#protip: Cut down on meetings by rescheduling ones that have already passed. Most people will forget to reset reminders and then fail to show up. No show, no meeting! #Winning.

Yesterday, I got caught up on days 1-3 of Advent of Code 2025, Today, I read the puzzle, and...
"Oh, this shit again."
Don't get me wrong, I love me some Advent of Code. But I hate these kinds of tedious puzzles.
You'd've thought I'd've written some tools by now to abstract this, as often as […]

#protip: I hate cookie banners. I do not care: I can turn them off at will, regularly, automatically, or even selectively delete them. You do not have to animate them to get my attention. And no, despite what your highly overpaid paranoid lawyers might tell you, there is no law on Earth that […]

That feeling when you find out the guy that sold property to your great grandfather on your dad's side was a distant cousin on your mom's side. I shouldn't be surprised, but it's still cool. #genealogy

Note to self: Don't delete blank lines when using ledger-narrow, unless you want to redo your ledger file.
Also note to self: Writing and testing scripts to convert bank files is so much better than doing it by hand, especially when you bork your ledger file by deleting blank lines while in […]

Texas may have sued Google and got a payout, but they still lost.
"Google admitted no wrongdoing when agreeing to the settlement." Weak.
"The settlement does not require product changes." Loser.

Having recently migrated 2 nonprofits to Microsoft 365, I'm feeling rather let down by Microsoft's rug-pull. Their nonprofit website still says, at the very moment, that Microsoft is granting up to 10 free licenses to Business Premium. But the four emails I received says it is being discontinued.
