I think it's fine to post screenshots now. #Timespinner

I bought sheets so now I'm getting email trying to sell me sheets by NULL. How many sheets do you robots think I need?

The obnoxious thing is that I can see exactly where I need to change upstream code to fix this but know that the patch would not be accepted and I can't just replicate the buggy method with the fix in my own project because upstream uses private API that I'd rather not bring in.

Failed to fix a bug, but in doing so I found lots of bug tracker discussions rejecting patches to upstream introducing APIs that would have at least given me other workarounds to try. I was planning on getting rid of that dependency for 2.0 anyway so now I have another reason to do that. The down side: replacing this is going to be a ton of work.

I need coffee grinders to stop breaking. One of the ones that was just out for repair failed again today. It can power on for about 1 second before something in the electronics catches fire and trips the breaker. I might be able to fix that but I was counting on getting other work done.

3 boxes of tea arrived today. Also another 1000ish pounds of coffee.

@chest_bot open chest

@chest_bot play with dragon

My @chest_bot dragon brought back a baby dragon and I can't feed it to get a 2nd dragon because the command targets the not-baby dragon who isn't hungry so I've deposited both items with @ATM

Apparently it's a thing these days for young people to not delete voicemails they like so they can listen to them again later. If your phone has a headphone jack, you can get a male-male mini jack. Plug one end into the headphone jack on your phone, the other end into the microphone jack on your computer, and you can record that to a file (which you can even move back onto your phone if you really want to). Then you can delete the voicemail so you can get new messages you might like even more.

If you put your phone number on your resume, maybe set up your voicemail (alternately, make sure it isn't full) so people can leave you a message?

I've just noticed that I forgot my phone at home today. Hope nobody is trying to contact me on that.

Once this is done it needs to go out to an international panel for feedback to see if further editing is required and then at the end of the year it'll go out for translation into 6-7 other languages.

Finally got a good start on some editing (actually a rewrite, but I'll call it editing). I need to go back and re-make some graphs and double check some formulae as well as bring in content from a different document that should be consolidated.

The cat is hunting something imaginary.

Blatantly ripping off @Taweret@octodon.social and also making shrimp fried rice.

Since closing the account and unsubscribing from emails apparently does nothing to stop LinkedIn from sending those messages I've set up a filter on my end.

Today's product development work was challenging. I've had entirely too much coffee on not nearly enough food. Time for lunch.
