You know you're only here for one reason...

"Hello, We're Firefox, The Only Browser That Hasn't Hit Itself In The Dick With A Hammer. For years now, folks use us because of our un-hammered dick. Now, you may be wondering why today we've brought this hammer and pulled out our dick. Well I'm glad you asked--"

_smashes the tuesday button_

anyway, here's train.

y'all ever wonder what it be like if you just weren't here anymore? haha... no definitely.. me neither.

Sometimes I forget what day it is, but that's okay...

Overheard at work: "Early is on time, on time is late." My brain:

Hanging out at PAX Unplugged this weekend in Philadelphia. Say hi if you find me!

Wait, where's the Giraffe? (Read the alt) RE: https://masto.ai/users/LyricalGarfield/statuses/115574157236964632

Things I have used to claim eating an entire pumpkin pie as a reasonable lunchtime activity: "Today I had a wonderful fall quiche!" "Lunch today was a very nice cold pumpkin soup in a bread bowl, it was a bit sweet but quite filling!"

Well.... fuck. RE: https://mastodon.online/users/2600/statuses/115572087192790794

Time to vibe.

I do feel like MS/Azure, AWS, and Cloudflare need to do a better job of coordinating their outages so some of yall can get some much needed time away from IT

oh look, yet another day I'm glad I don't use Cloudflare proxies

Me: so tired, have to wake up early. Must sleep now. (This was 2 hours ago. I'm still awake.)

Train go

I feel like there was a time in my life where I could just hang out for hours and not feel an inescapable need to be flat immediately afterwards, but I honestly can't remember when it was. It's definitely not now.

I voted. If you have that option, you should do that too. Vote for more trains if you can.

Reminder, if you need to write code you need to listen to the uplink soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9seZGfsfZM4&list;=PLMW5DKp4ycW21Twx3itWut18E2vFQtH15&index;=2

Let's get today on track.

Look, I understand that you ‘came to get down’ (I mean, you said it twice) I just don’t see why the onus should be on me to get out my seat and ‘jump around’ 🤷🏾‍♂️

Average Microsoft Authenticator Experience: The computer I actually want to use: We sent you a login request! it's on your phone, you remember where that is right?

Apparently I haven't been on my desktop since August 7th. I forgot that screens could be this big. There's so much room to work here! No wonder my laptop has felt cramped.

wake up babe new $20 bill just dropped #meme #memes #eastwing #whitehouse #uspol #uspolitics #trump

[insert witty words here]

I'm at a wedding where I know LITERALLY nobody except a waving acquaintance with the Groom, who is my partner's long time friend. My partner is off being on the wedding party and I am in a loud room in uncomfortable shoes with nobody familiar. I have never left less social in my life.

Set to give the same talk I gave a couple of weeks ago tonight. I'm sure that having woken up at 04:15 this morning will not affect this negatively at all. In completely a unrelated question, anyone know what counts as a "dangerous" amount of caffeine in a single day?

If you follow me, why?

Good morning. This is your regularly scheduled trainpost.

The perfectly normal urge to buy a small 3d printer for your hotel room.

So other than sitting at my desk wishing I was asleep, why am I here again?

I'm really realizing that I'm terrible at using "social media". Which is ironic because I seem to keep hosting various versions of it for other people.

Does anyone remember the Reinhart-Rogoff affair? The paper that was widely used to justify austerity policies, but where the main result was only an artifact due to the researchers screwing up their Excel formulas? So yeah, can't see how putting the random number generator called "AI" in Excel […]

this meeting could have been a cross-country high-speed rail journey

Spent my day so far driving. More trains plz.

Another solar trip. Yay

In light of all of the (gestures vaguely) going on I have just one thing to say...

Ze tren!

There are only 3 topics that make up most conversations that you'll hear on Amateur radio: the weather, traffic, and amateur radio.

Joining an Amateur Radio Club is like suddenly acquiring a whole a room full of dads. And (at least) a few spare cranky grandpa's too.

Even after delays, the train must ride!

Back to school? More like back to train!

Oh wow! More users! Nope, nevermind. Spammer. DELETED.

Gotta go fast.

The power to simply buy a domain or a phone number and hook it up to things I control on a WHIM has granted me so much glee.

Me: Any helpful suggestions on not feeling tired all the time? Friend: Have you tried sleeping more? Me: I said _HELPFUL_ suggestions!

Too many meetings? _AGAIN_? SUMMON THE TRAIN!

Sitting at a talk by @[email protected] at HOPE, learning about this "fediverse" thing.

I just had this weird flashback to a time when LiveJournal (yes I'm that old) let you do voice posts (audio) from your telephone. I have a weird temptation to recreate this with some kind of Asterisk pipeline to Sharkey... and I can't decide if this is a terrible idea, or an awesome one.
