Ian Robinson's Weekly Digest - 18th April 2021

A short post this week. With just three items, one film, and pointers to six music releases that I liked.

What is a Load Balancer? | Lightboard Techtalk - Frank Yue - Link

A good basic overview video on YouTube by Frank Yue of Kemp on what a Load Balancer does to ensure application availability and performance.

Icelandic Volcano - More Drone Video - Link

Some more drone footage from the Icelandic volcano. Shot by Brian Emfinger. It’s still erupting. There are multiple cones now.

The Entire Backlist Ever – Summed Up! - Claire North (née Catherine Webb) - Link

I love Claire North’s books. I’ve read all of them published under that pen name. I haven’t read any of those published under her other author names. This list she has written about all of all her books is a great overview of them all. Highly recommend this post, and the books themselves.

It looks like the cinemas in Northern Ireland will be opening in June. I get my second Pfizer vaccine shot on the 5th of June, so from the 20th, I’ll be fully inoculated and can start seeing at least one film per week in the cinema again. Until then, I’m continuing with intermittent watching of new films at home. This week delivered a good one.

Palm Springs - another time loop film. I love them. This is the second one this year that will likely end up on my best films of 2021 list, along with The Map of Tiny Perfect Things.
