I'm hoping the outcome is positive. Lately I've been on the not great end of some AITA situations recently so I'm second-guessing my tone and presentation a lot more than usual. We have a mostly asshole free environment at work and I'd like to keep it that way.

I cc'd the report to the maintainers of That R Code, noting that part of the purpose of the report was to try to validate their code. It's basically the missing 80 pages of engineering narrative and algebra that documents a core feature of their code. It's not my job to document […]

[Obenseuer Update: Criming, Electrics, and a Refocus]
Anyway, enough deposition. The immediate mission is to get 2-3 more units rented to some very specific renters then decide on a strategy once that's done and the outstanding constructions are complete. I may be complicit in a (nonfatal) […]

@petealexharris I find that once I've stopped coding, debugging, and twiddling the page layout and typography, writing is so much easier nd fluid because I'm not constantly fighting with the UI and application. I mainly use TeXmaker but I have used LyX in the past and I find a good LaTeX editor […]

@praetor As time goes on, I'm more particular in how I use the words "think" and "believe" in English. I use "believe" more for unverified fact or assumption and "think" for more established fact. As in "Trump is fat, resembling a cow - I think he is a fascist pedophile and believe he has […]
