Hack, hack, hacking

Song of the day:

The Room of Ancillary Dreams, from Harold Budd’s “The Room”

Genre: ambient synth/piano that recalls the year 2000 in a way no other music does. When I interacted with Nathan’s 200-disc CD changer/player at the apartment, it was to dial in this album.

Made bread.

Extremely sleepy. May nap before I have to go for a run.

Finally getting around to hacking my 3DS!

Blogging for #WeblogPoMo2024.

I don't really know what to say to people who want to use technically oriented Mac automation software but don't want to read or "fiddle" with it. I understand not everyone enjoys "fiddling" and some feel it kills their productivity, but those are the people who should stay away from #Obsidian plugins, Keyboard Maestro, Hazel etc. You kinda gotta enjoy messing with that stuff to get the most out of it

We checked out the nearby dog park today, and Jinx had a blast. She even taught some manners to a three-month-old husky/malamute puppy with the biggest paws you’ve ever seen.

Hi there! Just updated my blog on micro.blog. Now I will try to update it also here on omg.lol

Today's main activity: managing my dad's day of cancer treatment. One of my least favorite days of the month. EDIT: oh boy, the worst one yet.

running with a dog park pack: husky puppy, golden retriever, two cattle dogs

My entire morning has been coffee, groceries, and WeblogPoMo. Phew! just sitting down to eat something.

Massage complete, everything back where it should be. We are going to try moving to every 3 weeks as I have been making good progress with my own care between sessions.

Dicing up a beet to put on my salad - while wearing a white shirt. [gasp] Just me, living my comically dangerous lifestyle.

Starting the day with more Eustachian tube dysfunction, as always just in my left ear, and lingering in bed reading saved articles before getting up to go read Pests over breakfast out, and keeping an eye on reviews of the new Kobo devices while still awaiting one of two things that would let me try one out.

It’s May!

People don’t say “epic fail” anymore and thank god for that

Working again

I don’t want a new phone but I kind of want to just wipe my phone so it is fresh again as I think I have a lot of applications and things installed that I don’t need anymore. Just weighing the effort this might take now…. 🤔

Building!

May marks the start of both Mental Health Awareness Month and Older Americans Month. I’ve been trying to update my LinkedIn banner each month in support of these kinds of initiatives. Maybe I’ll do half of the month with one banner, and half with another. Sounds like a plan!

UCLA Campus Erupts in Violent Clashes Amid Pro-Palestinian and Pro-Israeli Demonstrations. See more

My friend mail-ordered a snail. It's ex-cargo.

Giving a presentation this morning.

New laptop!

Heading to the office.

Launched my new weblog on Scribbles:

Where did that come from? It’s raining. The sun was out a few minutes ago.

First #WeblogPoMo2024 post went up last night, so just 30 more to go LOL. Happy Wednesday, y’all.

Sunny first of may

Copilot is so bad at Rust I keep forgetting it can do other things more not bad. Turned Rust structs into markdown tables for docs just by yelling at it. Amazing.

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

« Il sorriso è come un faro nel buio della vita. Non importa quanto possa essere tempestosa la notte, un sorriso può illuminare il cammino, disperdere le nuvole e rivelare le stelle. È un ponte che collega l’anima al corpo, il cuore alla mente. È un linguaggio universale che non conosce barriere. Quando sorridiamo, non solo ci rafforziamo interiormente, ma diamo anche agli altri la forza di continuare. Il sorriso è un dono, un’arma, una medicina. È la chiave che può aprire qualsiasi porta, il sole che può dissipare qualsiasi oscurità. Quindi, quando la vita ti mette alla prova, ricorda di sorridere. Perché un sorriso può cambiare tutto. »

"Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people." - Steve Jobs

Today, the essence of collaboration and unity rings true for businesses. Embrace diverse perspectives within your team to navigate challenges more effectively. The synthesis of different talents leads to innovative solutions and strengthens the bonds among team members, fostering growth and success.

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." - John 15:5 (KJV)

Played pickleball for the first time, then watched Challengers. Currently undefeated. Just saying.

I live my life one tab at a time (j/k two spaces — only two)

Watching storm chaser live feeds is a lot less stressful when they’re not in your neck of the woods.

Our dear friend Rick Lai passed away in his sleep last night.

I've been so tired this week and I don't know why. I've been getting naps in. It might be my anemia acting up again.

Had a relaxing lunch with my boys at .

It’s that time of year where I can lay in bed reading and listening to the birds chirping outside. Bliss

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.

Feierabend

My fastest run from Sunday's #autocross...

I pushed too wide on the entrance and was sloppy through the initial slalom (picking up a cone in the process), but stayed pretty even with my best clean run. I pulled ahead when I was able to carry ~1.5mph more through the last section, and finished with a 0.25s gain. And that pesky cone, which cost me the win.

All in all, a great day of racing!

Wachtkamers...

In shorts.

The cat woke me up at 5:30 this morning. I have a rule, if I get up early I always make myself eggs and bacon. It beats the heck out of my normal bagel and helps me prepare for a day with less sleep!

A utilizar uma rebarbadora para afiar o lápis.

End of the month, so my day today is all admin and logistics. Boo.

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)

I have a train ticket to the east coast, I have a train ticket back to the west coast, and about 6 weeks in between to ride my bicycle.

Slogging through another week, calling boredom "simplicity" to give it some pizzaz.

Preparing for #WeblogPoMo2024!

The Story Of Ricky-Oh is a ~ classic ~ film. It's brutal in the best ways.

Final push for a client office move go-live!

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

Two more days of work until I'll start my 5-week sabbatical. Can't believe it's happening. So much room for activities!

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 😒

Today's article that The Age of Surveillance Capitalism reminded me of: .

Why has this article about Foursquare and similar services been lodged in my brain for 14 years?

“The magic age is people born after 1981,” said Mr. Altman of Loopt. “That’s the cut-off for us where we see a big change in privacy settings and user acceptance.”

C25K w8d1: It's the 28-minute run week. Speeds are still inching up. Probably time to start adding in strength training.

The Last of Us 2 is fucking exhausting. The game should've ended after the time skip with Dina and the baby.

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

Sunday morning coffee is the best type of coffee.

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

Playing Splatoon 3

Don’t sleep on B12.

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

Going to the mall with my family might have not been the best idea with my neck issue right now.

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 🍻

Bird down. A little squab, no more than a day or two old, has died on the balcony in the cold snap.

Feeling rough as a ducks arse.

Putting a project and myself to bed.

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.

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

Hi Scottie Boi

Sunday morning gaming with cat cuddles is the best.

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

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

updating the budget

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! .

Happenstance?

Caramelizing onions

Happy Birthday Slone!

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.

Paris, here I come!

Hello Node Red!

4 days left to decide if i keep glass photo or no...

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

'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.

Performance Evaluation:

1. Meeting expectations : bare minimum of work.
2. 4-4-5-3 Find one thing they are good at and one other thing they can improve on

Kagi's Quick Answers is magic. What AI powered search really should be. Also love the Universal Summarizer - use it all the time!

I still have no use for this account, but I want to have a used for it.

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 💗

As of April 1st, I will be embracing a new role as Full Professor at the University of Hohenheim in the field of Information Systems and Digital Technologies!

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!
