  1. The human brain is so weird.

    I've been struggling with a thorny programming implementation issue most of the day and not making much progress.

    So I took myself out for a walk, and not 10 minutes into the walk the solution was as clear as day, and ridiculously simple. I coded it up and it looks like it works. Yeesh.

  7. @mariapopova One of my absolute favorite books as a child. I did not know the backstory but I love it. Although yes, very bittersweet.

  8. @DeliaChristina 😆 I LOVE that one. Was trying to explain it to friends over drinks the other night (it was too noisy to just play it for them)

    (I was going to post that one to our work Slack #jams channel but... edges just close enough to NSFW. So no.)

    Merry christmas!

  9. Anybody using 5G for their home internet? My girlfriend has terribly slow and horribly over-priced AT&T but it doesn't look like she has any other wired option...

    She can get T-Mobile 5G home internet here (I'd probably do it through my Mint Mobile account, slightly cheaper), and even the minimum advertised download bandwidth would be 10x (yes, 10x) what she currently has, and it would be SO much more inexpensive.

    I assume you run into some congestion at times? How does it work, I assume it's like a bunch of 5G cell phones in a box? 😆

    I'd prefer something wired but looks like there's just no other option in her apartment complex.

  10. is it wrong that I hope they have Friends reruns on their ubiquitous TVs (as they often do) instead of HGTV?

  11. Boston/Cambridge/Somerville peeps:

    If you need a futon, or anything futon-adjacent, I want to give a HUGE shout out to Bedworks in Central Square.

    Yes, I'm sure you already know about them and I know they've been there forever and I know they're practically an institution (I think I bought my first futon couch from them in the 80s?)...

    but it was just *such* a lovely experience to go in and buy something local and spend the time having a lovely extended conversation with the staff person there (wish I'd gotten his name!)

  16. @qlp Yeah, we've been planning to get off #Mandrill for months... years, even, but that work kept getting bumped for "more important" work.

    But this event is going to accelerate that drastically.

    We can replace a 63-line ruby class and be over to #SendGrid pretty quickly (or maybe #Postmark) 🙂

  17. I'm not feeling the warm fuzzies about trying to do GCP Dataflow (aka Apache Beam) with Typescript. Doesn't feel fully baked.

    Also doesn't feel like a lot of doc/examples nor many people using it. I don't think our org should be on the bleeding edge of something like this for a core piece of our infrastructure.

    Dunno. Will keep working on it for a bit.

  18. And hi #mastodon! I'm back! All is good, it was just a *very* busy/crazy/huge couple of months, but the dust is settling.

    (and honestly, the social media hiatus was good, he said as he dipped his toe back in)

  19. I guess I'm realizing how much of a creature of habit I am and how much change--even if it might in the long run be for the better--just throws me for a loop.

    I keep repeating to myself these incredibly helpful wise words from a dear friend:

    "Don't let fear get in the way. Turn it into curiosity. "

  20. So there's a LOT of changes going on in my life right now and I'll freely admit when there are times when I'm downright terrified.

    I don't really have any reason to be. I'm not going to end up homeless or anything, I have good friends and support network and resources.

  21. Intrigued by the possibility of moving to #roslindale, if I can find something (I have a little time before I need to move).

    Drove around it a little today, really liked the vibe (yes I know I should have gotten out and walked, but I didn't have a whole lot of time today. Will get to that.)

    But there's like NO #traderJoes convenient, it seems. 😢 Is that a #Boston thing?

  22. @constantorbit #lifechanges are a challenge. Going through a few myself over here. Be kind to yourself.

  23. I really gotta stop with the feeling-sorry-for-myself. Doesn't help *anyone*, least of all me.

  26. Just back from an excellent concert by The Jameson Singers. All double-choir pieces.

    Including world premiere of a very good short piece by one of the members of the Singers, J. Andrés Ballesteros.

    I really liked the Frank Martin Mass for Double Choir. I'm not familiar with his music, I will have to explore it more.
