  • ๐Ÿฟ This movie has grown on me since last year, Spirited is kicking off the movie viewing experience of Christmas Eve. Three stars…but that might change once this movie is over. ๐ŸŽ„

  • Migrated 18TB of data from one server to another and even though the โ€œnewโ€ server has redundancy, Iโ€™m still hesitating to click โ€deleteโ€ on the old server… ๐Ÿคฃ

  • Dear Apple
    I’m pretty darn sure you know that I keep marking emails with “Payment Completed” as spam, esp when they contain image attachments and ask me to contact the support team (with a very odd URL) if I have concerns. Perhaps you could just block them moving forward?

    Thank you,

  • So, I did a thing last night…I finally moved to a new server case. ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ“ท

    Photo of a tech mess: two computer cases (one horizontal on the floor with open wires exposed and the other vertical with wires poking out), parts on the floor, three computer fan boxes, screws everywhere...on top of a grey/white carpet (the carpet is on top of a hard-wood floor), with a Christmas tree in the background (presents under it), and a couch on the edge of the upper-right side of the photo.

    It took far longer to get started than I though it would and I ended up with a bloody hand (it’s a very nice case but that metal is sharp ๐Ÿคฃ)…and I haven’t installed case fans yet but…the server is back online and running!

  • ๐Ÿฟ Ended up doing a double-feature tonight and watched the Christmas Setup, a lovely holiday movie. ๐ŸŽ„ It’s sappy but I do love seeing LGBTQ movies hitting the mainstream. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

  • ๐Ÿฟ We watched a Christmas Story tonight. ๐ŸŽ„ It isn’t my favorite movie but my Partner loves it, so every year we watch it.

  • It’s hard to stay up all night, running around the house, keeping everyone up… ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ˜ผ๐Ÿˆ

    I guess I have become a crazy cat person, all I seem to do lately is take pictures of Alex. ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿ“ท

  • Finished reading: Battlefield Reclaimer by David North ๐Ÿ“š
    โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

    This book, a re-read for me, is the first book of the Guardian of Aster Fall series and in my opinion, sets up the universe for said series rather nicely. The character development is decent and the RPG improvement system is very cool.

  • I don’t think I played enough video games this year… ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŽฎ

  • I was going to spend my lunch break working on creating a single-page app, to bulk-upload photos to Micro.blog but…I ended up throwing in the towel and just wrote a C# script instead. It still makes me happy Microsoft open sourced .Net and it runs natively on the Mac. ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ˜€ #HappyGeek
