Okay, this is my newest very very favorite meme.

After almost two freaking years, I now have in my hands signed divorce paperwork! Now to send it back to the attorney, have her file it and then in 31 days I'll finally be 100% free!

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?

Time to forget about the world for a bit, and play a DOS game. Oh....

Colbert nails it

Ah the ole punch card. I encountered these in a production environment when I started my programming / engineer career in 1997. Blew me away, but that old Honeywell system just plugged away daily.

Microsoft has changed their supported CPU list for the latest iteration of Windows 11, now making the 8th Gen laptop I have ineligible. Joke's on them, that thing's been running Linux since the day I bought it.

The idea of buying Greenland is insanity itself, but this name? Seriously? I need a DeLorean so I can go back where the timeline skewed and fix this.

Spent a good part of last week and the weekend down and out with a diverticulitis flare. They're few and far between but when they hit, oof, they hit. This one was one of the worst. Thankfully I woke up pain-free this morning and I think I'm coming out of it.

One thing I started to do from the get-go here on Bluesky (and I recommend you do as well), set up some lists! I've got one for people I know, one for wrestling, one for technology. It's nice and makes for keeping an eye on topics (and people of interest) easier.

One other thing, you'll see my Bluesky handle changed to justxanny.com. That's because I finally got the site up and verified myself! I should have some posts up soon.

Just a note that going forward this will most likely be my main social media outlet. I'm only keeping Facebook around so I can keep up with Ghostbusters-related events and activity but I don't plan on posting there. I like it here.

Busy day at work, got some things straightened out there that will help with my stress levels. Gym time tonight as it looks like the snow has missed us, and I think I may have my website online tonight or tomorrow!

One of my favorite wrestlers growing up, and of course I enjoyed his performance in The Princess Bride, too. "Anybody want a peanut?"

I've got a lot of thoughts to express so I'm going to work on relaunching justxanny.com as more than just my photography portfolio. It'll give me an outlet to write about things.

I'm going to jail for war crimes, thanks Civilization 6!

Today is 'extract all the data' day. I got my Instagram archive (I'm going to ditch my personal account, but keep the account for the Ecto) and I downloaded my content from Tiktok.

"Streamlining of operations" happened this morning at work. I'm still employed but we've lost two from our team, a couple of key people. Fun times, not.

I'm "PRESS PLAY ON TAPE" old.

First day back at work in about two weeks. 140+ emails later, and I think I'm finally caught back up for the moment.

I know the new terminal hotness right now is Ghostty, and one of the claims is 'native' Linux OS integration. Sorry, but no. On my Plasma desktop, it does not fit in at all. Native does not mean GTK. It sticks out like a sore thumb on my desktop. #linux #ghosttty

The holidays have been pretty good to me. I'm off until 1/6, so I have another full week of no work (thank gods for that). Been taking care of things around the house and on top of that starting to plan a few tech projects, including relaunching my blog, Youtube channel and possibly Twitch, too.

I'm mostly set up in Linux now. I'm still migrating a few things but because of my NAS there wasn't a lot I had to move, just mount the mount point and I was set.

I took a short video of the Ecto just before we stepped off for the parade. That's about the only photographic evidence I got though.

Got the Ecto ready for the evening Christmas Parade tomorrow. I'll also have the warning lights going too.

The slow migration to Linux continues. I still have some items I need to move from the Windows drive over, but the basics are here. It's not my first go-round with Linux, and I use it daily at work. Once I get justxanny.com rebuilt to more than just a photography gallery, I'll write about it.

Spent the day today working on my office. I re-did my work setup so I have a lot more space on my desk and finally did some cable management on both that desk and the personal computer desk. Hopefully I can get back to Youtube / streaming in the near future.

Okay, this is just hilarious: blueskyroast.com Hat tip to @brodierobertson.xyz for posting about it.

#Linux has really been a joy to get back into. I was running it as my main OS in the early 2000s, then I shifted back to Windows and used it server-side and work only. Now, I'm back again and I've forgotten how much fun it is to tweak and set this up. Video on my Youtube channel coming soon!

The past few days have been rough, but I hope the majority of it is behind me now. Don't feel like working at all today, and tomorrow is gonna be even worse :D First Thanksgiving in my new home, I really can't wait.

On call and the last man standing in my department until December 10th. Holidays are the most stressful work time for me, and today I've had two call-outs already. This current one is taking forever. Ah the life of on-call IT.
