found out today that one of my friends posted on tumblr pics of the mug she had made that says "best grandma ever" and has artistic nude photos of herself on it

today at fencing practice I found out about a local tradition and as a result fought the number of bouts in a row for my age to celebrate my birthday

I still think I like getting older but logically speaking if I'm going to keep doing this I need to incrementally get in slightly better shape […]

Heads up for those who, like me, worry about giving or receiving COVID-19 and flu: The new version of the Aptitude molecular test (for both COVID and flu) is now available at retail. It requires a re-usable reader and somewhat pricy single-use test, but is more sensitive than the rapid tests […]

I would bet money that this book does not contain cereal and so the title is misleading at best. I'm skeptical it even contains ambrosia tbh

[j'écoute les chansons en français]

après 6 mois étudier avec Alliance Française Toronto:

* je ne comprends pas PasMort, je ne comprends pas encore beaucoup des mots
* mais, je comprends Intenable un peu, 1 ou 2 mots par 5 mots, pas toujours les significations mais j'écoute les mots.

Je pense […]

how do people listen to music files on an android phone these days? I'm thinking of going back to listening to mp3s in 2026

here is my review of the dubai lindt chocolate bar
* too much chocolate, not enough pistachio
* good crunch
* I spent $15 on this and I am skeptical that I will get $15 of enjoyment from it. I did not get $2 of enjoyment from the one square I have eaten so far
* I hope that eating this […]

it's a weekend evening after a tiring week, which means it's time to play my favorite Wii text adventure game, "try to install samba on NetBSD". After several wrong moves and waiting over 15 minutes for a single configuration script to run I think I've almost got it!

(apologies to my previous […]

I thought that learning French would be like learning swordfighting, where sometimes I have weeks that I finally understand and I feel like I make a lot of progress, and sometimes I have weeks that I don't feel like I make any progress.

But instead I feel like I'm learning French at a linear […]

celebrated Halloween, noted holiday for freaks and deviants, by eating candy at home and trying to compile software packages on my Wii without running out of memory

perhaps someday I will learn to cross compile and then my true power will be unleashed

I have been waiting to get off work and draft an email to the SCA 501c3's Board of Directors about a proposed policy change all day. Now I'm writing the email and it feels great to do something because I want to do it. Not sorry about who I am as a person but thought you all should know that my […]

Today I installed wireshark for the first time but that only made me more confused in my debugging

So far my best theory is that something goes wrong between multiple OpenSSH 8.x devices when they try to key exchange with OpenSSH 10.2 on my Wii

The good news is that the latest Wii nightly […]

ok tech friends i have a question about television.

now that I work for a 15-person startup people around me keep referencing the show Silicon Valley, which I did not watch when it came out. It was running while I worked at Meetup (~150 people) and I said it was too close to home; and while it […]
