why does sam altman always look like his soul got sucked out by some kind of red skull nazi time portal? #openai #nazitimeportal

my dad found a pretty wild medical text at a local charity shop

all these people scrambling to back up their old google analytics data before the whole system gets deleted on july 1. makes me glad i got the process going last week. bet there’s crazy amounts of API requests slamming google right now.

one thing i really miss from twitter is the people who would do in-depth threads on history/archaeology/science/trivia topics. do those accounts exist on mastodon?

well, got one dvd burned. waiting on some new discs to do the others. in the meantime, putting the dvd covers together. difficult to find cases in stores nearby, so had to cannibalize some old wii games and movies

i had the brilliant idea to do custom DVDs of the "tolkien edit" of the hobbit movies for a father's day gift. now at a friend's house attempting to burn dual layer DVDs on their old imac, and it's not going well. got the message "disc burning failed due to a medium write error" after spending 1.5hr burning the first.

(cat takes my spot when i get up though)

today i’m working on my back. standing desks aren’t just good for standing!

trying out the pro trial of mona for mac, and it’s a nice client! especially now that i have the (temporary) ability to tweak the theme colours.

this week, the kei truck hauled:
- antique bed + mattress
- couch + large cat condo
- dresser, desk, chairs, shelves, misc (helped family move)
- several hundred KG of cement + forms
- corner display hutch

haha wow — the ivy that covers the wall outside is making its way inside!

wish i’d gotten a shot of this raven spreading its wings, but it looked like a badass medieval omen up there

HDMI just feels so bad — the cables always feel loose in their ports yet are difficult to get in, as if somethings going to break if i push too hard. and then they flake out, needing a little wiggle or tilt to start working again. icky.

after years of wanting one, bought a used roli seaboard off a local reverb guy, and it is so fun to mess around with!

can you imagine if notion had a major data loss issue? just had a hiccup where my last month of worklogs weren’t loading on the calendar… and the panic!

maybe i will start to periodically export for peace of mind.
