everyone near Seattle HURRY UP LOOK OUTSIDE
hearing a bunch of neighborhood parents talk about their daily ChatGPT usage really puts into perspective how ubiquitous this stuff has become

atproto idea: push-up tracker (+ general fitness tracking)
I have a set of adjustable dumbbells at home. I think between those and general body weight stuff (push ups etc.) I can get a pretty decent routine going.

opened a laptop that I haven't used in a while, and didn't notice that it hadn't caught up with the time change yet, which made for a very confusing morning

Fun story: the dev lead for Windows 3.1 required all his devs to use machines which were dog slow every day because he figured that if they had to put up with slower machines than our customers they would make sure Windows 3 ran REALLY well on all machines.
This laptop PC I got for testing is dog slow. My Parallels VM version of Windows 11 is actually a lot faster.

But it works and it was dirt cheap, so it’s cool for testing because a lot of us have dog slow computers out there.

My posting has peaked too early in the Die Hard season. This is the best it's going to get. I should just close up shop and come back to socials in Jan.
welcome to the party, Paul

one of the things I'm NOT looking forward to when returning to office next year is driving in this lousy weather
It's raining, it's pouring, and in these conditions driving is never boring.

Slow down on wet roads. If you start to lose traction, stay calm and follow our master brick driver's lead.

having a wireless computer mouse means you can sit across the room with a coffee and occasionally jiggle the mouse to keep the computer active (I definitely don't do that)
