Working on a post about my new website rebuild that I launched and didn’t say anything about...

S04E05: Rekindling Culture and Healing History: A Dialogue on Decolonization and Indigenous Land Connection with James W. Perkinson and S. Lily Mendoza

been dealing with so much back pain this past week...make it end 😭

Trying to do too much since 1986.

Bit windy today, and the sun almost couldn’t be any brighter. Jinx enjoyed running around and exploring the river edge again.

Today is all about a last-minute but also overdue exam appointment with my urologist, and all of the attendant anxieties surrounding it, which at best will lead back to the existing consensus of surgery, that I can’t actually have because Medicaid doesn’t provide for a “surgery-day” person.

I love it when people buy parts for their computers but buy the wrong one... slows down my work!

Work

Back to work I go today.

Break.

Only two weeks left until AP boards!

MedMastodon

Hayfever is no fun, even if I do try and put on a brave face when the attacks come.

We have just been to the supermarket and I was considering moving in permanently. The air conditioning filtered everything irritable out of the air, and for a few minutes I felt as though I was back to my normal self.

This is fine "The disruption of UniSuper services was caused by a combination of rare issues at Google Cloud that resulted in an inadvertent misconfiguration during the provisioning of UniSuper’s Private Cloud, which triggered a previously unknown software bug that impacted UniSuper’s systems."

My copy of Diddy Kong Racing arrives tomorrow and I am so excited! I never owned it growing up but always loved playing it and trying to compete it in the tiny rental window.

Working toward a challenging project.

Smelled a good smelling dog today.

According to the report I just got from Apple, since September 18, 2009, I've downloaded 1640 apps from the App Store (iOS and macOS) and spent $5657.14. I'm glad my wife is not on Mastodon.

Back to the grindstone after a phenomenal weekend. Today: logistics and negotiation.

i think web components have started to click with me

« La decisione più difficile è quella di agire, il resto è solo tenacia. Le paure sono tigri di carta. Puoi fare qualsiasi cosa tu decida di fare. Puoi agire per cambiare e controllare la tua vita; e il procedimento, il processo, è la sua ricompensa. »

Amelia Earhart

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." - Walt Disney

In a landscape of uncertainties, the key business insight for today revolves around resilience and transformation. It's about embracing challenges as opportunities to grow and innovate. Businesses that actively adapt to changes not only survive but thrive, finding new paths forward in seemingly difficult circumstances. Let this be a day of decisive action over idle talk, a time for pioneering strategies rather than adhering strictly to conventional wisdom.

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:19

Next attempt to test my knee and run again.

Duck Dodge Season!

So far I've made every day of #weblogpomo2024! Excited about that! See for the posts!

Sadly, the already rough week has further worsened. Hopeful that tomorrow breaks our way.

I am also not going to space today.

Productive evening assembling two Ikea BILLY bookcases. Time to read a bit.

Enjoying the rare pleasure of "here's a hot take I can toot!" evolving into "I should elucidate in a full blog post" devolving into "No, a toot will do after all!" and landing on "Jesus Christ, nobody cares what I think about iPads."

Landed in Detroit at gate A75 and now get the privilege of walking to gate A03… Guess I will get my steps in today.

Turns out I do have a final exam for my Biology class. It was posted on the syllabus! I'll knock it out later this week.

Cooking a green curry with rice

I played Indika in one sitting yesterday. It kept me captivated. Truly unlike anything I've played before, I wouldn't even know where to begin with comparisons. It's dark, often humorous, as weird as they come, and ultimately gutting. I enjoyed every second of it.

6 countries. 12 Armies. Surrounded by larger forces on all sides. But I'm feeling pretty good about my chances. #RISK!

It’s commencement day! Congratulations graduates!

Contemplating whether or not to mow the lawn. I want to take part in “no mow May”, but it should probably start off slightly shorter than it currently is…

Eindelijk...

Managed to run.

The truth still matters, even when it’s inconvenient.

I’m remembering the trouble I had routing on the fly last year and am taking a moment to learn how to use my stuff.

I now exist on omg.lol!

Trying to rest after having to work during GW.

Beating back the depression with a bustling round of cleaning up.

Having one of those Sundays where nothing sounds good to do/eat. I want to be motivated but I also don’t.

No Lovecraft Ezine Podcast today. I will attempt to get back on track next week.

Lights out in Miami!

Having a mellow Sunday morning at a cafe.

Very humid.

Got another tattoo.

Memories of "Memories of Green"

Enjoying my Sunday.

Any day I get to use my Flipper for awesome is a good day.

Gonna see Spaceballs at a local cinema this afternoon. Tickets were dirt cheap. May the Schwartz be with you!

If you're visiting from The Browser Company, 👋🏻

Have been watching the Fallout TV series. I'm 3 episodes in, and I'm enjoying it very much. Have the itch to go back to playing Fallout 4 or Fallout 76.

Feeling better overall, but this lingering cough can take a hike.

I have survived Whole Foods at 4:30 on a Friday, saints be praised.

Pizza Friday is the best

Hatte vorhin gesehen, dass der Wind die grad eingepflanzte Gurkenpflanze umgeweht hat und wollte die eben wieder aufrichten… da hatte die sich bereits um die Blätter der daneben stehenden Tomatenpflanze gewickelt. 😳

Great article about Facebook, AI clickbait and people's ability to discern what's real:

I use Social Fixer to read Facebook on my computer, but actually post to Facebook on my iPad. If I make the mistake of scrolling down, I'm bombarded with garbage. The more I read The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, the more I want to move away from it, but there's no good substitute yet.

need to stop making this late nights a habit... i wish you all you lovely people a good nights sleep!

Actively job hunting. I’d like to continue my career as a Senior Technical Writer. Remote positions only. Thanks if you help in anyway.

Converted all my kindle books to epub and bought some more to read on my Kobo. Today is already productive.

Overground delayed as usual so I popped into Cafe Nero at Stratford Station for a double espresso. The coffee is worse than the overcrowded train.

Playing should be working

New top streak. Not done my backups for 300 days.

Listening to the In The Blood Book on Tape

Big, fuzzy bumblebees are cool. Hope they're all having a good day today.

WeblogPoMo is on the way!

Done with the editing. On to living.

Enjoying the May flowers.

Put a bird on it!

Voted.

Now I have a #scraper that pulls a sud-ouest in PDF for me every day, with the help of #BNF's passe lecture, some python, some rust and some temporal...

I will participate in #WeblogPoMo2024, a blogging challenge that will last for the month of May.

Well. That interview did not go well.

Just went for a run for the fist time in... ever?

I am not sure why Comcast thinks it’s worthwhile to call me 4 times a day after I cancelled service. If it’s so important leave a voicemail. Will decide then if I want to speak with you.

Google’s connected speakers and hubs are actually useful (unlike Alexa and Siri…), but it’s really hard when you’re super angry about something and have to mumble “Hey Google …” through gritted teeth. Just let us change the wake phrase.

(Yes I know some devices/command combinations don’t require a wake phrase but who has time to learn which)

Preparing for #WeblogPoMo2024!

so excited for the new logo. it looks really neat!

okay so everything is mostly up. still deciding on yuu.みんな's layout and then make copies of everything so it has a space.

The smell of sun cream 🌞

Feeling lucky, having the means to do my monthly and weekly plan in such a beautiful scenery.

All Arsenal now has to do is win rest of their games and hope ManCity at least draws one of theirs if not lose. But all ManCity has to do is win their remaining matches 😒

Just got back from the Mexican restaurant where I enjoyed some fish tacos. Now I'm sitting on the back patio, trying to finish up this Sleep Token blog post.

I feel peaceful yet I feel like I am going to erupt

Just cooked the worst Pad Thai humanity has ever seen.

Enjoying a nice family break on the island of #Terschelling. Will be posting some pictures of this beautiful Island in the near future.

Sunday morning coffee is the best type of coffee.

A little Sunday afternoon nap is the best sort of nap.

Until today, I don’t think I’ve ever walked out of a movie as an adult. Sasquatch Sunset changed that. 😂

writing week notes for the first time. this is fun

Done with Shogun and Fallout, let's give Reina Roja a try

We had wonderful Greek food in Filo in Kraków, Poland. It rains from time to time so that's a small issue.

Back on my funemployment bullshit

I’m off to the pub, I may be some time 🍻

Found an Olympus 24mm F3.5 Shift lens at a store near me, in a “museum” display case. I am trying to convince them to sell it to me, I must own it.

That's a different thing.

Work, work, work, work, work.

Getting started with Tailscale. I'm very excited about the possibilities

Putting a project and myself to bed.

Bookmaking class is so fun, I'm enjoying it so much. The mostly likely way I'll use this skill is to make sketchbooks for myself, but I was commenting in class that it can be frustrating when you have a nice sketchbook but screw up a page. Turns out our teacher has a class on that exact topic next month: techniques for covering a botched page in your sketchbook. Guess I'll be taking an art class in May, too! Oh darn. Twist my arm.

But I don’t want to be an adult today…

blog post?

Playing 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and diving into the story

Once again in the 10+ person prescription pick up line at Bartell's. An old woman asked someone to mark her place so she could sit down. In the short term there should be a take a number system; in the long run we need to talk as a society about pharmacy deserts like we talk about food deserts

HealthCare #Pharmacy

About to start streaming. Unfortunately, no Drehmal today, as Tamber is feeling sick, and Kevin is prepping for a big move and getting some personal time in. So I might play a few things, starting with Voices of The Void as my usual go-to! .

Shots fired.

Watching Fallout

Back at work. yeeeeaaaaawwwweeeeee

Okay. Fastmail is cool. I've been using it for a while now, but I only just realised that the way I have things set up, not only does it not matter what goes before the @, but I can have an unlimited depth of subdomains. As long as it ends with my domain, I'll get the email.

I think I’ve reached my annual limit of backed Kickstarter projects

I go visit a friend, they serve me tuna sandwiches and I like them. Next time I’m at the store I buy cans of tuna. Today, I organize my cabinets and throw out years old expired cans of tuna. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s been a long time since I rode the ferry. It’s still so nice to go into the city this way.

Just finished Audible's recently released version of 1984. Terrific performances all round, a chilling experience from a chilling source material.

Every once in a while open the former bird app; it’s a bad habit i haven’t gotten rid of yet. I regret opening it every single time.

I hate the sun. Moon powers.

If you need people off their phones, you simply need to block out the sun. Cloudflare Radar reports up to a 60% drop in internet traffic during the eclipse.

Feeling overwhelmed

'Cause it keeps me awake, trying to work this out until my dying day

A lil tired rn

First 5K of the year! LOL

Just tried removing the CSS from my site in preparation for #CSS_Naked_Day, it was just a bunch of ginormous SVGs. I think I'll skip participating this year.

Going back in time

I'm about to watch the eclipse

The weekend off had quickly gone, and this week I have a pretty busy schedule. Starting with a 16 hours shift.

Nice to have a week at home between business trips. I try to space out travel to no more than once per month, but this month just stacked up for me. Gotta enjoy the time at home while I can!

I finally finished my exams and entered the Ramadan holiday, I plan not to go to my family and spend a holiday with my friends.

Spending the (finally) dry and sunny weekend cleaning up the back patio, getting rid of all the weeds that popped up along with the winter's grime on tables and chairs. Such fun.

Lazy morning in bed beside the cats 💗

Taking another short break from social media.

I seem to have forgotten how to write online.
