  1. @pmevzek totally agree

    "Expires: January 9, 2017" #sigh
    (and will fail because folks thing they need the CH class)

  2. Today I got an email response to a number of concerns I raised, replying to my first email which summarized my concerns clearly & concisely, but reply was more obtuse. I should reply, "TLDR; please see original email" #sigh #imtired

  3. Mailing lists. That’s what’ll keep me off the BSDs in the end I think. Not the dumb license. Not the terrible file systems (ZFS excepted). Mailing lists. Learn how to use git for gawdsake. It’s only been 20 years.

  4. Why do I need a damn cable to use my apple bluetooth keyboard on a second Mac? Why Apple? I can easily connect AirPods to any damn device and you ask me if I want to use it there. WHY NOT FOR MY DAMN KEYBOARD?

    #Apple #Why #Sigh

  5. Dear Internet,
    This is NOT an aerial photo of of Pompeii, c.1900, OK?

  6. #sigh. In the name of efficiency, gutting the requirements that ensure kids actually benefit. What is wrong with these people?

  7. I do not feel recharged by the weekend, even though it was overwhelmingly a good weekend

    The good:

    + had a wonderful conversation with a new person at the community garden about science fiction, different knowledges, history and politics

    + excellent homemade pizza last night

    + some cuddles with all the animals

    + roasted cauliflower in preparation for soup (which I didn't make but I can still do that tonight)

    + a band peformance, which went well and it's always great to hang out with my band mates

    the less good is that yesterday was far busier than I would have liked, and Dad went to hospital feeling a bit meh on Saturday and ended up declining very rapidly and the team there doesn't really know what is wrong with him. I spoke to the doctor three times yesterday and then went in for a few hours in the late afternoon, and he was sleeping fitfully with some slightly concerning symptoms. I did call them this morning but let's just say the doctor who answered the phone was less than helpful. Perhaps she's just very busy and saving all her energy for the patients. Yes, I'm feeling a bit passive aggressive...

  10. My heart hangs a little heavy when I visit the #forkiverse these days.

  11. "You are being left behind!"

    Does being left behind also include being left alone to just do the stuff I like, without having to worry about unnecessary noise and endless productivity pressure? Because that sounds excellent, we have a deal, please proceed with leaving me behind.

  12. @chozari I would hope so but I think it's just ordinary hardwoods, gum tree wood etc. I didn't used to have this sensitivity. It's all new in the last year. #sigh

  13. I woke up this morning convinced it was Thursday and was bitterly disappointed to discover it was, in fact, only Wednesday. #SlowWeek #sigh

  14. @malanalysis The sad thing is that they’re •not• getting rid of daylight saving time, just the switch. This idea of year-round DST is foolish for two reasons: 1. It was already done back in 1974 (in the US anyway) and was such a disaster it was repealed within a year. 2. DST only exists when there’s a switch. If you make it year-round, you’re just switching to the next time zone over. EDT becomes AST, PDT becomes MST, &c. This creates some confusion (I’m looking at you British Columbia) when they’ve made PDT permanent and are actually on MST but still insisting on calling it Pacific Time. (Yes, this is already happening.) #Sigh. #Rant over for the moment.
