I blog so others can suffer too.Keep me posting
Well that’s inconsistent with my accustomed patterns.
Noticed some weird numbers in my report. Looked at the SQL. Found the bug immediately. Fixed it.
I better not let it spread too far that stuff like this is possible.

ah yes. the hyperfocus thing.
Finished getting the stuff in my head out into the world, and suddenly aware the world outside my head exists. My body, for example.
It’s all right where I left it.
Sometimes I miss having a cat.
Look I’m just saying if they don’t want pastel colors for the plotted data they should’ve made a spec. If they want me to change it, they’ll have to file a ticket.
I want to try running this in PyPy.
I should probably wait until after I give the afternoon demo.

Them: “When did you get into programming?”
Me: “I started on a Color Computer 2. Used it until the cat peed on it. Didn’t work so well after that, so that was it for a while.”
Maybe not the best answer to a recruiter “tell me about yourself” but hey I bet it’s memorable.
Pups rushing outside enthusiastically so they can immediately sprawl in the sun? I like their style.
Consider implementing a mail client feature which gives an electric shock to anyone sending work emails after work hours.
Consider also that this may only add a new kink to corporate life.
I sometimes wish I could get my brain to ignore when it thinks we’re close to solving a problem.
It’s like an incredibly nerdy shark in the water that thinks it smells a Rubik’s Cube or something.

My goodness but that complex SQL query got the wrong answer quickly. I’m getting better!
Mom trained me to occasionally make eye contact when talking.
Talking to @IamMrsGeek about a database task. Dogs are watching. My brain translates as “audience” & includes them in eye contact rotation.
Mom trained me a little too well.
@FerdiZ @ryen the first one. My CPU is borderline for 2 requirements, so haven’t decided yet.
Getting closer to my particular preferred setup at the new place.
We’ve been married a year today. What a weird year it’s been. Thank goodness it’s been with her.
@djsundog Thanks! I got her spending more time on Twitter. Maybe someday I’ll get her spending more time in the Fediverse ^_^
Using a lot of type hinting in this Python code and every once in a while I’m just like “who am i doing this for the language doesn’t care”
Needed to find some document building tools I’d misplaced, or rewrite the document in gasp a word processor.
Clearly I was morally obligated to spend the 2 hours rebuilding my toolchain.
Executive function is enabled this morning, so I’m Sending All The Emails before it breaks down again.
One of the emails I sent is to someone who’s been trying to get a response for — months? years? a while — so when I say “All The Emails” I mean All The Emails.
We got the economic impact payment.
I did not expect that. Ever.
Just sat there saying “what.” for a solid minute.
Got a lot of work done with the Django project and continuing the .NET Core exploration but oh I got an idea for a Mojolicious experiment and there’s that Crystal thing gathering dust and a dev.to / POSSE idea and —
