love about card games and Star Wars? The game had an easy mechanic that didn’t involve anything more than just the cards and the games were relatively quick.
Adding a digital certificate from LetsEncrypt was not to hard to achieve. Instead of reinventing the wheel there were 2 documents that I followed from the Bitnami support pages. The high level steps are taken from this link https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/how-to/generate-install-lets-encrypt-ssl/ Download the lego client Generate a certificate supplying your email address and domain Configure the web server to use the new certificate Restart the web server Test to ensure you have the certificate installed correctly Setup auto renewal via crontab The next thing I went about doing is ensuring that http is redirected to https.
