Any conversation

Ahoy denizens of textlog. Like the concept.

Putting a slide deck together (outside of work), despite agreeing with Tufte on this matter. I’ll also create a handout that tells the story better than the slides and deliver that, too, but was asked to produce a slide deck, and I think that’s part of the “effort theater.” Using #latexnotesfollow Beamer for the slides, but not a theme that looks like Beamer because humans have eyes.

Very cool: our kids' bathroom toilet overflowed last night, resulting in water draining into our kitchen on the floor below.

You can now change the theme/color scheme appearance by visiting heretextlogenterA quieter place for your thoughts.. Thanks to @paratonerprofilefollow who implemented this #featurenotesfollow first in their #mobilenotesfollow app and which I shamelessly ripped from. #open_sourcenotesfollow

hello

was feeling a little fancy, bought a bag of gesha coffee beans :))

I’m ambivert. When I spend time outdoors and with people I want to keep doing that, I become very extrovert. Can’t code in that mode. It’s hard to switch back to introvert but when that happens time flies really quick. A month can pass and it feels like a week.

there's a gentle kind of space not some echoing cave nor some incessant chirping flock more a darkened back room lit by a projector candid photos of your neighbors songs made only for friendly ears and the kind of brave words that rarely make it out of our hearts

Productive weekend started four hours ago for me (at 06:00 EDT). Visited aunties and mum. Just got home, and waiting for wife to finish preparing to get on the road again. Next destination: nursing home (visit family, and “adopted” elders).

I have a toddler. I come home from work, cook, feed, clean, wash up. We read stories and play. I put him to bed. Then I put something on the television and my wife and I scroll on our phones until she goes to bed. I am not so careless with the little free time I have. I continue to scroll until about 1 am. The next morning I do it again. On the weekends, I get to drink wine.

I was curious of testing the Omarchy distribution this week just because I had some free time to work on it. I saw a lot of hate around it and kind of get the point but so far at least for what I have been doing it wasn't terrible (at least at the point of writing this) although I am not trying to convince anybody to use it. But it just remember me how much do I hate MS.

Job I was hoping for gave me the "we found another applicant" treatment. I don't begrudge them for that, since I know I had a 'less than adequate initial coding interview. But still, it stings and sucks. Hopefully my other interviews yield better results...

My son's new class doesn't have a Smith, Johnson, or Williams. It's the Hughes kid who breaks in at #96Name CensusUS Last Names · Popularity, Meanings & Census DataEvery US last name from the Census Bureau surname files, ranked by prevalence.. I expect these kids with strong stage names to have pants and personalities to match.

hello folks

Sharing your work with others is a hard computer science problem in 2026, the Year of our Lord. You either here the sound of chirping crickets or the sound of "AI Slop" yells.

a constant, existential pull so old I couldn't tell you the end or draw its shape between kind acceptance and striving, struggling, writhing, climbing learning, growing, discontent "do you feel this way, too, at endless war with longing itself?" but the birds and trees and ants and wind in their own marvelous design don't reply #poemnotesfollow

For #foodnotesfollow, the tension between #timenotesfollow & #moneynotesfollow to eat healthy is an interesting problem. If you don't have time, it is difficult: If you don't have money, it's difficult:

Spotted this Royal Air Force A400 over the lake yesterday, it was so different from civil planes www.planespotters.net/…/zm420-royal-air-force-…atlas-c1-a400m-180
