Two years ago today I lost my cat Willow to the fatal combination of her degenerative mystery and my autistic incapacity to be capitalistically productive, and this would have been a good day to be able to engage in some hollow but distracting retail therapy but no such luck yet.

thank you for the flowers and the book by Derrida

Looking forward to writing/blogging later today or tomorrow, brain is still a bit foggy from the week and writing will help to sort things out.

I've never felt the need for window management software (Moom, Rectangle, Divvy). 90% of the time I just run my apps maximized and ALT+TAB between them. When I have two monitors, I usually have VM running on monitor#2, so I don't have any configurations for that setup either.

Working

Out and about enjoying this beautiful day here in East Tennessee.

I just signed up for omg.lol -- now what?

I sat down for a minute from my bike ride and looked up to see a bald eagle flap slowly over the Elwha River’s turquoise stream.

Chaotic workday. What else is new? Hoping to have the ability to just skim over top of it with ease.

It is raining today and it is great.

Just blogged on Mozilla Hacks about our progress with llamafile, the easiest and fastest way to run open LLMs on your own hardware:

I woke up late this morning, for me. I went out late to listen to music and watch fireworks (after having already fallen asleep). It was a pleasure to see families out and about enjoying themselves. And the fireworks were good.

Hey Johnny Decimal nerds with Obsidian:

Episode 109 is out!

Listening to the Empire Records soundtrack today.

Feeling better. Catching up.

I’m still not entirely sure what to do with this service. It’s a micro blog but you can’t follow people specifically or reply? I t’s just a fire hose? 🤔

Trying to keep it together.

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.

I can already tell this is going to be a busy week with activities… Tonight another Hockey game let’s go.. Edge!

Nursing a bad back after a fall while ice skating. Hopefully no serious damage.

Such a pretty day today. Working from the back porch 👨🏻‍💻

I'm so tired today I'm drinking my coffee and a red bull at the same time...

« [...] Tu pensa a un pianoforte. I tasti iniziano. I tasti finiscono. Tu lo sai che sono 88 e su questo nessuno può fregarti. Non sono infiniti, loro. Tu sei infinito, e dentro quegli 88 tasti la musica che puoi fare è infinita. Questo a me piace. In questo posso vivere. Ma se io salgo su quella scaletta, e davanti a me si srotola una tastiera di milioni di tasti, milioni e miliardi di tasti, che non finiscono mai, e questa è la verità, che non finiscono mai... Quella tastiera è infinita. Ma se quella tastiera è infinita allora su quella tastiera non c'è musica che puoi suonare. E sei seduto sul seggiolino sbagliato: quello è il pianoforte su cui suona Dio.

Current weekend project is moving my x86 hetzner box to arm! Can't resist the price savings.

Made it through my first week back after a whole week of being sick. Still have residual fatigue. Hopefully this passes…

updating the budget

I just walked into a pole for the first time in my life. Is that some kind of life achievement?

Run off the bike

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! .

Biking again after a month of pause.

Happenstance?

Happy Birthday Slone!

A lovely week in Noosa but back to blissfully rainy and cold Newcastle tomorrow.

Watching the last Kraken game of the year.

The walk to the bar counts as exercise.

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 finished reading How to keep house while drowning by KC Davies last Friday. Very appropriate since depression has been winning over the last few weeks.

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

Dune Part 2 was great!

Five consecutive days waking up at 5am. Applying for a provisional membership in the 5amClub

It's a good day when you need to create a folder called "Kung Fu" for really any reason.

Blessed my wonderful family and friends 🥰

Hyper bowling today was fun, I started off strong but beaten by the kids in the last game!

Can I toot this?

I’m not at all sorry that I have a strong and sincerely-held belief that, no matter how well-intentioned it may be, a state of the state address by a state governor in a statehouse surrounded by state representatives and state senators and state cabinet members and state Supreme Court justices all paid for with state tax dollars should not begin with a prayer in Jesus’s name. There is no place for such a ritual in a public address.

Cleaning the house

Working on prints, cool client projects and discovering Obsidian.

So MREs do go bad

Guh. Too tired today

Was heading outside this morning and saw it was dumping rain. Thought hey my grass and micro clover seeds are going to love that. Felt less guilty about forgetting to water them last night.

Back to the Hochschule: My new course on web-technologies starts today.

Would it keep you awake if it all just didn't seem so far away?
'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.

Feierabend

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!

joining the 21st century and making my blogroll into more than just a markdown list

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.

Ending a weekend full of resting - a ton of Dragon’s Dogma 2, a bit of LAD: Infinite Wealth, so much basketball watching, some Vampire Diaries, and even watched a movie. Felt good, y’all.

Performance Evaluation:

1. Meeting expectations : bare minimum of work.

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 💗

Oh no! It’s the school holidays. I’m on DadOps duty. And I’m down to my last two coffee filters!! What do I do? Eat the beans whole and raw? Use a tea strainer or muslin cloth?!Grind them and spread it on toast?!! SEND HELP!!!!!

Guess I’m going to Dallas in June.

Does anyone know if there’s a way, through iOS shortcuts, that I could set up a weekly repeating omg.lol status update. I’d like to post a weekly disclaimer reminder on my LinkedIn. Right now I’ve got statuses linked to a 3rd party that pushes to LinkedIn, but I’m not sure how to repeat the same status each week.

March 28 was my #OMGLOL anniversary... and I forgot to do anything for it, because I was deep in #StardewValley. Whoops!

Saved! And leaving Typhon forever. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Long time, no status.

Enjoying being on holiday, and not having to set the alarm.

Time to start rewatching Stranger Things!

My dad just had eye surgery. Although it was a small procedure, I think it initially shook him up a bit. However, once it was done, I could sense his relief from how talkative he was lol.

Setting up my Scribbles blog

Got some good stuff done yesterday. Today too.

Waiting for the weather to warm up.

Roasted two beautiful batches of coffee this weekend: 250g of Sumatra Giling Basah Aceh Bebesen Aulia for espresso and 700g of Kenya Nyeri Chinga AB for pour overs.

I was finally able to go for a run after being sick for a week!
