  1. A Change in the Winds?

    This past week, I took a Thursday-Sunday road trip and I brought a total of three watches with me; the baby Alpinist, the Blood Moon (my night watch) and my Falcon.

    It was the week for the Alpinist to be on wrist, but when I travel, I like to have at least one option depending on the situation and wardrobe I pack. I packed a couple of shirts (both black with red & white features) that either the Blood Moon or the Falcon wouldn’t clash with, but it turns out that I never took the Alpinist off for the whole trip, even for bed.

    I never even wore the two shirts I planned on wearing that would have clashed with the Alpinist. I actually wore a t-shirt I don’t usually wear in public and a road trip themed shirt made specifically for this trip in order to keep the Alpinist on wrist all week.

    Does this mean I don’t like my Falcon any more? I don’t think so (I will be participating in @Aurelian’s #1wc with the Falcon), but it does open the door to the question, right? Maybe I just figured I was going to get a lot of wrist time for the Falcon soon, I typically always wear the Blood Moon to sleep and just didn’t want to shirk on wrist time for the Alpinist and it’s as simple as that?

    Whatever it means regarding the Falcon, I know what it means for the Alpinist; it’s not leaving the collection. After I won it as a door prize at a meetup, I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep it because I wasn’t even looking to add a new watch to the collection. In fact, I’m trying to downsize it to 10 watches & this complicates that. The heart wants what the heart wants though, I suppose.

    Do you have a watch that entered your collection unexpectedly and earned its way into a permanent spot?

  5. Packing up the house and the purging process is going well. My wife is becoming an expert on selling online, and we've cleared out 6 pieces of furniture and all my major workshop tools. We are currently cleaning out every closet and cupboard in preparation for a yard sale this weekend, and my garage looks like a flea market. Everything is priced aggressively to avoid packing it for the move or throwing it out. Next week we'll donate items that don't sell.

  8. @DrFerrous #BananaRepublicans are content with #purging #HigherEd of #woke faculty any which way they can.

    Until states outlaw #gerrymandering like #Canada did, or switch to #RankedChoiceVoting like California did, there’s only one way to #purge #ammosexuals from Congress and state legislatures; #PrimaryFromTheCenter in #GOP primaries in order to 💩 👉 🚽.

    Do it to save yourself, and #SaveAmerica from fascism! ✅

  9. Discovered a purge script a predecessor wrote wasn't actually cleaning up directories, just files, so there were huge forests of empty directories just hanging around taking up inodes.

    Felt *sooo* good to clean them up.

    And it was fun to use pathlib.Path.walk(), which is new in Python 3.12.

  10. CW: Tech Rival #CEO's in #SocialMedia observations

    There is a funny thing about tech rival #CEO's in #SocialMedia I have noticed over the 23+ years I have lived in #SiliconValley:

    ¹ Passive agressiveness in #MARCOM strategy going back decades about rival #SocialMedia services.

    ² #CEO's Not having _active_ accounts that are used as an outlet due to №¹, №³, №⁴, №⁵ & №⁵ points.

    ³ Not being able to afford a #SocialMediaManager for said accounts because a #Oligarch can't be bothered to acknowledge, let alone _use_, a deeply passive aggressive based #SocialMedia rivals' service due to #ZeroTrust of a rivals apps and/or web site. ☣️

    #Legal at said ☣️ #SocialMedia
    ☣️ places frowning on yet another thing to approve for the bosss' comms strategy.

    ⁵ 🔪☣️ #infosec ☣️🔪at said #SocialMedia companies that don't trust the others' apps enough to even have an active account on a rivals service.

    #Purging rivals #OldAccounts bringing this back into the #news cycle as a #TalkingPoint 😂

  11. Purging a decades-old collection of electronic hobby stuff. I have convinced myself that I'm not saying "I'll never do this stuff again" by getting rid of the tools and components. #purging #mortality #stuff #downsizing
