Is it weird that it is nearly 70° outside and I want hot chocolate?

Got rejected for a job application that I’m 100% qualified for.

oh my god what is happening

Wondering why I've had so much more interaction on Mastodon as opposed to BlueSky and Threads when I post there. Seems like Mastodon is just full on my kind of people - Indieweb types with a tech background and an absence of malice.

Becoming such a total Zoom-maxing weirdo that it's affecting my wallpaper choices. Gotta nail the white balance.

Not sure why but I decided I would update my today since I haven't for a while. Not too much has changed but it got me thinking instead of a now page. Should I just create a blog post with a tag of Now and refresh it every week or two to see how things progress or changed.

Buying a new car is always so damned stressful. Glad this round is over!

Woke feeling disconnected from the day and entirely unsure how the day should proceed, including when to watch today’s Red Sox game, so spent time filling out a followup research survey on autistic outcomes and now need to try to solve the disconnect at least enough to get out of bed.

Having afternoon coffee and working on a blog post about Sleep Token.

I've been playing quite a lot of Palia lately, trying to level up my skills and redecorate my house. I'm disheartened by the recent news of layoffs and the way it's performing on Steam. It does need work in some respects, but I love the community, and it's engaging enough to keep me coming back.

Adding status.lol to my micro.blog

I was able to get my school stuff sorted out, but only because my biology professor stepped in and got the ball rolling. I gave up on my Communications class because the teacher isn't...very great specifying certain aspects. I wouldn't mind taking that class again in the future, but with a different instructor.

Time to work

They’re cleaning the streets here now! So much better afterwards.

Today is a day to embrace change and adaptability. An emphasis on discernment and precision will lead toward optimizing processes and refining strategies. Trust in the process, focus on improvement, and growth follows not only from leveraging strengths but also from addressing areas that require enhancement.

Got to use the word shibboleth

sat down to do some work and immediately forgot what I wanted to work on...taking that as a sign. Time to call it a day!

Re-watching one of my all-time favorite shows: Band of Brothers.

Working at the coffee shop today. Love being WFH but these house breaks are a must.

Walking alone in the cold morning finally reminds me of childhood

I’ve not really checked out omg.lol’s weblog service… thinking I might dive in this afternoon. 🧐

Settled in to a nice groove, not too deep.

this day’s been a week

I have never played a Touhou game and likely never will, but Bad Apple is still a sacred piece of media to me.

Just set up my own Forgejo Instance, mirroring most of my GitHub repositories, and possibly a home for other projects too. Visible to anyone at:

Back at work. yeeeeaaaaawwwweeeeee

Got access to Gemini via my employer. It’s insanely useful when authoring huge documents.

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.

Working on finding grounding and fill my cup. I’ve been in my own way quite a bit recently.

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.

I hate the sun. Moon powers.

Hello Node Red!

It’s pouring outside, and not particularly warm either - Spring, from a few days ago appears to have taken a leave of absence. Right now I am grateful for a roof over my head, and heating in the home.

Led a group of people in our church through the introduction to a new study called Fundamentals of the Faith tonight. I am excited to see the growth it yields.

We went to Washington DC last week! Here's the runs I did:

Gorgeous 22°c autumn afternoon for a walk. Lot of people getting their insta content in the late afternoon sun along the river.

Falling asleep to my M's, per usual.

Hitting some kind of stride. I think. Maybe. Maybe it's because spring is in the air..

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

Finally got fiber. I’m going to download the whole Internet.

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!

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.

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 💗

Finished up Masters of the Air and now moved on to Shogun - another brilliant show! And I have Loot s2 to keep things light…

Oh yeah

I've been going all in on puzzles for the past month, it's surprising. Years ago, you'd never catch me playing a crossword on purpose. Now, it's what I do every morning before I even get out of bed.

🌊 and 🌳 make for a perfect holiday.

Going to a show.

Messing with the omg.lol for the first time in a while.

Today: We have lost

I spent this afternoon cleaning all our balcony windows for our rental inspection tomorrow and oh boy if the weather hasn't just changed to 4 days of non-stop rain.

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.

How do you mis-measure the three point line for a major championship regional tournament? That seems like something the NCAA would check.

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.

Wow time really does fly

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.

Good mornafterning, Masto friends!

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

The long weekend is almost upon us!

Having way too much fun tweaking my website.

Packing my stuff for a week of work and travel.

Another Mastodon user got in on the action and matched my donation. Today we gave away two 1-year omg.lol gift codes.

That was fun. 🙂

Spring Break was more like "broken" than "break" than anything else. Lots of doctor appointments and other similar fun stuff…

Started a new Scribbles blog

Well, I think that was easy enough. Happy that worked out.

Testing the omg.lol API!

Learning to type faster is a lot of fun.

Just bought a new pair of sunglasses! very happy with it!

Countdown is on for DI 2025. Sorry you missed the 2024 Virginia tournament, but you can volunteer right now.

This weekend I finished reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and it's had quite an impression on me. It inspired further research into the topic and kept me engaged every time I reached for the book. Quite thought provoking and motivating even if I may not agree 100%. Super interesting to explore different points of view and question my own opinions. Next up: "The 4-hour workweek".

Took some test shots for Sussexhenge. It went pretty well.

Just received the Hobonichi Techo 2024 cousin notebook in the mail! It was packaged beautifully and has some unexpected heft.

Now all that's left is to stick it on my shelf and never use it the rest of the year.

Finally cleaning up online websites!

Hi internet! I am testing omg.lol, but so far can't really figure out how to use it.

Coffee then I hope to be done with every component on Pas-Isel except potentiometers and jacks. Probably will switch from water soluble to no-clean solder at that point anyway.

I won't ever suggest you spend a year of your life working on an experimental documentary in case it completely falls apart, but I do suggest you keep everything and continue to make small games that give you hits if gender euphoria and keep your hope alive.

In fact, I highly highly highly suggest Downpour, which gets out of your way and lets you build a game in a few minutes:
