I blog so others can suffer too.Keep me posting
All right. There’s my first coffee consumed. This way there’s enough to make a blog post after the fact.
Time for work.
Whenever the topic of task estimates come up, I remember a line from “Twice Upon a Time (1983)”
Ralph: This may take a while. In fact, this may take — a lot of whiles.
kinda awkward when the one with adhd is the one reminding everyone to stay on track
guess maybe because they are intimately familiar with what “sidetracked” looks like
(This is multiple contexts, BTW. Not a snapshot of any particular moment in my life.)
Made the mistake of linting my site markdown

That might be more of an ongoing side project rather than an evening task.
Eating breakfast at breakfast time, which is a promising start.
@thegibson I believe the traditional singing of a verse of “Jesus Ain’t Take Me Yet So Fuck Y’all” is appropriate.
@thegibson well that gets shared on FB for my old church crowd.
If ever I blurted out an appropriate epitaph it was at this sprint retro:
A little bit of weekend puttering with Zola, libvips, and the Superkube SCSS framework.
It’s fun! I may even go live with this one eventually.
Zola has fewer features than Hugo. And it’s slower — by about a second. 1.8s to build.
I do love using Tera for templating. And fewer features means I use exactly the right external tool rather than try to get close enough with SSG features.
Had some fun with a Zola version of my site. Got an idea for a thumbnail / social image thing with libvips and fd but I’m too tired to try it now. Hopefully it still sounds interesting tomorrow.
Kinda confusing to use Playwright without the intermediate Python layer.
@kf I’m bouncing back and forth between ideas, but if this one makes any forward progress I’ll post!
Brain’s off to a rough start for executive functionality today. Tried an experiment where I said so during standup.
Calculated risk, since I already know it’s the best team. But yeah folks were cool.
Feels good. Better than when I mask through it poorly.
@rottenmeier Looking forward to it! Loved what I saw of it before, but “no pause” is a gaming blocker for me, what with unpredictable local distractions.
#HelpfulHint: When in a remote meeting, make sure to check the mic and camera are both off before telling your partner “I WANT TO TOUCH THE BOOTY LET ME TOUCH THE BOOTY PLEASE”
Wait, Valheim has pause for single player now? I may need to revisit that one this weekend.
Look, you have your list of priority features, I have mine.
@jaywilliams It’s better than the movie for sure. I sort of tune in and out, as @IamMrsGeek is the main watcher. But when I check in I’m always ready for the next episode.
Getting threats in the mail from fingerhut.
Plus yay “Domesticate Your Badgers” by @mwlucas showed up today!
DAMMIT
Why do I always get in my groove right before a big block of meetings?
Well, better put the code aside and get ready.
razzin frazzin muckinfuss
way too much thinking today
The meeting proper ended half an hour ago. This ain’t a parking lot. It’s a tailgate party.
Just sighed a sufficiently deep sigh that the meeting app told me to unmute if I want to talk.
The most annoying thing about Hugo is how they keep adding awesome stuff just when I think I’m done with it forever.
