Setting up a voip phone thing at work

What I wouldn't give for a ring sound that sounds like a phone ringing so that in the rare occasion I get a call i can identify it!

I have 3 different messaging apps each with their own bland, innert notification noises called "neural funk" and "blur"

@lhsabre.bsky.social my dude, hope you're okay. Think your discord credentials might be hacked.

Or, congratulations.

Watching Star Trek and...

Why are Klingons written so inconsistently?

"Who us ready for a one way trip to glory?" and then, like thirty seconds there's a swarm of plant monster zombies and the same Klingon yells to withdraw after fighting for a few seconds.

Wish they could be more consistent.

I've been planning on setting up a low power NAS for data and VM experimentation.

Finally did the dang thing and picked up a Aoostar. I figured it would have no-name ram and SSD, but dang! It's running Crucial!

I can't believe they went ahead and made a 2026. Who even asked for that?

Like, shouldn't we stop making new years until we figure out what's going wrong with them in manufacturing?

My mother didn't think a fire extinguisher was fun enough to be a Christmas gift.

Okay, I've decided on a 2026 goal.

I am going to go to a convention somewhere to get the autograph of Dave Goelz. It's long past time.

I enjoy wrapping gifts.

They're going to give The Muppet Show another go.

I don't know how to feel about it. I only got through the first episode of Muppets Mayhem.

I get that i probably should have lined up some references weeks ago just to have them standing by, but I've honestly never had a prospective employer ask for them.

Now they spring the ask on me and want them today?!?

Dammit.

Got about an hour of sleep last night.
Had my final interview this morning.
Rambled out couple of nothing answers,
but I think I really nailed one of them near the end.

They're interviewing other people, naturally, but I have hope
and a mighty need for a nap.
Shouldn't nap, but gunna.

How come there wasn't a moment when silence followed some bad event and then one of the animal looks around and says, "Awkward"?

That would have been a killer pull from George Orwell's Animal Farm.
First trailer for Andy Serkis’ ‘ANIMAL FARM’ has dropped.

In theaters May 1.

This is officially too many steps. I could have been hired and fired by now.

My mom's getting a new stove today and pulling out the old one, we uncovered a paleontologic wonder with an intact T-Rex fossil.

Today I designed and cut the lumber for a bathroom table. Tomorrow is assembly and painting.

The jig I made to repeat the cuts did *work* but mid first cut it was obvious it was exceedingly dangerous (to both the table saw and myself). Lesson learned and my body is still intact. Making stuff is fun
