One of the skills I’ve had to build: tuning in to the folks I’m talking to so I can tell if they understood me or if I’m speaking my own special version of English again.

Talking about current usage of “Asperger’s” vs “autism spectrum disorder” and best I could come up with is “today, Asperger’s is almost exclusively used to rationalize why someone’s an asshole.”
Brought Jack back from the vet sufficiently drugged up that we aren’t supposed to feed him tonight, but he is now sufficiently recovered that he’s making the most desperate mewing counterpoints.
Figured out tree-sitter sufficiently to get Astro files all pretty in Neovim.
It’s on now.

Two brief but memorable power outages last week means that I finally caved and now own a UPS. Already thinking another separate one for her half of the office.

@sohkamyung oh um yes that is an excellent tip. Thank you!
Reminding myself I don’t need to keep all 3,130 test assertions about this site iteration once the dust settles. A few are just for consistent cleanup.

@Truck @feoh@cybre.space I also lean towards the “tasks and notes together” workflow. My version uses Logseq.
That said, Taskwarrior is part of my toolkit. As a constant putterer I have things like a Telegram bot for mobile usage, and a Python script to link notes with the personal wiki.
Meeting in half an hour so brain decides this is a good time to apply updates on the work laptop.

And true to form for macOS, it’s been “about five minutes remaining” for oh about half an hour now.
Well time to continue ignoring the work laptop I suppose!
