Writing with a fountain pen the past few years has definitely improved my handwriting to the point of legibility—unless I’m in a rush, then it devolves to the ancient times. #writing #fountainpen

“Smell the ocean. Smell, it I say! Stick your nose in it and inhale deeply.” #writing #throwawayline

It’s time for wings and free-writing.

Bird! Northern cardinal watching a song sparrow. #bird

Happy National Dress Up Your Pet Day. Yes, it’s a thing. No, you shouldn’t. It’s cute to you, but pretty much abusive to the pet.

I should definitely eat something today. I need to do some free-writing. #writing

In case anyone was wondering, I trashed (metaphorically) the Chromebook, and converted an old Lenovo Yoga to BunsenLabs Linux. #linux

It’s a cold (in the 30s) day. The Gathering is sitting on the deck, staring in. #cats

I got some Python stuff done this morning. Time to shift gears.

Good morning people of Saturday. Nothing is permanent, not even you. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Someone should ask ChatGPT what information it’s collecting about its users. That would be at least useful.

I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend and keeps sane.

So, who has big plans for the weekend? I plan on doing pretty much the same thing I always do. A boring life is a peaceful life.

It’s time to call it a week, to kick back, and relax.

It’s Friday eve. Time for a glass of mead. #mead

Parsed the Goodreads export file into something TiddlyWiki can import. #programming #books

Lots of old cool stuff I forgot about. #startrek

Also found this. No, this wasn’t serious. Not sure who wrote it

Going through old stuff. GiF spec from Compuserve #graphics

I guess I can recover ChromeOS on this brick and give it to someone.

PSA: If you’re a developer, never buy a Chromebook to install Linux on it. The new ones not only have software protection, but hardware and BIOS protections that lock you into ChromeOS. I’ve spent over a week trying to work around it, to no avail. #chromeos #linux #failure

Just because something is trending, doesn’t make it important. #life #failure

Happy Blame Someone Else Day
