  • Follow-Up: The IKEA Sonos speaker is working perfectly (which is more than I could ever say of the HomePod Mini stereo set up) this morning; holiday music is flooding the room whilst I’m debugging some legacy Java code. 🤓🎄 (Yes, I had a spare speaker lying around… 🤣) 📷

    Christmas tree with lights and one ornament at the top (a photo frame with no photo for privacy purposes), in front of a record player, with the end of a lamp on the right side of the photo. An IKEA Sonos speaker is on top of the record player, with an 'Ella' record in the middle and a series of objects is on the left side of the record player: three Nintendo amiibo figures (Link, Bowser, and Bokoblin), a Lego penguin, a Jesus stature, and a N64 Lego cube. On top of the cube is a HomePod mini, along with two of the amiibo, and a dried pink rose.

  • Follow-Up: The package was found in the bushes below my house, next to the sidewalk…completely soaked and disfigured from the rain. 🌧️ I’m guessing the steps were just too much for the delivery person, all ten of them. 😅 Also, there is no way that box can fit in my mailbox, so again, someone lied.

  • So, either Amazon is lying, the US Post Office is lying, or someone has taken my new Kindle from my mailbox. 😭📭

  • 🍿 Another favorite, tonight we watched White Christmas. 🎄

  • Currently Listening: A Holiday Carole by Carole King. 🎵🎄

    Album art for 'A Holiday Carole'

    First heard Carole on Gilmore Girls and then bought her compilation album at University. When I went home over the Holiday break and I was listening to it, my mother expressed shock because she listened to Carole when she was my age. 🤣

  • Moved 18.3 TB of data from my Storage server to my Media server; gotta love the “rsync -va --progress” command! 💻🤓 #HappyGeek

  • We put up the tree last night, with one of my favorite ornaments in a place of prominence. 🎄 We bought more than a few of these beauties in 2020, giving them to a number of Friends. 🤣 📷

  • Date Night: Burgers (in my case, a veggie burger) @ Red Robin. 😋🍔📷

    Two plates on a dark wood table, on two oval-ish white plates; fries on both of the plates but the plate in the foreground has a knife on it, as well as a burger.

  • I’ve never seen the food court at Costco so full…and given the amount of screaming babies around, it doesn’t sound like anyone is happy about it. 🤪😂😅

  • First and only peppermint mocha of the holiday season, from the “big” coffee chain. ☕️📷

    Paper coffee cup, with a Starbucks heat-sleeve, on a table, with ceramic pumpkins in the background and a wireless charging puck.

  • 📷 Two Thanksgivings down…I’m honestly not sure how many more to go at this point… 😭🤣

    Various Thanksgiving food (stuffing / dressing, salad, potatoes, cranberry sauce, roll) on a paper plate, with a fork.

  • Yes, finally got an @atpfm@mastodon.social pint glass! Quest completed! 🤓

  • Slowly starting the process of moving my domains away from Google. 🤞🏻

  • 🎵 Yes, I know it’s too early for holiday music but it’s been a rough year…and it’s Cher, so the rules don’t apply. 🏳️‍🌈

    Artwork for Cher's Christmas albumn.

    Bring on the holiday music! 🎄

  • I was hoping to start swapping my media server from it’s tower case into my new Slinger CX4712 case over the weekend…but life got in the way. Fingers crossed I can get to it this week, I don’t want to impact any end users. 🤞🏻📷

    Empty server case on light-brown carpet, with some bubble wrap in the back of the case, with some boxed computer fans on top, with wires coming out of the front of the case.
