    I’ve been mostly offline this Thanksgiving. I haven’t checked anything for work, checked Twitter (or Mastodon, Bluesky, or Threads), read my RSS feeds, or checked any news sites. I did play Wordle, text some friends, and research microwave sales (the power supply on ours died). This was good for me, and I think I need…

    Busy couple of weeks. I didn’t write last weekend because I spent the whole weekend doing work around the house: Putting things away for the winter and mulching in the leaves outside, and moving things in the basement, garage, and attic in preparation for getting foam insulation in those spaces.

    Back to work. It was a jarring rentry. The very first thing I saw when getting online Monday morning was a ping about an issue that had major customer impact. Talk about getting the adrenaline pumping. It turns out GitHub and Cloudflare both had even bigger issues this week, too. And the time change didn’t…

    While hunched over in my IKEA Poäng chair looking at my laptop, I thought, “I wish there were a desk for this chair.” So I fired up my web browser and typed in the magic incantation, and Bateman Labs makes one! I bought it, Charlie helped me put it together, and I love it. It…
