Finished 10 of 14 planned tasks. Recording them helps me realize how much more I’m doing than my brain would have me believe (mental TODO lists count like “1, 2, lots”).
big shoutout to the bosses who’d always say why they wanted to chat, good or bad (usually good or even just social. usually.)

The work lights in the new office have interesting controls. Fine tuning for people who love light (me) and those who hate it (cowering in the dark corner over there)
Yeah this whole thread.
In addition to excellent specific suggestions, highlights at least one part of Laravel community as particularly awesome.

Took the stairs to save time vs elevator. Stairwell door wouldn’t let me out. Went upstairs and took elevator.
Pretty trivial on the grand scale

Sorry about the gargling cat.

I understand the fuss over GIMP’s name, but it distracts from the more important point: it’s not a good app.
They built a whole GUI framework for it & then a whole desktop around that and it still stands out like a broken thumb.

Used git cherry-pick. Successfully.
Good thing I did it late at night with no witnesses or someone might be fooled into thinking I know what I’m doing.

This thread is not a rollercoaster ride.
But it is art.
So I share.

And then they talk to us like we have functioning brains when it should be perfectly obvious to anyone with one that we don’t.

I confused myself again.
Talk among yourselves.

Fireworks from the Mariners victory almost but not quite loud enough to drown out the nightly scheduled car show right outside the window.
It’s not a pizza. You don’t need to consume every scheduled minute and start stealing from your neighbors’ meetings.
Don’t judge my pizza habits.
