Which means all the autoreplies and bounces and complaints and challenge-responses and everything are going out to the same list.
And they’ve got a lot of website contact emails on the list too, so I’m getting random tech support ticket confirmations and thanks-for-your-interest and so on along with everything else.

I sometimes wonder if the title of #NoMansSky is a pun on A Space Odyssey (referencing Odysseus giving “No Man” as his name), but all the sci-fi references in and around the game pretty much guarantee I’ll never be able to narrow down the search terms enough to find out.

I have no idea how I managed to lose my sunglasses halfway through a walk without stopping to set anything down.
Thinking about this, I did take them off in the shade. I probably put them in my pocket and then they fell out somewhere along the way.

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 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. 🤦

As far as I know, anyway
I don’t know, what do you think?

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

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.

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
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. 😬

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.
