I've been wearing monthly contacts for 3 years now. I take them out each night and soak them in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution (Clear Care), and dispose of them on the first of the month.
I highly value my sight, so I have a routine which makes me feel comfortable with sticking things in and touching my eyes twice a day. My optometrists have always told me to avoid using water, saliva, etc, to clean the lenses, and so I do.
1. Wash my hands with soap and water, and usually scrub my fingernails with a brush.
2. Grab a fresh paper towel and pat dry my hands to sop up the water. Rubbing my hands with the paper towel, in my opinion, could leave fragments which could transfer to my eye / behind the contact.
3. Open the contact container, pull out the right lens, close the contact container.
4. Insert the right lens.
5. Repeat step 3 with left lens.
6. Clean up the area with the paper towel from step 2.
I regularly (nearly every day) shower with the lenses in, though while I make an effort to avoid getting water in my eyes, splashes obviously happen. I've also spent weeks vacationing and swimming in the ocean with the lenses in.
It is my hope that by removing and disinfecting the lenses each night I can ward off infections while also minimizing inconvenience.
Hey Dave - Kyle here. Awesome to see Patiobar used! Looks like a lot of the steps to get it all working were related to Patiobar. I've been meaning to add a 'setup' script to the repo for a while now which does the `npm` and `mkfifo`, creates a default pianobar config (if one doesn't already exist), fixes the TLS fingerprint, etc. If you're interested, feel free to message me.
Senior DevOps / Operations / Infrastructure Engineer with 10 years of experience in Linux administration and 5 years in DevOps / Configuration Management / Automation.
I can do 'all things Linux / FOSS', and more. I've built both large-scale private clouds and all of the supporting infrastructure, as well as datacenter-grade VPCs in AWS.
Currently building and scaling AWS environments with Ansible, and doing 'all things ops and security'. I have approximately 20 hours per week of availability currently, and would love to help you build your startup or automate a pesky problem.
Experience with:
- Chef, Puppet and Ansible
- AWS, vmWare and vSphere, Docker, LXC
- Networking - firewalls, switching, security
- Infrastructure services (e.g. DNS, DHCP, DDNS)
- Most FOSS application (e.g. apache, nginx, mysql, postfix)
- Datacenter buildouts
- Hardware automation - experience with cobbler, PXE, netbooting, and HP Blade centers.
- Full stack engineering (CakePHP, PHP, AngularJS)

This is why I left my 'dream job' of work working on a AAA MMORPG. I came on board early on as the first member of a 'NetOps' team, a senior linux systems administrator, which later split off and grew into a number of very large, very specialized teams. My loose definition of 'dream job' at that time was 'large scale' and 'video games'. Cool!
It took a few years for me to redefine what a 'dream job' really meant, and being a drop in a bucket was not it, so I left and moved on (slowly) to freelancing, and haven't looked back.
Low power CPU, plenty of RAM, large enough SSD, 1080p, and a matte screen. As I spend most of my time in remote SSH terminals, the Core M doesn't bother me. It is lightweight and fast enough.
I am looking forward to the updated Zenbook, supposed to be released this quarter.

Wait, what? This is AngularJS? I'm a SysAdmin / DevOps guy that has recently taken up Web Development, spending the last year or so getting neck deep in AngularJS.
This looks and feels entirely different, and I don't care to start from scratch.
Senior DevOps / Operations / Infrastructure Engineer. I can build private and public clouds, automate your deployments and infrastructure, do full stack engineer, and everything in between.
