A little more fun with this #drawing. Interesting to me how the sketchbook feel from the matte cover makes a sketchy style more comfortable.

@Agrippa that’s true, they do make good stickers.

Or I can start showing it off because it’s a clear sign I can afford to eat and that I have a comfortable friendly relationship with good food.

Got a new matte screen protector for the iPad. Feels a lot like #drawing on paper. I like it.

Watching my Bay Area coworkers adjust their work plans on Slack like it’s a snow day but it’s a no-electricity day.

The SHA256 checksums took nearly all my program’s CPU time. No surprise there.

Gotta be honest, I’m enjoying the way “lol” can be used to say “bless your heart”.

I’m getting good mileage out of WSL (2), but it didn’t do so great last time I tried to build work code on it.

Combination of WSL still improving and my work tools assuming they’ll be running on macOS.

@rhosyn Agreed! I get to keep my brain happy with handwritten notes, but I can find the important ones a month later!

@rhosyn there’s a fountain pen option for then pen in its drop down, but I prefer brush.

@rhosyn I catch myself wishing for better sketch functionality, but I have great sketch apps already.

I wrote a note:

We went to the mall. Later, I bought an app.

I admit with some chagrin that it never occurred to me to wonder what Martin Scorsese thought about superhero movies.

But the real question is who’s his fave Spidey? I think the auteur in him prefers Donald F. Glut but Tom Holland stole his heart.

Interesting list. I’d at least add “The Religion of Technology” by David Noble. Read it ~2000. Gave me a little historical perspective when dealing with adherents of Disruption and/or Ascension.

Got a bit carried away with the nerdiness. Guess I should go to bed now.

Relabeled the days on my meds wheel. Been having too many days where I can’t recall if I took them, and (maybe) double dose isn’t a sustainable habit.

@rabcyr yep, my life would be a lot easier if I stuck to a schedule for filling my organizer!

Hm. Still no Tweetdeck?

Guess I’ll check out the normal Web interfaaAUUGGH

Guess I’ll take a little Twitter break.

This morning: drinking coffee and checking out SSD prices for the desktop. Holy crap they’re cheap.

Ooh okay i like gradual typing (in Python+mypy but really anywhere) even more now.

Helped me untangle the implied structure of an existing dictionary, and how I was about to screw that structure up.
