I saw one of these #birds fly out of a bush, across the trail, and into a tree. I stopped. I waited. I looked, but couldn’t spot it. I took another, slow, careful step. Another #sparrow flew out of the bush, across the path, and into the tree. I stopped again.
This went on for about FIVE MORE ROUNDS before a couple of them flew into another bush and stopped where I could SEE them!
Then one of them flew off while I was aiming. 🤦
No, autocorrect, neither “shrine cheese” or “syringe cheese” is a thing.
As far as I know, anyway
I literally received a bill for 2 cents from one of the cloud providers I was trying out in December & January. I must have missed end-of-month on the last server I turned off by like 10 minutes or something
“The last packet successfully received from the server was 239,231,785 milliseconds ago” – Um, thanks. Maybe those aren’t the best units to use here, though?
Archaeologists have discovered an 1800-year-old Roman mosaic at a south London construction site.
Me, more often than I’d like:
I want to do X.
But I have to do Y.
So I need to make sure I don’t do X.
(does Z, doesn’t manage to do X or Y)
Thank you, brain, for reminding me just how catchy 99 Red Balloons is.
I always thought that was irony. But thinking about it now, it occurs to me that it may be part of the point.
Still not ready to go back to cons yet (and I might want to start with something smaller when I do) but at least WonderCon is taking things seriously.

They even have a COVID refund policy: if you can’t attend because you catch COVID before the event, they’ll issue a full refund if you show them the positive test.
I’m morbidly amused by “Please do not bring your proof onsite.”
I mean, it *should* go without saying, but you just know someone would do it and expose everyone in the check-in line otherwise. 😬
I just tried to put my spare reading glasses on over my regular reading glasses.🤦♂️
Kid had yesterday off but i didn’t. It feels like 2 Mondays in a row.
I wonder if Cafe 222 in San Diego is offering some sort of special tomorrow.
If it’s still there anyway
They are in fact still around!
The place is freaking tiny, though. And the outdoor seating they had last time I was there is in an alcove surrounded on three sides, so while it’s outside for temperature, I’m not sure I’d consider it outside for ventilation.
Well, it’s not like I was going to drive 100+ miles for breakfast anyway.
Spent the entire afternoon trying to get a project to build. I would have been better off working in one of the other two high priority projects.
My sense of time is so wonky I thought *today* was 2/22/22 (or 22/2/22). Then I realized it was tomorrow.
Or I guess I should say two-morrow?
Wait, it’s already tomorrow in UTC, isn’t it?
I really need to finish some projects before I start any new ones
Context: I was driving past a park that has a pond with a year-round population of ducks and geese and attracts other waterfowl. Usually near the pond.
This isn’t. It’s at the edge of the park. I pulled over because there was a whole…duckload of mallards just grazing their way down the street along the grass.

Me: Hmm, what’s a flock of ducks called?
Kid: A duckload.
(He looked it up. Apparently it’s a “paddling” of ducks, but I think I’m going to go with duckload.)
Most of what’s left is refinements, but I still haven’t decided how to handle comments. I’ve got a simple structure for *displaying* comments, but no way to accept new ones yet.
Static site generators inherently can’t process input. If you want comments, you have to hook something else up, or offload them entirely.
The original posts didn’t get many comments, so I might just leave it at the mailto link for now. (Talk about flashbacks…)
