Updating netlify.toml to use a fresh Hugo. Forgetting that was not good.

Wanted to update my now page, remembered I had some cards with math and Hugo supports rendering LaTeX now.

So as per my usual, a two minute #NowNowNow update resulted in an hour of fiddliness.

Staying out of the way while movers move the stuff.

Moment of drama as Barry evaded room lockup. Had to warn them to keep an eye out for a skittish cat burying himself between the boxes.

Within five minutes a blurry black streak as all that midnight kitty parkour pays off and he launches himself past all three movers before his feet touched floor.

From there — with many loud complaints but very little claw — he let me pick him up and put him in the safe room with his brother.

Holy crap. Helping paralyzed people speak is the kind of experiment gets me deeply curious about AI. https://researchbuzz.masto.host/@researchbuzz/112509354857977346

It’s been an exhausting couple days. A nap would be good.

Noting that for whatever reason, on macOS on wifi and on battery power, Safari gives me a much better browsing experience. Quicker, more responsive, even images load better.

As an added bonus a lot of app-oriented sites don’t work.

As I fork some mayo onto the bread for a sandwich, and think about maybe forking myself a slice of cheesecake from the fridge, it occurs to me that we may have been a little overzealous in packing what with still having a couple days before we leave.

Hardly for the first time in my life, feeling strong Summer School vibes:

“You know what we need, Wonder Mutt? Besides bread.”

49" monitor is en route, so I’m sitting here trying to squeeze maximum pixels into my laptop display.

Whoa hey my script loads my entire Logseq graph. Had to clean up a few entries that Logseq was fine with but were inconsistent with how I try to do things.

I don’t always share my terrible ideas. Here’s one:

If I (or anyone else) did a series of blog posts on learning data science by exploring the Panama Papers, that sure would filter out a lot of employers I (or anyone else) don’t want to work for.

edit because it’s an idea, not a plan. The blog post series from me would be me learning data science by exploring the Panama Papers.

Which could still be fun 🤔
