Hmm. One of the last reasons I have Windoze around is a single app which doesn’t work on MacOS or Linux. There is an Android version though. Another project… https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/114252115658315197

Spent most of the day yesterday cleaning out & reclaiming 1/4 of the basement. I can now see and use the pool table! Stocked a fridge with soda, beer, and film this morning. Still need to redo the ceiling tiles, and then it’s on to the next (harder) quarter. #BelieveInFilm #filmphotography

I have emoji stickers of three of my cats:  Ginger Pepper  Tilly (Please don’t tell Sammie. I need to get a good photo of her.) #catsofmastodon

Why haven’t I been Fediverse-chicked yet? What’s wrong with me? 😇

No shit. https://flipboard.com/@npr/u.s.-news-aspd61boz/-/a-jg1W_EySRyypd-c7BkAWPQ%3Aa%3A3195441-%2F0

Hmm. For some reason Ice Cubes stopped sending me notifications. Sorry if I’ve been ignoring you.

Got my first #roku animated splash ad yesterday. Time to turn the #pihole back on.

Today’s podcast ads have had localizations for both NYC and Boston (in the same episode) as well as a Valentine’s sale. I guess my #VPN is translating me in time as well as space.

Looks like this morning will be about listening to podcasts while babysitting the #BambuLab printer. Off-brand filament keeps jamming on the spool. 🧵 Leaning my lesson one jam at a time.

Time for my annual “this podcast app stopped playing nice with CarPlay” rotation of the apps. Guess it’s back to PocketCasts as Overcast has stopped working for me.

Today is my Friday. One appointment tomorrow, then rain forecast for the rest of my weekend. ☔️

I don't want an AI assistant to "help me keep track of information from across the web" I just want everything I follow to have an RSS feed 😢

The reason the government wants to deport people without due process is that due process would reveal that many of them are here legally.

Damn. Caught by the YT adblocker-blocker again. The arms race continues.

So, dumb kid trying to raise clout with his friends shares some mil specs on Discord…court martial. SecDef shares military plans with friends and reporter on Signal…crickets. Did I get that right?

Time is running down on my day. Still to do: Trash & recycling out. Clean up car interior. Clean up odds & ends from darkroom move. Scan newly developed film. Develop one last roll b/c I finished it today & I’ve never developed the same day I shot it. Plus daily chores & maybe clean master […]

This week Sunday is my Sunday and Monday is my Monday. No complaints; it only happens once every 2 months.

Moving the darkroom upstairs after too long dormant. I haven’t worked out the enlarger yet, but 3 rolls of 120 are hanging to dry.

One of the things I love about Zoom meetings is that I can enjoy a beverage while watching. Tuckerman Dawn Patrol Double IPA. Great stuff, but I haven’t drunk much lately. Going straight to my head. Good thing I’m just a viewer.

If your system allows an "Edit" function, it should not fail with a "this record already exists" message. That's the whole point of editing. Looking at you, NH #EZPass. Now I have to delete and reload a bunch of records to fix your mistake? Nah, never mind. It's close enough.

Only in the modern age does the phrase “Mr. Carson bumped into Scruffy and now they’re both sending me errors” make sense.

Day 1 off. Sammie and Tilly are helping me eat lunch. 3D printer is chugging along on next project. Model VW bus needs some detail paint and one part reprinted. Really need to run the rug cleaner.

It’s not quite warm enough for the motorcycles, but I may get the bus out this week. Salt is mostly gone.

Please don’t use AI for your image descriptions. This one is hilariously wrong. https://unfufadoo.net/@cars/114188367558316370

I moved my clock and phone around on my night stand and I’ve slept like crap ever since. Will have to swap them back tonight and see if things improve. I’m not high maintenance, but my brain gets weird about telling time in the middle of the night.

You can search without Google too. https://mastodon.world/@obtener/114178562503098068

Seriously considering doing the Boston Marathon midnight bike ride this year. Sounds like fun, and I’m off duty the next day.

I was passed by something I think was a 1980s Holden this morning, but it was wearing Chevy badges. Didn’t get a pic and didn’t notice which side the steering wheel was on. Definitely wasn’t domestic tho, despite the badging. I really need to get a dashcam in the Crosstrek.
