Yesterday was leaf blowers. Today is hedge trimmers.

hackers.town: 2024-10-04 Fri 08:38

“neighbor’s getting her hedge trimmed. Ehh? Ehh?”

“Eh! ew!”

strong #TWSS energy in this home

AFFiNE is worth checking out.

Whatever features it’s missing, however lacking the docs are, however many typos are in those docs, however they managed to stumble on one of the few naming conventions more annoying than vowel removal—

So anyways last night Bouncy Dog wanted to let me know he’s happy I’m home.

Thought it would be clickbait listicle, but nope. I cringed at least 40 times. Not all of them get to me, but way more than I expected.

post-work-event update:

I think I have a people hangover.

hackers.town: 2024-10-02 Wed 09:02

@maddiefuzz also the best, thus the hangover.

(okay no really it’s the social battery thing plus aggravated tinnitus)

hackers.town: 2024-10-02 Wed 12:25

symptoms have persisted, so I checked. It’s (probably) not COVID so yay for that!

Leaves plenty of room for the other ten thousand bugs carried by a crowd of hundreds (plus four airports)

I am very much looking forward to going home tonight for all the obvious reasons, but one of the lesser reasons: get back to the small stubborn trees that my sinuses have decided are mostly harmless.

Austin all lovely and wooded. Ugh. The allergies hate that.

Whenever somebody butchers my last name and I provide a quick correction, they usually apologize.

Team-building competitive elimination exercise.

First round, I warn my opponent I have social anxiety in force and will play to lose.

“Me too.”

I won.

Which is to say, I successfully eliminated myself in the first round.

Offered “good game” condolences to my opponent, who took a couple more rounds to eliminate themselves.

Doing a little pre-event-day-events tweaking of my Emacs config, as one does. Get org-roam dailies in org-agenda, ensure visual-line-mode is enabled.

An actual eight-hours-in-a-row kind of workday planned for us.

Wonder if they packed fidget stims in the swag bag.

hackers.town: 2024-09-29 Sun 06:46

@c0debabe I usually do, but that’s one of the things I skipped in rushing out.

Along with a hairbrush.

Breakfast provided was excellent. It’s a shame my body isn’t really ready for food in the first couple hours.

travel prep; finding all the stuff I knew exactly where it was until I decided I needed it.

As airports go, TUS is nice and quiet at the moment.

hackers.town: 2024-09-28 Sat 07:41

I mean it’s still an airport. I’d still rather be home, with my person and the critters, than en route to a three day meeting.

But I’m focusing on the positive.

Coyote just sitting and chilling in a parking lot, watching with idle curiosity as Bouncy Dog barks at every passing car and jogger. I’m grateful BD hasn’t looked around or he’d lose his dang mind.

Meanwhile, Jumpy Dog: “that puppy smells funny. Can we go say hi?”

Hm no I don’t think we can.

Wait. How is it already Thursday.

@masukomi not to mention: doesn’t “deprecated” already cover the meaning in a domain-appropriate manner?

I’m a huge fan of using tangentially appropriate phrasing, but not when it comes to user-facing documentation and warnings.

(also, this should be info-level logging at this point, maybe even debug level. and if it genuinely is a notably bad thing, after this many years it should panic with an error)

Trying to at least steer it towards Org mode. Taskwarrior is more challenging now that the big sync hosts have shut down and 3.0 has made self-hosted sync more confusing.

@chuck long post so Mastodon Web client only showed first line and that with some fading out at the bottom.

Long story short I saw “Over here doing B&D”, clicked in, saw Kubernetes, and it all still fit by the time I hit “wildly empowering, and kind of irresponsible”
