Awesome day today!
Got to take one of our semi-annual trips up north with my daughter and her husband. Despite the pissing down rain, we headed up into #SkagitValley onto #ChuckanutDriveWe took a nice walk down to the water in #LarrabeeStatePark to check out the rock formations, moss, lichen, and a few teeny mushrooms. Managed to get a bunch of pictures and I'm looking forward to sorting through them tomorrow.
Also stopped by one of my favorite local cheesemongers(Samish Bay Cheese) in the area and picked up partial wheel of cheese and some lebneh cheesecake.
Here's one with my daughter looking south down onto #SamishBay

A couple of concrete wall and branch texture photos I took this afternoon while waiting outside a doctor's office.

"Flying Nun on Multitrack
First installment of my blog about these special tapes in the FNR and Chris Knox collections at National Library of NZ. What is a multitrack? What is on these tapes? And how can you listen to and research them?"

*sigh* Somehow, I've managed to squeeze two Mondays into one today.
Perhaps I can get one deducted from next week.

Be careful of the sources of your reading material.
After following a link from a link on some pop fluffy #philosophy website(The Collector), I came across a mildly interesting summary on Heidegger and his “The Question Concerning Technology” lecture. For various reasons, the article had a bit of a "smell" to it.
I gleaned some useful bits from the article. However, some of the contextualizing laid out didn't feel right, to me, from previous familiarity with the subject. Digging a bit revealed a bit of a right-wing rat hole of seemingly "enlightened" rationality.
Check your sources. I guess, thankfully, the fluffy site provided deeper links to verify some of their sources.

In a moment of whimsy, I managed to catch Anu hamming it up for the camera.

Yikes. Just saw one of the corners of ~8'x15' pieces of sheet metal on the roof of our parking structure get peeled up a bit. A little bit more and it's going to get tossed across out apartment parking lot.

Going in for a dive into Peter Hammill's solo work.
After listening to Van der Graaf Generator's work, I'm enjoying his 70s work.
A bit punk, post-punk stuff. Pretty different from the prog stuff that I was kind of expecting. Really interesting stuff.@brian You're a fan of his, right? Can you recommend some post-70's albums that I should check out?

Not that anyone has asked, or cares, about my podunk, backwater processes. There's a few reasons why I haven't migrated my #Python work to use #uv
1. I don't care about performance. My work is done on a potato machine and it won't make much difference, to me. For now.
2. I prefer to keep the VC funded company Astral at arms length, pay attention, and see how the tool development plays out.
3. I actually like watching individual projects like #pyenv #pipx and the rest. How they work as a community, handle bugs and new features.I did the same with the flake8 module projects before I commited to using ruff several years ago. YMMV

Huh. This is a new one.
Somehow, I've managed to pollute my #Python pip userspace with a bunch of packages from a #Poetry project I normally work on.
Fortunately, I could just easily rebuild with #pyenv and #pipx. Just kinda weird that it happened in the first place. I might have to go back to explicitly using `poetry shell` for isolation. *shrug*

Our collective failure to implement Cockpunch over IP was a cultural mistake.
e: Oh my god! The file just goes on and on like that for 450 lines. 😱

Oof.

A long day in meatspace full of doctor's appointments. Figure I'll just chill out tonight with Game 7 of the #MLB playoffs. *sigh*
Yes, your honor, I am a masochist. :-/

An unexpected and sudden burst of motivation, today, has got me whipping up a pot o'chili from scratch AND starting the migration of my #Django projects to #python314 at the same time.
Gettin' it done in the both the meat and digital-space(I can't bring myself to call it "cyber" 😆 ) feels good!

I'm not sure that I see the author's premise "What is wrong with hauntology?" sucessfully brought to a clear conclusion. But, I am generally curious to see folks attempt to seriously engage with the concept of "hauntology" and Mark Fisher's writings.
Perhaps the article is too brief to really get anywhere other than to point out that it's a white, Euro-centric position to be in opposition to other cultural currents. Which may be enough. Perhaps I should go back and re-read Fisher's "Ghosts in My Life".

Hehe. Dear lord.
Now I'm torn between watching either Five, On the Beach, or fuckin' Threads 🤣
