Hello. Everything you do and say affects many other people. Take care. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

I think I’m going to call it a night. Time for one last ride. youtu.be/QzIMx7Dqa…

Do you ever confuse GitHub with Grubhub? It seems like that should be a thing.

Wherever life takes me, there I’ll be.

You don’t have to be asleep to be a dreamer. Slay it. #life

For now, I’ve copied the books directory to a user-accessible one so I can work on the app. Maybe I can figure out a work around to the sandbox later… #books #apple #failure

I just tried getting to the Books directory on Mac via a symbolic link. It works through the UI, but programmatically and via terminal, the link comes back “not a directory”. I don’t want to deal with extended attributes… grr. #books #apple #failure #mac

Betting on coal as a fuel source is akin to betting on a worked out gold mine. Or you want to kill people to build the reserve.~ #energy #failure

You can always walk away. If you choose to stay says a lot about what you value. #life

I chose the Shepherd’s pie. It warn’t traditional but good. Tomato sauce? It worked, but why? #food

I worked for a company that didn’t measure/compete/market speed vs. feeds. The only significant computer metric is “how much work can you do in the least amount of time.” All the CPU speed in the world won’t offset a slow internet/disc channel. #programming #cpu

When you are optimistic, you fail to see the fatalistic. Not everyone is optimistic. #zen #tao #life #failure

Remember when people talked about the “blogosphere”?

“The sign on the door read: ‘Danger! Do not enter!’ They were obviously, trying to hide something important.” #writing

I made a pass through all the files I have stored on iCloud. I moved a bunch of stuff to my NAS. Spring-cleaning is hard.

Do people still do “Zoom” meetings? If so, why?

“Thursday: wet, dark, long. Everyone wears green because of “tradition”. No one questions it. Doing so is tantamount to heresy. The only good green is the green of the plants which still hide from the cold. I walk slowly, watching every step, uncertain Friday will come.” #writing

“If I told you you could go back in time once–just once–and you had the chance to prevent your own birth to save the world, would you?” #writing
