I used to think “if it aint’ broke don’t fix it,” but the accumulation of evidence has shifted that to “if it ain’t broke you ain’t looking close enough.”

Loud Dog hasn’t been feeling well — fluid in the chest, nothing way off in blood work, follow-up in a couple days which hopefully will reveal a mundane and easily treated concern — and I feel bad for her because she must work so much harder than usual to be annoying.

@irl still automated. Pytest & tftest in my case, though Sentinel looks interesting for pay.

Another night going to bed at a reasonable time, nearly drifting off, and snapping wide awake. Well, it’s 2am now let’s try again.

Looking at Go code that’s tangentially related to work (a dependency of a dependency of a tool) and naturally it’s got me wanting to write some code in
Julia.

Course, v-lang 0.3 is out. I could always check to see if it’s any closer to matching its sales pitch yet.

“The End of Social Media and the Rise of Recommendation Media” giving probably the most pro-algorithmic-content view I’ve seen, which I read as a strong argument to spend less time on the big platforms.

So a thing I’m noticing as I get older is that it takes my eyes longer to wake up.
There’s a solid hour where small print low-contrast stuff is just nope.

The usage friction of SiYuan Note is high for me. Maybe a dozen pages of English documentation. You gotta hit “Translate Page” and cross your fingers for every extension’s README. The only social posts I find are from me.

Quick-ish bedtime doodle using Infinite Painter radial symmetry.

Well, the kaleidoscope symmetry tool. Gotta remember “radial symmetry” is a different tool. Anyways, shading it was fun.

Watched a coworker’s excellent talk about task estimates and it gave me a great idea using Taskwarrior to help the process. I’d have to write a script for it. But I have work to do.

I think I got spoiled by Datasette and sqlite-utils because I get all excited when I try some other tool that uses SQLite and then so disappointed with how little they’re using of it.

Yay I followed the directions at https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/the-latest-grub-package-update-needs-some-manual-intervention/30689, fixed the grub issue on my computer, and am back in the Linux partition.
Hardest part was finding my USB sticks.

Um.
Urbek’s a bit of a hyperfocus hook, especially the jungle biome.
Folks with those tendencies may want to set a timer or something.

Was gonna be mad #EndeavourOS for making my Linux install unbootable, but looks like I get to be mad at grub instead which is a more familiar feeling.
