Is Punk fediverse famous yet?

@yomimono Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'd probably go for the little sleeper.

Apparently parrot.vc generated, "With a powerful narrative, you should be able to go from raw materials to a launch ready vehicle in 60 days." I'd like to remind everybody that that's pretty much how Patchouli built her moon rocket.

Sometimes I wonder if the cat is copying me or if I'm just being cat-like. As a child I was raised by a cat so either is plausible.

I saw the cat playing with luggage and when she noticed I was looking at her she looked straight at me and went *MEOW*

@eldaking It's time for another Good Idea Bad Idea.

Good Idea: Connecting devices to the Internet.

Bad Idea: Connecting devices to their corporate overlords by way of the Internet so they can deliver less than half a product that starves the cat when they have technical difficulties.

@Satsuma I just tried this and could get no visible feedback on option selection from the keyboard but could click the vote button. Could just be me not knowing what I'm doing, though. In my case there's also xdotool from the command line, but it's hard to estimate the screen coordinates of the things you want to click on, though I suppose you could make rulers to tape to the sides of the screen and tie a washer to a bit of string to measure that to get your command line arguments.

Got to talk about hot pot at work today. That's the meal that got me to learn how to use chopsticks. I looked at that and said something like, "I don't see how that's going to work if I don't learn to use chopsticks," so that's what I did.

Just got the code for free attendance at my next event since I'm teaching a class there. Unless something else comes up super last minute before then my next event is in Portland, OR this April. I'm considering taking the train since Amtrak runs a Chicago to Portland route and I've never done such a long trip by rail.

Tonight's cat pic

The house is plenty warm but the cat knows it's getting cold out and has gone into extra heat seeker mode, which is really something considering that this is the same cat who only has enough cuddles after 36 hours.

@debugninja@banana.dog @fireglow Good job, now get yourself banned to make sure it works.

@debugninja@banana.dog Assuming those services are set up reasonably maybe a 4. If you're not sure if they're reasonably set up then yikes, please fix that.

wrist makes a good cat pillow

My hands were in sanitizing solution so the cat is going crazy over that. She loves the smell of bleach, I guess.
