It's been a busy hardfork ramp up, week and ongoing work so far.
We do this once a year so its easy to forget how much work is involved in getting everything set up for it, both in terms of personal witness tech and in relation to Hive in general. Any major milestone for Hive is a massive undertaking by everyone involved. Like always, things could have been done better and with a better lead time from my end, particularly when it comes to communication.
One of the servers had an unexpected hardware issue and crashed the week prior to last, taking with it a good portion of infrastructure. Fortunately nothing was lost and none of the critical pieces were on it. It still took time to resolve and other things ended up being pushed back.
That same week I took vacation (just less hours in) at the behest of my family. Wouldn't recommend doing this kind of thing while under pressure from various sources and long story short (and its not my intention to become a degenerate who only whines about medical problems no one cares about) but I ended up with intermittent sharp pinpoint type migraines during that whole thing. I haven't said anything to almost anyone about that until now in case the situation escalated but it seems to have resolved itself about mid-last week. Until then it made it impossible to focus. Never had anything like that but age is creeping up so its not much I can say here.
Anyhow, that's not that important but what is important is that there are a lot of real positive events and initiatives coming to Hive. As a @valueplan keyholder I am privy to a lot of these; Latin American events are taking off to a point where I wouldn't be surprised if Hive became a household name in some places. We're taking some unexpected avenues in publicity rather than just buying our way in.
Hive is a grass-roots initiative by blockchain enthusiasts that couldn't be bought or sold. That's why everyone who is here is here. Hive is owned by the community and through that public ownership is able to have a genuine impact on local economies. It is not based in any one country and is instead based in every country where our community members reside.
Due to this, these community members take all that Hive has to offer both qualitatively through the human element and quantitatively through monetization and communal funds and action the change they want to see while highlighting Hive. I guarantee you no other technology has free water wells or street workout exhibitions. The world wants to see impact and Hive in itself is the personification of that impact. That's the power of true decentralization. That is how I view it.
I can go on until no end on this topic but I'll spare you. Anyhow, once again, back to the main topic. The api.hive.blue full node is back up in its entirety. You can monitor nodes on Peakd's Beacon https://beacon.peakd.com as needed.
This post took almost a week to write. I start starting and stopping as real issues come up. Writing a post isn't a real issue. It's time consuming and I'm not great at this type of personal expression.
What I need to do is get organized to a professional level and set up some real project planning tools. The way I'm working right now with just cycling through tasks I shouldn't be doing because that's not the right way to set up priority and meet deadlines. Recommendations welcome. I'm not a huge fan of Basecamp or Monday. Others I'll tolerate. Trello potentially although I find it insufficient.
Man, it's been a busy few days. The good thing is that the most complicated part is already solved. My recommendation is that you take vacations more often but for short periods of time. It is necessary to stay strong, we know that Hive is the present, but the best is yet to come. Thank you for your effort and everything you are doing to make possible the adoption of the Hive project in all areas of society.
My friend, I know that you are very interested in everything that has to do with hive and its updates and I really appreciate your efforts and I really appreciate what you are doing.
All the hivers especially those of my city cantaura have great esteem for you.
And please I want you to be aware of that headache that gives you.
As we worked to onboard new people, we didn't discuss the behind the scenes of Hive. Then, in our 2nd round of classes, for Newbies, we'd introduce "witnesses," nodes, the different behind the scenes servers and to a ONE, each person was ALWAYS amazed at how much work goes on to make the platform run.
It's not much but here's a HUGE THANKS, for your work, and for all the work that everyone does, to make the trains run on time
Your working tireless to make sure hive is a great place for everyone. A Decentralized Social media that gives people freedom in all aspects.
HUGE thanks friend for your great work and support all over the world where hive users residing. I know you're so busy even time to time but health is wealth you also need a good time for yourself.
More so, when are we starting our new project
I really appreciate your great effort in the blockchain which is awesome and a work well-done to appreciate in making hive a better place to be for everyone to join and contribute. For the painting lol I would guess @castleberry

Hello, friend hear thanks for your effort and your work for maintaining the platform, that makes me as a member of Hive feels much more commitment, to help this incredible platform. Do not stress much take a break you have to load batteries.
Hey buddy, I didn't know all the work that goes behind the platform and it is very much appreciated, that effort. At one time I worked hard dedicating a lot of time that I got to spend 4 to 5 hours a day and I did it because I always liked that job. You must find satisfaction in what you do knowing that you are satisfying other people.
Hive, in spite of the little time I have, has become the best thing that allows me to share what I do and to share what I do with others, so much so that I have taken two of my children to be part of it. Greetings and thanks for the effort.
Undoubtedly there are times when things do not go well and headaches appear dear friend. Therefore we must always have a space where we can find ourselves to pause and move forward with clearer ideas, also the shelter in the family and children is always very good, there we find peace and calm.
From here in Cumaná I wish you much better, beyond the evolution that you already have, I wish you much more improvement.
Greetings my friend, health and long life above all.
Regarding migraine, it is vitally important to get more than enough rest. Sleeping late at night is not good for you.
We want you to be very well, we know the work you do for all the Hispanic community, and the love with which you do it, so, you have great merit.
My recommendation, could be maybe and just maybe, consider someone to help you with certain tasks, so you can both spend time with the family, as well as rest.
On the other hand, the api is already working quite well, I had been a bit worried about certain glitches, but it is now regulated.
Thank you for that.
We really wish you and your family well, and there are many of us here wishing you well.
We send you a hug.
On another note, I don't know who the author is, but I think I've seen him, did I win?
Ahahaha
