Kind: Notes

Shavua tov everyone, I hope everybody had a restful Shabbat.

I spent a huge part of the afternoon napping, after having slept until almost 10 this morning, so I'll likely be up late. For the time being I'm just catching up on the things I care about on the fediverse.

I hope everyone who doesn't observe Shabbat is having an awesome weekend.

Get in #babkans and other #fedizens, we've made it to Friday.

That's right fedizens, we shipped another week, so prepare to enjoy a weekend of rest and fun if you can manage it.

If not, sneak a flask into work with you and take sips during your breaks. Make sure the liquid inside is clear.

I'm going to finish up the rest of this afternoon's work, andthen shut everything down.

Shabbat shalom if that's your thing, and if you're an atheist, have a wonderful Saturday absent of fuckery. I'll see you all on the other side.

I took a huge nap, which was a good thing because right before that I was trying to ssh into a server with the wrong password and I did it several times and didn't realize what I was doing until after I woke up. So yeah that's been Thursday.

No fuck you Dell we are not installing updates right now.

Man bookmarks buffer getting a real workout today.

Get in #babkans and other #fedizens, we're doing Thursday.

Breakfast has been consumed, the cleaning people are coming over later on this morning, and I'm tired. Today I hope will be a lite day. I'm still working on my first cup of coffee and finishing up some emails.

Get in #babkans and other #fedizens we're doing Wednesday.

The laundry has been brought in and sent out, and I'm tired. John is playing around with Goldwave I think, we're going to do pizza for lunch I think, and then I'm going to take a nap I think since sleep wasn't particularly awesome last night.

Yes, I know, that's lots of thinking. It's just that my brain isn't really working.

I think I'm done with all site editor tasks for today. Wow that's mind-numbingly repetitive.

OK I've switched the playlist to our smooth jazz list, because it's approaching 2PM in the afternoon and I'm getting that 2 o'clock feeling, and I probably need to quit with the caffeine.

Mmmm Infected Mushroom.

The WordPress site editor is making me want to have a cigarette. Which I haven't had since last March.

It's not that you can't use it with a screen reader, you can. It's just that activating/clicking eight different things to accomplish a single task is nightmarishly inefficient, and I honestly can't fathom why anyone would consider this preferable to, say, banging your head repeatedly against a wall.

Marketers who think they can design and build websites are a huge part of the reason the web is so fucked up on every level. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Get in #babkans and other #fedizens, we're doing Tuesday.

I slept better last night, and it's a good thing too because this will be a busy morning for both myself and John. He's already at his desk and we both have coffee in hand ready to seize the day. We'll see what happens this afternoon.

Come on Siri voice hurry up and download I want to use this on my new watch like I was using it on my old one.

OK that's it shove Ben Shapiro back into whatever locker he crawled out of as quickly as possible. https://forward.com/culture/music/577869/ben-shapiro-facts-rap-tom-macdonald/

Dinner has been consumed. We had subs and chips. We have now commenced coasting through the rest of the day.

We're winding down the day and waiting on a small grocery order. Before I forget, our Instacart shopper this time is one we've had before, and he is made of win.

New rule: If you've created a user interface of any kind, and you try to get cute with it by attempting to use the most cringeworthy rap lyrics as labels and instructions, and I still have to use your shitty product because work, I fucking hate you forever and will probably devote at least some energy to figuring out how to trash you and your user interface online where it'll make you famous.

Wow I ended up taking a morning nap after breakfast. Let's see how the rest of the day goes after that.
