Been sick the last couple days. Unsurprising after a week in Vegas. Modest fever confirmed, so it’s not just me being wimpy. At least it’s not COVID, according to home swab test.

Oh, and I’m working up yet another Emacs config reset, to simplify the learning process while reading Mastering Emacs. Using better-defaults as the core.

Much more modest than my nano-based config. For now, at least. I’ll add it to my config pages eventually. First I need to catch up with work stuff.

Roughly four hours of sleep in roughly 5-20 minute increments. That’s not fun.

But I have showered, taken every relevant drug I could find in the house, and she made me some ginger tea which is very soothing.

@welshpixie lots of vivid dreams. I think my brain shoved me into REM as fast as it could each time. I feel crappy and my body is exhausted from all that movement, but I feel better rested than you’d expect from speed-running through 25 naps.

She’s sick too so between the two of us the house is a cacophonous chorus of coughing.

There is no such thing as an ex-developer. The black mark will follow you forever. It will stain your soul after you die, preventing entrance to heaven without a whiteboard interview.

@thegibson the whiteboard interview was too far wasn’t it
