I hope they're making a Switch remake for Oracle of Seasons/Ages like they did for Link's Awakening. I would buy that in a heartbeat!


I really enjoyed AoC's puzzle for day 16 this year. Doing a bunch of pattern matching in Elixir to decode binary data is fun, really happy with the solution I ended up with.


The dog is sleeping on my lap, so I'm pinned to the couch. There are worse ways to be.


Once again, I got a new PB for Lost Judgment in today's stream: 2:55:27, under 3 hours for the first time!


It seems that not having to go to work anymore does not make me immune to migraines.


Got a new PB for the Lost Judgment speedrun while streaming on Tuesday: 3:08:51! Thanks to the folks who were hanging out for this, it was really fun. I'm planning to stream more attempts soon, including at least one this weekend, so look out for that if you're interested.


This week is my last week working at Stripe. I'm really gonna miss all the great people I've gotten to work with, but I'm long overdue for some rest. Not sure what comes next, I'll figure that out later.


Yesterday, I did my first attempt at a Lost Judgment Any% speedrun. Under 4 hours was my goal, and I came in just under that, so I'm pretty happy! Lots of room here to improve.


If I ever start a company, we'll use Slack but there'll be no work talk allowed in there, only shitposting.


I got my second Pfizer shot today. Can't express how grateful I am to be able to be vaccinated. We need to make sure this is available to everyone, not just certain parts of the world.


I submitted my first port to FreeBSD tonight. Nothing big, just the BIND exporter for Prometheus, but I'm still excited to contribute.


This gets at the most ridiculous part of this Basecamp thing. Both Basecamp and HEY are products that facilitate people communicating, which means political issues are deeply important to the product.

I got a little Dell computer from someone on Craigslist. I put FreeBSD on it and set up a few jails, moved a few of the more stateful things off my Raspberry Pi cluster. It's a great little box and I love it.


The other day the person at the Arby's drive-thru asked if I wanted crinkle fries, as though the curly fries weren't the entire reason I was there in the first place.



Yes! Vaccine appointment booked for tomorrow! Put that Pfizer in me.


Colorado now has COVID vaccines open to the general public but it looks like there aren't any appointments available anywhere near me. Guess I'll have to keep trying.
