12aug19 I can't remember if I'd mentioned that Vela died. It stopped being able to see its own network adapter, which was built into the motherboard. And it was generally flaking out in other ways. Fine, I said, I'll buy a new motherboard. I can't.
11aug19 Spent most of the day fighting with an Atomic Pi. I finally broke down and bought the mini power interfaces for five of them, and spun one up today. Slightly disappointed to discover it's the same CPU as the LattePanda, but that's ok, it
7aug19 Got new fivefingers. One pair doesn't fit and will need to be sent back. Toaster experiments. Work.
06aug19 Stayed home because my stomach was still grumpy and I had a dental appointment this afternoon. Five cavities. Weird. So, they're getting filled. First four next week. Finally got some code deployed at $newjob.
5aug19 Came home early because my stomach was bugging me. Still is. Been reading Fall, Stephenson's latest coffee table.
03aug19 LJS for lunch. Almost bought a toaster at SVdP, but the rubber bits were at the sticky stage of degradation. Played some video games. Discovered the Planetary Report is available in pdf form, all the way back to the beginning. Reading comics.
2aug19 Huh. Coulda sworn I posted yesterday. Ah well. 1:1 with boss today. Weirdly enough, when I explained my frustration with the branch process, and she described her plans/hopes to make it better, they were exactly what I was going to suggest, almost
31jul19 Ooh, tomorrow is pay day. First paycheck in almost three months. When I posted yesterday I'd forgotten that I actually had ordered the Motiv ring. Sizing set should be here tomorrow. Didn't get a proper test of the bedtime feature last night, as I
30jul19 Doing a terrible job of blogging lately, aren't I? Basically, I get up at 6am, go to work, come home, and play video games until it's time to go to bed way too early, because I can't brain anything else. The past two days
28jul19 Video games. Started listening to slash reading The Peripheral. Teddy's for lunch. Going to try wfh in the morning tomorrow.
27jul19 Up earlyish. Breakfast at Leena's, then got my nails done, then best buy, then video games, then attempts to write code, then back to video games.
26jul19 Sprint retro. Got into the office ridiculously early, so left super early too. Crap pizza for dinner.
25jul19 Still working on that sleep thing. Forgot to post last night. Team meeting today, somewhat disquieting. Meanwhile, oldjob stepped on a rake and that felt pretty good.
23jul19 Mediocre sleep. Decent day at work. Managed to stop at Theorem on the way home. My new gaming laptop arrived today, so I've spent the evening getting that set up. It's a Dell G7 15", and its name is Edasich. I really wish I
22jul19 Slept slightly better, with 50mg of diphenhydramine. Don't expect that to work tonight, but will try it anyway. Definitely displaying too much competence at work. Got more work added to my queue already. The more I dig into this code bade, the more of
21jul19 I haven't slept well - or much at all - in over a week. I'd assumed it was the whole getting-up-early thing, but it continued this weekend, which has been quite unpleasant. I was wanting to go to bed by 17 today. I've managed
19jul19 Good day. Light traffic, meeting with manager, meeting with a couple coworkers. Got a third PR up. I've mistakenly displayed advanced competence, and may regret it later.
18jul19 Got up at 6. Clocked in by 7:25, which meant I was done at 15:25, and home before 17, which was nice. On the down side, I haven't slept well at all this week,so I'm exhausted. Got my first meeting with
17jul19 Second day, second pull request. First one got merged to staging, after a few adjustments. Meanwhile, got my monitors adjusted to my taste. Still evaluating commute options.
16jul19 First day of the new job. Didn't sleep adequately, because brains are stupid. Got up early, was ready to go shortly after my alarm went off. Got to the office, got shown around a bit, got laptop set up - after some complications over
15jul19 Lunch at 3Lions, donuts from Aurora Donuts, endo appt (all good), got vpn server working, dinner at 3Lions, ice cream. Tomorrow, new job.
