I swear these shots are the two seconds right before a truly epic fight scene between us and the quarantine zombie horde.

HOW WAS THIS TEST EVER PASSING

sorry

code angst

#KEXP has been playing selections I often have in my emergency mental health playlist all day, and for good reason.

So weird being confident enough in my abilities to say "No, you want somebody else to do that."

It's just – I know what I know, and I know that ain't it.

Uh oh. I'm getting used to how awesomewm does things.

That's gonna play hell with my expectations on every single other desktop I sit in front of.

The kexp.org playlist is all over the place this morning. *I love it.*

mood for sure

(also, filmed a block or two from where we live)

having a very ee cummings satori as i realize typos are punctuation

Homebrew on Ubuntu on WSL on Windows. It's not inception. It's just my brand.

`brew upgrade` insists on compiling rust and there's my CPU for the rest of the day

And if Dolly Parton pulls a Milkshake Duck (perish the thought) I'm reasonably certain she would make amends and then there'd be an amazing duet or something.

If I typed "perl sqitch" I meant "perl sqitch" — I wish search engines would stop trying to be helpful once the search words hit a certain threshold of weirdness.

That includes DDG.

awesomewm gets a little cranky when you forget to define the modkey.

Played Stellaris for a bit. Starting to get comfortable with it.

Kind of says something about the learning curve that not quite 30% of Steam players have the achievement adding your first colony.

Just got back from being therapeutically bludgeoned with scalding rocks. I highly recommend the experience.

A neighbor's playing guitar. And singing.

Putting my headphones on before I accidentally open the window and share my unfiltered opinion at full volume.

Well, okay. Turns out the shiny new CPU was *not* compatible with my motherboard, and also motherboards don't like being messed with a lot, but several hours later I once again have the computer I had this morning.

Soon, though. Soon.
