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

Anyways we're married now.

Look out zombies.

[looks at notes for tomorrow's talk]

huh

I think –

hang on

[looks again]

Yeah. I think this might actually work.

Left and right were ever so slightly out of sync on an audio stream. That was disorienting but kind of cool.

Oh hey that's right I have a Deckset license.

Helps to double check installed apps every once in a while.

Thirteen years on Steam and I'm up to two reviews.

I didn't have much to say. Still don't really, but getting a bit more willing to say it out loud.

So I've got a talk day after tomorrow loosely based on the promise of a handful of whimsical tweets.

Better make some slides.

Better figure out what I'm talking about.

In a wildly out of character moment for me, marked myself as out tomorrow for work.

I can feel the brain fuzzies coming on. No need to make them worse with attempts at productivity.

Day after 2nd jab. My sweetie's been pretty much wiped out all day. I've been fine as long as I don't move too much or think too hard.

Until just now. 71F and I'm experiencing chills.

They're electrifying.

Well. It's all for the greater good.

Why?

Uh.

Oh right I'm talking to Perl people in a few days. Thought I'd get some practice in, even though they didn't ask for that.

Mojolicious + htmx is almost disturbingly easy. Well, the core bits are. Set up your hx-get and hx-target attributes in the link, and in the Mojo response just don't set a layout for the template.

Very proof-of-concept, but still. Neat.

First post-vaccination order of business: an unstoppable two hour nap.

Done.

We got our second jab done.

Literally the only time this contractor shows up on time to work on the house is the time we could've handled him being an hour late.

Twenty minutes, even.

Hell, we could've made do with two minutes.

Hugo's fine but I needed to try something new

I AM AN AUTOMATION ENGINEER BOB WHAT DID YOU EXPECT THIS IS WHY THEY HIRED ME

Having a meeting with someone responsible for managing resources and it suddenly occurs to me that I wish we used the word "steward" more often in tech because that's what he is.

Starting some rough symmetry in Procreate.

Well my code now does exactly what it did three days ago. On the bright side, it use a lot more code to to it.
