The plan for today: — errands — house stuff — a nice long walk — eat stuff before it rains

Hello, people of the weekend. Have a fun, relaxing, and safe weekend full of fun and caffeine. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Welcome to the weekend. What are you doing to celebrate?

What do you do with your ideas once you get them? #life #productivity

I miss working on/teaching HP/Tandem NonStop® systems. There’s something about working on a system that you don’t have to reboot every day. #programming #it #education

Plan for tomorrow: — work on “To Gain Knowledge” — program a bit — read — errands — eat (a priority)
