This is your annual reminder that if you are thinking about getting new shoes to wear to #defcon32, you need to do that ASAP. You need a couple weeks to break them in.

If you have never been to a local running store, now is a great time.

Tech leads and managers: if a woman on your team has been asking for context on a project for weeks, she's going to be very mad if you finally give it because a dude casually asked during standup.

This is your reminder that instead of spreading holiday cheer, you can spread googly eyes instead. ($2.50 at dollar tree for eyes and tacky glue in the craft section)

I'm learning about checking android for spyware because I don't think I trust this tablet yet.

If you think you've failed at something, remember that you didn't try to make magnesium glycinate gummies with grape juice that ended up looking like swamp water and tasting like gelatin.

One of the benefits of being my coworker is that if you ask for the weird American candy you can't get at the import store, I will deliver. The bee on the bit-o-honey bag really set the mood for the candy tasting.

The mug I'm buying if I ever have to go to an office.
I was jealous of a dog so I made this

I thought I was doing okay with COVID so far, then I mixed up SQL and Python and tried to use np.null instead of np.NaN

I should probably just go hide in the corner until this is over.

Nothing like letting a former friend stay with you only to find out they were exposed to COVID and had symptoms and never told you until you forced them to test. When it was positive I then had to pay for a hotel room because it was the only way they would leave my house.

Why deal with what's happened over the last several days when I could decide what Halloween collar to make for my dog instead?

I know eating away the pain doesn't work, but I'm going to try it anyway.

10/10 would recommend reupholstering a desk chair with extra soft fabric, especially if you are getting rid of vinyl.

Do I know anyone that's going to be in Boston next week? I'll be there Thursday and Friday and have no idea if there's anything good going on.

TIL I have more in common with IoT devices than I first thought.
fun computer fact:

Most "IoT" devices have an internal serial port that isn't connected to anything. Kernel logs are often directed to this port. Billions of appliances are out there screaming into the void, but nobody is listening.
when I reach 1337 followers I will post a fun computer fact

How do people interview while still working? This is exhausting. So many rounds and take homes. All I'm doing this weekend is catching up on sleep and a take home.

Buy myself shoes? Nah

Buy yet another set of dog boots so my dog finally has a matching set again? Yes absolutely take my money

Anyone else back from defcon and fighting the urge to quit your job because you've realized just how badly it's sucked all the excitement out of you? I didn't realize just how bad it had gotten until last weekend.

My dog is being so patient while I make her some hearing protection for the defcon parties.

When I need a little extra dopamine I go on AliExpress and send a pack of stickers to the library where a friend works. 10/10 would recommend spending a few bucks to surprise a librarian with stickers.

There will be a limited number of rainbow butt coasters at DEFCON. Don't judge if I'm wearing an I❤️Las Vegas tee because these are going to be taking up more of my carryon than I first thought.

Boots don't match, but at least she's got ones she likes in time for Vegas.

Went to the coffee shop to practice manners before DEFCON.

This is why we start the work day with standup too.
