Google reminded me of some of the food I cooked over the years. I cannot wait to fire up my smoker next week as santa told me one of my presents will be fresh kielbasa!

Well, then the Supreme Court and Republicans need to set up their bank accounts and auto-payments on my loans by June 30th!

There was a lot of despair tonight but I eventually finished day 2 part 1 of advent of code.

I successfully use strtok() to parse the input but the hardest part was a typo and a logic error.

I think I need a better way of walking through my code or maybe some unit testing to make sure what I think I'm doing is what I am actually doing.

#AdventOfCode

It's finally happening! I'm taking Friday night off from any coding/work and finally am starting up my 8gb Raspberry Pi minecraft server(LAN only for now).

I was using ubuntu as early as this summer and I had not seen this, but apparently it's something everyone knows about. I love that Linux can perform really well AND be slightly non-serious.

When I googled this terminal text and browsed reddit I also learned about `apt moo` :)

Round two of covid. Starting with thanksgiving we have battled the flu and then covid. Looking forward to checking off most of the wintertime illnesses after I am done with this!

The Steelers game before we were losing(before the game started).

But I don’t want a carbon intensive jpg!!

Here is a take on whether we should replace everything with functional programming(from https://m.slashdot.org/story/407123)

The joys of homeownership. Our pool needed work when we bought our house so we had the previous owner close it. Which to them meant poor a bunch of shock into the pool and call it a day. 😂

Here is our diatomaceous earth filter without the diatomaceous earth(apparently the filter should look white). It looks like each aspect of the pool will need some work to get going again but overall it is in good shape considering the lack of maintenance.

This will save me some points on my Calc assignment. I was unsure if I could have a normal line if I couldn’t have a defined slope but I guess that’s just what a vertical line is?

And like the perfect stack exchange answer it is perfectly seasoned with a bitter, salty reply 😂

Gosh #LaTeX is beautiful. This is probably the only reason I will miss taking the math requirements for my degree. :)

Another #Unix book. Need to keep an eye out for greybeards roaming around.

Spotted in the wild at a church rummage sale today! Complete with a section on using ed

An evening visitor. Despite being just 5 miles from downtown #pittsburgh we see tons of our woodland friends.
