I feel bad. I was reading about regex backtracking and DoS vulnerabilities. I tried (a+)+b on an online regex testing site to see just how slow parsing is … and the site went unresponsive. Sorry.

I was watching tv and eating potato chips. Wife rolled by, noticed crumbs on my black jeans, said Hold on, I’ll fix that <finger pointing back and forth at crumbs>. She came bk w lint roller / chip crumb accumulator. Problem solved

What did I do today? Hint.: The painting in the Sistine Chapel has *tremendous* depth - portions appear to be 3D. As just one example, these pillar platforms looked fully three dimensional.

I did the same thing. However, mine didn’t end well. Someone got hurt.

Today we toured Assisi. Very hilly but that made it even more unique. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisi

Sister and husband moved near us. Their new home has 2 odd wall switches that should have been located elsewhere. Or should had been 3-ways. I fixed the situation w Lutron Caseta wireless switches. Sister very happy w outcome.
Two wall switch plates. A single gang toggle plate on the left and a double gang Decora on the right. The Decoras contain Lutron Caseta Pico remotes. All 3 switches are labeled; left to right: Kitchen, Counter, Table.

Our SleepNumber mattress was on edge for months, air bladders had fallen to one edge. I flipped it bottom side up, unzipped the bottom, rearranged the bladders. Thankfully bladders were labeled ThisSideToBottom. Very quickly flipped it over - like a thick pancake - so parts didn’t have time to shift
The inside of a Sleep Number mattress. Show two air bladders.

Helped my son remove lots of plaster and lathe in a room he was refurbishing. We bagged the debris. Bags were really heavy. Made a sled mechanism to lower the bags from the 2nd floor to ground level. Worked great.
5 sec video of an extension ladder with a 2’W x 4’H piece of plywood sliding down the ladder. The ladder is resting on the ground and leaning on a 2nd floor deck. The plywood has flanges so in stays on the ladder. It also has a small shelf on the bottom. A black trash bag is on the sled shelf and the bag rolls off the shelf as the sled comes to a stop. A thin rope is tied to the sled so the person at the top can pull the sled back up.

Made cardboard tunnels for our dog. Taped several boxes together. The maze including a tray for a Scooby snack and a hole where dog can retrieve said snack. Eye holes don’t align and where for added silliness. Worked great and was fun for everyone. Each time I dropped in a treat the tong appeared
Cardboard with cut outs for a dog’s snout and eyes. A dog’s nose and tongue is visible. A tiny tray holds a small dog treat. The dog tongue is slurping the treat. Eye holes are too far apart to be useful.

I tired the new GitHub.com UI for a day but turned it off for now. One reason was there were a few keyboard quirks that frustrated me.
