I have a complicated relationship with Valentines Day. ๐ค No, it’s not actually complicated, I just hate it. ๐
So, I was shocked to see what my Partner left for me this morning. ๐ท
He really is too sweet. ๐ซถ๐ป
(In my defense, we did go out on Monday to “celebrate” the fake holiday.)

Well this is an interesting turn of events…it looks like Google has completely blocked my IP address from watching YouTube videos. ๐ค๐ณ

It’s the very definition of a first world problem but I’m unable to rent / reserve skis for an upcoming vacation because someone didn’t check to see if the latest deploy didn’t contain breaking javascript changes on the site. ๐คฃ๐ฑ๐ญ #ScreamsIntoTheVoid

I can’t believe it’s been a year since we said goodbye to Russell. The pain has faded a little but it feels like it’s been both an eternity but also just the blink of an eye since we said our farewells to our little puppy-rabbit. ๐
Lots of tears today… ๐ญ
We miss you, we still miss you. ๐ถ๐ ๐ท

Finally got around to installing an “extender” SATA card into my media server, to add more drives…and of course, it doesn’t work. ๐ค ๐พ ๐ท

Trying to update the SSL certificates our Kafka consumer / producer uses and it’s driving me to drink more coffee. โ๏ธ๐คช

Someone created a Github issue for my Justified Swipebox Micro.blog pluginโฆand Iโm so excited to know someone out there is at least looking at my work, much less using it; itโs not really โmy workโ, I just enhanced / joined two other libraries so theyโd work with Micro.blogโฆbut still, Iโm excited!

๐ I was cleaning up voicemail on my lunch-break and found some old ones from Grandma; for the first time since she passed, I didn’t instantly burst into tears at the sound of her voice. ๐ฅฐ I still miss that beautiful soul every day, especially the sound of her laugh, but the pain is easier now. ๐โค๏ธ

The “view” from inside the front door this morning. ๐ฅถ๐ง๐ท

Went skiing earlier, the first time in seven years. We had a great time but good grief, I’m sore…where is a hot-tub when you need one?! ๐คฃโท๏ธ๐ท
(Not pictured: the massive amount of beginners on the slopes, they were everywhere, crashing into everything. ๐ฎโ๐จ)

Thai food with some friends for lunch. ๐ฅข๐

My Parter and I went for a walk last night, in the falling snow (it’s a tradition of ours, to go for a walk during the first real snowfall) and had a great time…right until the very end: I hit a patch of ice and went down hard. ๐ค Woke up today feeling like I’ve been through a clothes press. ๐

Playing around with the updated Micro.blog categories, decided to add emoticons, just for fun. Have a bit of an odd bug with repeating categories but the feature did just come out today, so I’m not too worried about it. ๐คฃ

Years ago, I set up a self-hosted Gitea, as a backup solution for my Github account. I didn’t think much of it at the time but I used MS SQL as the backend for it, without realizing the Docker version doesn’t work with encrypted Synology volumes. ๐ฅด I finally took care of that, now on MySQL. ๐
