freaking out because somebody’s talking about a project and there’s so far a five minute side note on my project and how to use it.

a) it’s a pretty good intro; and b) i keep forgetting other folks here know about it

Finally got to use MyST Markdown in a Sphinx project and it’s pretty nice!

Found the weather settings in American Truck Simulator. Rained all the way from Seattle WA to Sandpoint ID, which I dunno how realistic that is, but this part at least was comfortingly familiar. #ATS

Game screenshot showing truck on I-90 E near the exit to I-405 for Bellevue / Renton. It is raining.

I can confirm that cat spray is a contributing factor in my allergies.

Yay for knowledge.

In other news, got multiple windows open so I can breathe and counting days to their appointment.

One nice thing about a paper notebook vs a digital PKM is it’s a lot easier to draw arrows and doodle in the margins and AND I’LL DO THE STUFF OKAY JEEZ

I mean boo meetings but holy crap coworker’s doing a demo session and there’s a Python + Linux geek attending and I’ve been able to hands-up & answer that person’s questions.

Participating is easier when you know you’ve got the best available answers.

Got a work-approved VM running on the MBP which means I can finally reboot the PC to Linux and stay there for more than a few hours.

“Don’t use Microsoft’s Python language server. That’s proprietary! Ew! [gagging noises]”

Oh that’s terrible. I see this open source python-language-server. Much better. Wonder who owns that project?

Palantir.

Well that’s just fucking nifty.

Ah ha! To make it so j and k move over folds rather than into them in VS Code:

Enable “Foldfix” in Vim extension settings.

(Why am I bothering with VS Code? Self-assigned task for my knowledge transfer project. Most devs here doing a screen share use that editor, so if I set up the workspace with that in mind I cut down onboarding friction.)

No meetings today, so looking forward to continuing on some stuff but instead I get to debug LDAP. Yay I get to learn more about LDAP. Yay.

@PsyChuan that mapping helps a lot!

Going from the link to update that 15 shillings in London to say $80,000 today. In San Francisco or Seattle. With seven kids. At least one of whom needs extra care, and we know Scrooge won’t be providing any extra health coverage with that $80k.

At 9:45pm I had a last-minute idea and suddenly it’s well after midnight but hey at least I finished writing the idea.

Some kind of random-ass up past my bedtime doodle. A fish? On a stick? Staring at maybe the upper end of a giant tube?

A cartoony drawing that looks more or less like the text attempted to describe

bonkShe: Sorry

Me: … did you just apologize to the shelf?

She: Yes

Me: Good morning!

I keep forgetting how quick prove is.

Probably a block for mental health. If I thought about it every time I sat in front of some not-Perl test framework I’d get sad.

Using org mode to write a thing (I want to keep my code close to my notes for this one and my brain immediately locked on Org so here we are).

No way would I say everyone should do it this way. I’m really enjoying the doctests-on-steroids feel for this task, though.

Household stress, and keeping myself quiet so I don’t accidentally commit everyone to a path I’d rather we all not be on.
