@Gina I do what I can.

OTOH this is my wife and we’ve been together a year and a half and I hadn’t shown it to her before?! Points off for that.

So annoyed with my brain. Nearly got to bed at a reasonable time. Then I bumped into a deployment issue I couldn’t fix — or let go of — for two hours.

Still no fix but at least I finally pushed myself away.

Been trying to figure out why my speakers haven’t been working for the last week.

Connector? Driver? What could it be?

Oh hang on.

I turned off the speakers a couple weeks ago.

Wanted to make a whole post about this neat one-liner but all the input, all the output, and most of the pipe itself are under NDA. Here’s what’s left:

I keep forgetting that I have exa installed so I adjusted my shell aliases:

alias ls=‘exa -F –grid’alias ll=‘exa -lF –grid’alias l=‘ls -lahF –grid’

@egret You make a good point. I protected my three Loki Games CDs for years, since I wasn’t sure if there’d ever be any more studio games for Linux.

Times have indeed changed.

@lecramed right? A lot of stuff I didn’t even think about because I was accustomed to ls behavior.

TIL a “dirty chai” is tasty.

The code part of pairing with the intern was mostly dead ends (and a couple tickets for me to work on later), so it turned into “I babble about all the pytest plugins and CLI tools I use in the course of a day”

I’m honest to goodness on-track for tickets done this week, even with an ambitious schedule.

Despite trying to destroy my work environment yesterday.

Plus, I put my Doom config in a repo since I fired up that mode more than two days in a row.

SSH to the desktop to run the command line app to play music, because I didn’t feel like pairing my bluetooth headphones with the laptop.

There are many different kinds of lazy.

I over-enthused about regular expressions with the intern, but restrained myself to only three suggestions:

  • always use uh i mean look up and learn about re.VERBOSE* Put your regular expression strings in variables* Learn about named capture groups

Continuing to learn more about Doom Emacs. I’m sure I’ll blog about it, if I can just find the workspace that my blog’s in.
