I go by my middle name only when people call me it by accident. I haven’t gotten used to it, either. I always think it’s funny that people will call me by that name, not knowing that they’re calling me by a name I actually have.

TIL that Orion Kerkering’s first name is Richard, and so is the name of his father and grandfather, and that they all go by their middle names, all of which are different.

What are you up to this weekend?

Richard “Human Error”iksson @sillygwailo.com · 9h

And now to catch up on my Slack, which was supposed to replace email.

Holy cow!

Shrimp alert in Los Angeles!

OK, so much for that.

Brutal so-called Yankees fans who won’t stay till the end because any damn thing can happen in baseball.

I really did have “I have the sunshine on the other line, I have take that call” in my calendar for a while there last year, didn’t I?

@suearcher You’re right. I am happy to know that!

Richard “Human Error”iksson @sillygwailo.com · 2d

Yup, skill issue. Turning notifications off and on made it request permissions again.

Richard “Human Error”iksson @sillygwailo.com · 2d

The Mastodon mobile web view is still really good, and the PWA (adding it as an “app” on my iPhone) is not sending me notifications, but I think that’s a technical issue on my end (or a skill issue). #meta

I’m giving away my ticket to tonight’s screening of A Better Tomorrow 3 at Fox Theatre here in Toronto. Who wants it?
