• We have promoted another cat to fostering: Merlin, the cat formerly known as Gray Cat.
  • I finished the latest Bruno, Chief of Police book. I read it for the food and culture, but it has some bad descriptions of hacking in this one. I started The Midnight Library, which as close as you can imagine to a TED talk but actually a novel. Next is Careless People, which I’m looking forward to; hopefully as exhilarating/vicariously-traumatic as Exit Interview.
  • At work the latest is that all planning must snap to 1-month objectives. “If you don’t produce a plan, someone will produce one for you” is an advice. Super proud of the work: doing Pitchfork, kicking the tires on ruby/json, adding more knobs to Active Record. My Incident Commander shift was this week too; 2pm - 8pm really destroys the possibility of pre-dinner errands. I did go to a Mustqche Harbor show while on secondary Friday night and nothing bad happened (though I was still 15 minutes from home should something have).
  • I bought a RailsConf supporter ticket. I submitted a panel discussion talk, so even if that’s accepted, I think I’ll still need a ticket. It’s for a good cause.
  • Some new Playdate games. Echo: The Oracle’s Scroll was the only one I’ve beaten so far, despite fiddly jumping puzzle, and the surprise ending by which I mean I was surprised when I went to chat with an owl-person and then the credits rolled.
  • I am recovering from pink eye, again. Reinfecting yourself is a thing that can happen. The last six months or so have not been my favorite, minor ailments-wise.
  • Folks on Rails Performance Slack asked about Cursor rules, which was an opportunity for me to consolidate mine from several projects. I dunno, it’s ok.
  • After about a month, I think I’m an iPad Mini person. The screen is very not good, but I guess “the best screen is the screen you have” when said screen is bigger than a phone, but smaller than 11 inches.
  • This is the most SF press release and I can’t wait.
