Updating my LinkedIn info for the new job.

Should probably change the headline too.

Hm.

Ah!

@jaywilliams Valid. This one has something to do with PulseAudio, but I’ll have to wait until after work to fiddle with it.

Just realized a bonus of moving my workspace up to a shared office with @IamMrsGeek

I can give her naked hand puppet shows over the privacy screen while she’s in a meeting.

(the hands are naked not me; ALTHOUGH)

Cats have been locked out of the office while we’re in meetings. Heard some fussing and they were both right outside and insistent on skritches.

Not worrying about Bluetooth at the moment, but at least double-checking audio on the Linux partition before tomorrow’s meetings.

Ah. Glad I waited until today to confirm that when they didn’t specify a timezone for tomorrow’s welcome meeting, they meant their timezone.

Ok! Setting an alarm now for 5:30am tomorrow so’s I don’t forget.

I’m in that “routine-is-changing-what-is-anything” crabbiness and trying not to be to vocal with it because I’m not genuinely angry just kinda jumpy.

but it does leak out sometimes

hackers.town: 2022-01-30 Sun 19:29

Might be doing work-related stuff from the Linux partition so I’m making sure it’s ready.

I might not. Still making sure.

Look I just want to putter ok? Let me have my rationalizations.

Ah, Pop OS. Always cranky about Bluetooth. Oh well. I’ll figure something else out later.

I dread the school levies that are about funding tech. Sure I love tech but it says here you need the money to renew licenses and all I wanna know is which particular licenses.

Not too pumped about funding surveillance / compliance tools, you know?

One last day of marathon onboarding for my replacement. Nokia’s making sure to get every last dollar of value out of my contract, that’s for sure.

Not complaining TBH beyond generic “ugh people.” Thinking how barebones my start was, and glad to make someone else’s better.

@Ventronik Pretty sure there’s a genetic component at this point, because I can trace a line straight from my attitude to the Finnish concept of Sisu.

You do the thing that needs to be done because it needs to be done, not because you expect a big payoff.

Me, a couple minutes ago: “this library is cool and kind of clever, which should have been my first warning sign. Universal rule of code: if it’s clever, it will bite you on the ass sooner or later.”

hackers.town: 2022-01-28 Fri 12:53

I mean all code bites you on the ass eventually, but clever code has so many teeth.

Goodness I may dislike that templating language, but it’s hard to match anything against Hugo’s 700ms average build time on a cleaned-up version of my site.

But I’m having fun with the JavaScript too. Maybe I’ll mash them both together by using Site.js, which supports Hugo under the hood for fancier static sites.

Crow outside using our chimney as a hard surface to break up food. Very loud bangs.

Me, stepping outside and looking up at said chimney: “Do you mind?”

[Crow quietly picks up food fragment and flies off]

I don’t know the folks who run Spotify. I don’t know what drives them. But from everything I’ve seen from them ever, I would’ve been downright shocked if they chose Neil Young over Joe Rogan.

Hell I have to go out of my way to find music there. It’s MTV all over again.

Little tourist moments in #EuroTruckSimulator2. Graffiti at the statue’s base caught my eye so I looked it up and https://www.bigstockphoto.com/image-204062644/ says “ORSOVA ROMANIA - 09.01.2017: Danubia statue the monument of the victims of the communist system” though its tag’s a bit more pointed.

Introvert vs extrovert is insufficient. I dislike interacting with unfamiliar humans. Downright anxiety, right?

But I’ve been doing infodumps with my replacement 4h daily all week. Loved it. Scheduled more for next week.
