Admittedly it’s been a few months since I’ve taken a walk around the neighborhood, but I noticed for the first time people around here don’t go out of their way to avoid each other on the sidewalk. Ever since covid started people on their daily walks would brutally social distance outside, either darting off into […]

Dreams are weird and so personal that they’re useless to try to describe to somebody else. I seem to have three recurring dreams that happen occasionally and they’re kind of fascinating to me.

Got both doses of the tracking chips in and my 5G coverage is increasing! (I forget how this is supposed to work, do the tracking chips provide 5G and GPS, or do the 5G towers attract bats that infect people with covid? or do the 5G towers cause covid and the vaccination will kill my […]

Working in a Ubuntu world now, I really miss the Anaconda installer that CentOS/Fedora used. Every time I find myself having a problem with the d-i installer when doing network PXE installs, I find myself grepping and tracing through the source code. While doing a Ubuntu 18 network install with a preseed file (all of which […]

I literally had my hair cut in a shady back alley in Palo Alto. It was legit business with pop-up tents and chairs and everything, but I just like the clandestine sound of that statement. The only upside of all this crazy time is businesses doing business outside on a fine California summer day. I […]
