Holy cow. I was able to schedule my doctor’s appointment only one week out. It had been more like 1-3 months.

@devrandom @thegibson I am more familiar with this particular combo of trauma and triumph than I care to admit.

really disappointed by how many URLs point to Chrome applications instead of Web sites.

Catching news on Fedi’s a lot like very early Twitter in that it’s not people sharing the news but people snarking about it, so you use pattern matching and a little deductive reasoning to figure out what’s actually happening.

So — NYC earthquake? Cool!

@phoenix @hobs leaning on public code contributions for candidates tends to filter out people lacking the privileges of spare time and/or prior employers with public codebases, so I consider highlighting it a cautionary note about company culture more than a tip.

No, I don’t have a better idea. It’s one of the fundamentally broken things in our current dev culture, and fixing it changes everything.

@elight @blogdiva @StillIRise1963 sure but with our earthquakes and volcanoes we can just accept our doom and enjoy the view for a minute.

“We’re gonna die.”

“Yep.”

“That magma sure is pretty though.”

“Yep.”

@elight @Rosa @blogdiva @StillIRise1963 probably get air raid sirens when they should be playing out with “We’ll Meet Again” or something.

Comment out line that does a thing while I check logic.

Run code.

Me: “Why didn’t it do thing?!”

Let’s just say I’m not directly experiencing the joy of “the 26th consecutive month of unemployment below 4%.”

Starting what will probably be a very moderately paced binge of the Open Metal Cast podcast from @craigmaloney@octodon.social #RIP

The Logseq → Hugo pipeline inches ever closer to a thing I can actually use.

@rysiek I didn’t know who Lance Ulanoff was when I saw that post, and it’s been long enough that I’d forgotten who he is.

I look forward to forgetting again.

Just need to fix that infinite redirect loop on 2/3 of published pages and we’ll be golden.

@karlhigley May it be an enjoyable transition!

@IamMrsGeek would like it noted for the record how enthusiastically she was bouncing in excitement at the puppy cops
