Tor is offering a free e-book of Seanan McGuire’s Middlegame this week!
It’s really, really good. Sort of a modern horror fantasy focusing on alchemy and time loops with characters who have been created to be superhuman at things like math, language, order, chaos, etc.
Possibly my favorite of her books that I’ve read. Definitely recommended!
“I want another pony!”
Wondering how many times we need to do the “look, you already have one of these and it works fine”/”but this one’s BETTER!!!” dance
So, picking up my glasses from my desk was enough to jostle the mouse and wake up the computer, but not enough to knock over the quarter that I stood on edge last night right next to where I set my glasses down.
I love how ClamAV is still on a 0.x release after a decade and a half of active development and wide use in production environments!
“No, we are not putting Swedish Fish in banana bread.”
Oh fun…some spammer used their mailing list email as the reply-to address
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.
Big difference between a signed document and a singed document, thank you typing fingers.
Found an eBay seller who’s selling off the individual keys from another model that *might* fit.
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.
It should not be this hard to find ONE replacement key for a desktop keyboard.
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.🤦♂️
