Insulin Pump Upgrade

G6 > G7

To use the latest Dexcom sensors (G7) with the Tandem X2:slim insulin pump, you need to do an update. I'll skip all the individual steps since they're well described on the website of the local distributor. Once you've got everything ready, it's time for the update.

Last Day

at the Big Four

Two years and seven months. That's how long I lasted. In that time I experienced a Supply Chain Attack (Kaseya) and got up at two in the morning. Found out the customer was lucky — saved by an antivirus with a fairly simple but effective rule. Handled several ransomware attacks (Da...

Back up!

Saves you tearing your hair out

On a bus journey I was writing a post when I managed to click on an entire folder while navigating the Grav CMS menu. In the moment of confusion that followed I thought it was a new post. Obviously I didn't want to create one, so I hit the Delete button and confirme...
