Right after I wrote this plaintive toot, I (unrelatedly) got invited to a party

@walfischbucht best wishes for you and your mother

Loneliness, eh? For me it's the major bequest of the pandemic, even now with things supposedly "opening up"

Something really poignant about this late career performance from Ben Webster, I've been enjoying it this weekend #Jazz #Music https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=krAs4je6BzM

@lordampersand That's fantastic

Having a very 90s Saturday night here, listening to tracker music while making a Quake1 level #retrogaming

Here's some confusing #Design in CentOS 7 #Linux. In a panel of power-saving options, we see "Wi-Fi: turn off Wi-Fi to save power". I interpreted this as a feature that drops connectivity when the computer is inactive, and clicked to turn it off. Actually the switch was for *Wi-Fi itself* and what sounded like a feature description was a hint.

In a month or so I'm gonna hit 50 A4 pads' worth of #journaling. It's not really worth the space (particularly over years) so I think I'll take that as a sign to buy a cheap consumer flatbed scanner and digitise them (then throw it on a password-protected hard disk and forget about it till I hit the next 50!)

Updated my expenditure tracking for the last six weeks. Ah, I do like a nice sense of control #controllingpersonality #undercontrol

Well this is a great read, and that's what I call game dev. Gosh we have it easy these days! https://all-things-andy-gavin.com/2011/02/04/making-crash-bandicoot-part-3/

@jayeless ha that's a raw deal! I'm sure prices here have been jacked up in the post-Covid reopening, but even with that I think a normal price for us is more like €5.50-€6.50

I got what I deserved for drinking in Grand Canal Dock - ground zero for gentrification in Dublin - last night: €7.50 pints

Trying to learn maths on Wikipedia is a distinctive sensation, because every concept you're presented with very quickly opens up new concepts that you want to learn so as to understand the first one

A hind told me: don't be afraid of barking dogs. A heron told me: wait stilly at the borders of realms. The ghost of a wolf told me: don't reject madness.

@walfischbucht great colours!
