Sometimes I find some long ago note or tweet that I wrote implying something bad or disappointing happened and I have no other notes or any idea what happened on that date, a mystery forever lost to time, but also a reminder that THIS TOO SHALL PASS always applies

After watching an episode of:
- Brooklyn 99: Oh, Netflix already queued up the next episode, might as well
- WandaVision: I need to wait one more week to find out what happens??
- The Expanse: So many things happened, I need time to digest

My computer greets me in the morning as it always has for the past few months: with “Your dropbox is almost full”.

Please write more.
Not just on social media, FB, Twitter, whatever. Write on your own sites and blogs. On your tumblrs, wordpresses, whatever. Long-form, rambling, incessant. The world could use more sincere blogging.

The circle of life:
- I want to do so many things - things cost time - I don’t have enough time - I don’t want to prioritize the things, I want to do them all - I end up just going to sleep

I wonder if any other Django devs always forgot what their local env’s superuser password is and just createsuperuser again every so often

In a pandemic, we wear masks to protect others.
On the internet, we should avoid Facebook to protect others.

This is a test. It has no beavers.

Today in how dumb I am: a replacement band for my fitbit that I had ordered arrived today. I easily removed the old band and quickly put the new one in place but when I tried to wear it, I realized I had put them on upside-down. =/ And now I can’t remove it!

I’ve been using git for at least 6 years, and every time I need to do a merge I still search for “git merging” to make sure I don’t merge in the wrong direction

I had a data import screwup this morning that made me say “thank god for backups!”. Good job past me setting up regular backups! That’s what I get for coding something on very little sleep

I wont stop upgrading to new beta versions of ios until they figure out how to stop killing my background processes from 10 seconds ago

I had some complaints about the latter half of the season, but I liked how they resolved their timey-wimey business. Agents of SHIELD had a great run and a pretty good series finale

Between Jumpstart in mid-July, Amonkhet Remastered in mid-August, and Zendikar Rising in mid-Sept, MTG Arena is seriously challenging my F2P-ness. (Pretty sure that’s what they intended!)

Unnecessarily re-installed xcode today because Stackoverflow had an old accepted answer that involved a reinstall; the actual useful answer was more recent (4 years newer) and only required settings updates. SO needs a way for people to mark newer answers as more relevant.

Can’t access mastodon.technology since last night, via either my broadband or mobile network. Downforeveryoneorjustme says it’s up. I assume if it’s some kind of ip ban I would at least see a message instead of just timing out

Git needs a shortcut for “pull, then if no merge conflicts, push”

My broadband has been unavailable for two days now and this mobile internet really gets in the way of my doomscrolling

Hey, would any current users of https://lobste.rs/ be willing to give me an invite? Thanks!

I don’t use email heavily enough to justify paying $99/year for it, but the new hey.com email service has some interesting ideas https://hey.com/features/, especially on the workflow side (Their service does not seem to use standard protocols though)

Some build stuff flaked out earlier which caused some older notes/tweets/toots to resend. This is a test to make sure that’s fixed.

The analog wall clock in my room randomly stops and I guess it starts again at some point since the time changes, so whenever I look at it I basically get a random time. I thought about changing the batteries, but then I realized this is super on brand for the quarantine period.

3am shower thought: i want some kind of #indieweb (federated?) search. Idk how it’d work but want to be able to search only indie/personal sites and not include merchant sites or pro blogs or things like that

I miss being able to set a custom status message in my messaging app. Company I worked at for the longest time used jabber/xmpp for internal messaging, which supported setting a status message. I often used it to put short messages, jokes or PSAs, and I like to think I was one of the first at the company to practice this and it spread later. Just a fun thing to scroll through your contact list and see the random status messages people put. I suppose in the modern age no one really scrolls through their contact lists though.
Modern messaging apps like Messenger, Signal, Viber, WhatsApp etc dont have this. Discord does though, and so does Google Hangouts, since it is xmpp based I believe. Tweets are supposedly status updates. Hmm, maybe I should make a Twitter app where it just lists out all your contacts and shows the last status message from each one.

That last one didn’t go so well.
So here’s to one more!
