“Oh…um…hi there…”
Sick (probably not COVID) – followup
Well, whatever it is, the fever seems to have broken yesterday and now I only feel exhausted. So that’s another sign pointing to not-covid.
Still, so much for getting out this weekend.
Sick (probably not COVID)
I figured the sore legs were probably from biking up & down 6 miles of hills yesterday
The neck pain from sitting propped up in a posture that i know gives me neck pain
The fatigue from not sleeping well
Light headedness could be migraine related
But then the chills started. And the fever hit.
Home COVID test came out negative, going to take a pcr tomorrow. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve gotten sick with COVID like symptoms but a negative test.

No one else in the kid’s class has come down with COVID, so that’s good. Also means I’m not likely to have caught it from him, since he hasn’t shown any sign of it since the exposure alert

I don’t remember what I wanted to do this weekend, but it’s cancelled now

When your head feels hot and the rest of you feels cold, you know something’s not right

I’m really annoyed trying to figure out where I could’ve gotten it.
If it’s stealth COVID, it may have been from sitting outside Starbucks on Monday. But again, I was outside most of the time and wore an N95 to walk inside to order.
If it’s the flu, it might be the restaurant I got takeout from last night. I had to wait longer than anticipated. But again, masked while inside.
I could’ve just been unlucky and hit the 5% chance.

Does anyone else here pronounce the ‘wp’ abbreviation for WordPress (as in wp-admin, wp-config, etc.) as “whoopie”?
Kid did karaoke at school today
Kid did karaoke at school today.
“Can you guess what I sang?”
“Never Gonna Give You Up?”
“No, too many had already picked it.”
(Yay for schools with lots of outdoor spaces)
For the record: We don’t talk about Bruno.
And now I’m thinking about the clip the kid found where they cut out the word “frame” from “7-foot frame, rats along his back…”
And I figured, they must be womp rats. They’re not much bigger than two meters.
I’m not used to seeing wild rabbits *relaxing*
A mockingbird I caught just after it took off. Or is it a mockingbirb?
When you make fun of tacky songs about Marvel villains and Star Trek on company time…
…you mock Doc Ock Spock schlock rock on the clock.
Self-Hosted Flickr Alternative?
I looked into the same thing a few months ago and nothing was quite what I was looking for (lightweight with albums and indieweb metadata) Piwigo was the most promising candidate I looked at, but I never quite got around to trying it out.
This is a helpful list:

I’ve been contemplating building my own photo gallery setup on top of Eleventy, though. It’s really flexible.
Butterfly-friendly native CA plants purchased from a local conservation group have collected a caterpillar! Looks like a Sphynx moth. Now I just need to finish transplanting the rest of the plants into the actual ground! #nature #plants #butterflies #moths #garden #caterpillar

And I just remembered I ran into exactly the same problem on one of my hobbyist pages a couple of months ago, only with a completely different stack generating the file and a completely different program reading it.
No wonder I didn’t think of it at first.

1. See a bunch of broken characters in output.
2. Set up test case to explicitly convert latin1 to utf8.
3. Baffle at the inability to break the test case in the way the real code is broken.
4. Look at HTTP headers on real code.
🤦♂️
5. Delete testcase & fix the damn header.
Because these days buying single-use foo would be irresponsible.

Coffee places: we want to look busy to attract more customers, so we want to have an engaging place for people to stay, with tables for conversations, and counters, WiFi and electrical outlets for computers.
Also coffee places: we want to follow the modern design trend of ALL THE ECHOES ALL THE TIME.

Reminded me of the time I actually did get carded for buying root beer, back in the day.
Um, yeah, i can show you my id, yes i’m over 21, no i don’t need to be to buy anything in my cart

Apparently you can’t buy “non-alcoholic dry hopped brew” at the self checkout either, I guess because the word beer appears on the label after the words “not a” instead of “root.”
Crickets
This cricket hitched a ride inside on a jacket. I snapped a picture for #iNaturalist (yes, really), then started to pick up the jacket to take it back outside. It jumped onto my other hand. But it stayed there while I walked to the door and opened it with my other hand…and it jumped off as I was stepping outside.
