Food idea: Curry soup is a thing. What if you were to replace the curry with a different spice? Say mustard? Add some wine, Use French mustard. That should work. #food #soup
The Gathering: Speck survived the night indoors. He didn’t use the litterbox. The Cone of Discomfort, he doesn’t enjoy. He’s walking and using his leg/paw without problems now. So, whatever it was was minor. He wants to go outside, but I’m not letting him out until the cone comes off. #feral #cat
“Inspector, you are wrong. The gun was not the murder weapon.” “Holmes?” “Note the stuffed trophy heads arrayed around the gun. One of those killed Chekhov..” “You’re not saying…?!” “Yes, Inspector. The gnu was loaded. Sometimes, even Checkov misdirected.’ “I Khan’t fathom that.” #writing #chekhov

Do you have a passion project? Not a side-project. Everyone has one, or more, of those. I’m not sure I have one that qualifies. Most of my projects feel like they are until I realize they are just like all of my other projects. #projects #fun

I miss computers with switches and blinky lights. Back in the day, i booted systems from switches and reels of mag tape. At least you knew they were doing something while they were doing it. Now, we hav progress bars that estimate time on some other planet. #computing #programming
