So much work to do, so little motivation. It’s going to be a long day. 😞

Afternoon at the ballpark.

Taking the new COSMIC desktop environment from System76 for a spin this morning. Installed it in a virtual machine running Fedora Kinoite without issue. My first impression is it feels real snappy.

Live performance by Shamarr Allen at work today. Makes for a nice break in the stressful day job.

I haven’t been much for going to the cinema to see whatever the hot new film is since covid. But seeing a silent film, in a movie palace, with a live Wurlitzer organ, is a truly magical experience.

Tonight’s Silent Movie Monday.

Sunday afternoon visiting the lighthouse in Mukilteo.

I’ve gone ahead and set my fediverse username, @spacenerdmo@spacenerdmo.org. Going to be very selective as to who I follow though and I may kill it if it becomes problematic.

And related to my previous post… The downside to working in downtown Seattle is when light rail service is suspended to where you live due to a power issue, it takes 3 times as long to get home by bus. 😐

Unexpected perk of working in a downtown Seattle skyscraper. I’m getting a good view of the Blue Angels practice this afternoon for their performance this weekend. 😁

It’s been a little over a year since I’ve moved to Seattle and my commute switched to being reliant on mass transit. For the most part it’s been glorious but it does have the occasional challenge. Today’s morning commute involved trains being single tracked, having to switch trains at the second stop, and then train losing power in the tunnel between stations for about 5 minutes. With all that it still took me less time to get to work as compared to my old commute by car in California.

Quick test of some cross-posting magic I hacked together.

It’s that time again. Having a cookie and giving some blood. 🩸

It’s really gross how much of this Copilot garbage is showing up in all of Microsoft products. And because my employer is such a heavy Microsoft user it is getting harder to simply ignore. 😖

I want to write a bot to do my day job for me. So that I can have more time to write bots.
