π· Day 19: Birthday.
Doing dev type work today that I haven’t done in quite a while. It took a few minutes to remember the correct syntax… I used to be able to do this stuff in my sleep. Gotta start working that individual contributor muscle again.
π· Day 18: Mood.
π· Day 17: Transcendence.
π· Day 16: FlΓ’neur.
Iβm finding it hard to believe that my youngest child turns 27 today. Where have the years gone?
π· Day 15: Small.
Today has been a very slow day. The missus and I went out to buy a couple of small items, but that’s about it. The rest of the day has been filled with wandering and puttering around the house. I’ve learned to appreciate days like these more lately.
π· Day 14: Cactus.
Grrr. Today is probably my least favorite day of the year: Tax check writing day.
I just configured and handed over my old MacBook Air M1 to my wife who had the same model except with an Intel chip. I think I might install Linux Mint on her old machine to have as an extra toy for tinkering once we’re sure I’ve migrated all she needs.
π· Day 13: Page.
Cleaning up files on the old laptop, I came across the Hacking with macOS book I bought a few years back but never got started on. Now is as good a time as any to start.
π· Day 12: Magic.
π· Day 11: Sky.
I think my (eventual) podcast will focus on office etiquette. I have so many examples from coworkers over the years that I’d easily have 15 episodes out of the gate. Does that make it a “rantcast?” Now if I could only make the time to record…
Well… A month later, and my eyesight has returned to what it originally was, and my computer glasses work again. An added bonus related to “the event” is I’ve managed to shed more than 10 pounds so far. Let this be a lesson kids; refined sugar is simply pure evil.
π· Day 10: Train.
Iβm really liking Bear as my new notes app, but Iβm seeing a somewhat consistent rendering issue when switching to one note from another. When I do, sometimes the new noteβs content draws funny and needs a quick scroll to rerender. Anyone else getting this? How about you, @canion?
Some people are way too quick to call a meeting for something that can be solved in one or two email exchanges. Donβt be that person, because Iβll shoot you down if you send me a pointless invite. π₯
π· Day 09: Crispy.
I’m playing a form of “Apollo 13” with the work laptop now, trying to find the right combination of apps that will keep the thing charging while I do some work. Launching any browser puts me over the limit and the charge stops. π€£
Got to the office this morning to find my work laptopβs battery is drained. Sitting here waiting for sufficient charge to get going. I must remember to shut down for the weekends rather than sleep the thing.
π· Day 08: Prevention.
A productive weekend. Cleaned most of the back yard. The rest is for next weekend. Built a new barbecue and grilling burgers for dinner. But the best thing was sleeping in really late this morning. The week ahead looks manageable. Life is good.
