My coffee this morning has a whole end of year mood going on.

Nick is a lovely human with whom I am privileged to work.

Unfortunately for him, I am an irreverent and incorrigible prankster who has been feverish for several days, and as such have pent up devilry. Ergo…

Really not clear what mood you’re trying to put me in here Spotify.

I drive along a shrouded quayside. I pass boats. Cranes. Fisheries. Strangers, looking for the heart of Saturday night. I stir to glimpse the vitality spilling from lantern lit bars, nestled among the anchorages, hidden and out of reach.

My newborn stirs in the back, and I am once more white noise.

My aching bones are cracking at least two spines today.

Still hunting for a syntax highlighting theme I like. This is not it.

Aw maaan.

I'm a very serious, very senior, very professional software engineer.

I have a long plane ride pending, and that quality of liminal space demands particular reading.

I make no apology for how I am.

Cursed layout.

(J and U keyscaps swapped to keep the home row bump in the right place).

Put some o-rings on and love the feel, though some of the caps are now only tenuously attached to the switches due to short mounting posts.

In other minutiae: why am I like this?

Just tidied my desk and my book stack pretty accurately reveals what occupies my evening mind of late.

Apropos not of nothing.

(It is not the point, but the physical book itself is lovely.)

Lighthouse scores aren't everything etc but let me celebrate my victory.

Now my unwritten blog posts are delivered to you _blazing fast_.

I am like, super duper slowly still porting this blog to astro.

I landed on MD Nichrome as a title font, Open Sans body. Trying to manifest cosmic bureaucratic agency horror vibes. Work to do.

On a field blanketed with the blades of fallen enemies, the lone champion has vanquished another pirate foe… but what cost is this life of violence reaping from his mortal soul?

Fear me, for I stalked the pines under the waxing moon, sighing softly the old nocturnes, and deftly plucked from winter’s bough this ancient talisman, which I have mounted — observing the ancient rites — to bring smooches.

Spending too long playing with fonts, obviously. Kinda digging the saturated analogue vibe of thermochrome, from the awesome @mass-driver.com

Hm. Should I be getting the schema types here, rather than any?

Unexpectedly long break on this, mostly being busy at work and travel, but back to it. I know I have a bunch of images in some posts that I'll have to grab, and it's nice to be able to just follow a train of errors to find them.

Damn, couldn’t find my gate.
