Grumpytran. Vice President of "Daughter of Narcissistic Mammies" club. Cosplays as DJ Ace now and then. 🏳️‍⚧️Ⓐ🏳️‍🌈🇮🇪

Don't blame me, I voted for Nestor Makhno.
My fav keyboard. So much so I made a custom keyboard (now retired, v2 in progress) based on it.

I still have a fix I've got to submit so that the linux keymapping for insular r is actually ꞃ and not ɼ (which is obviously wrong) and an addition for insular s (Ꞅ) which we don't have as Alt+gr s = ṡ

2 weeks before I was supposed to be gone, I got in a bad motorcycle accident. 16 weeks flat on my back. I was out of a wheelchair for about a week when I got on my flight. Why? Because I didn't give a fuck if I had to crawl out of that country, I was going to get the fuck out.

I don't know what to eat laddsass. Help me.

Yes. I'm a lightweight these days

53 and trying not to roll my eyes.

This thing... is a monster. It was also a royal PITA to set up, BUT, it's now crunching through a build that use to take me an hour or more to do. It should be done in 1/2 the time.

So yes. My mother is dead and while I feel a bit sad that she never unfucked herself, I don't feel sad for *me*. I feel nothing. No hate. No love. Just nothing.

I think I'm going to find a nice plant to plant for her though. Something horrible. Dracunculus vulgaris, maybe.

BRB, looking for a certain etsy witch.

The new dev boxen. I'm loving the open bench table frame.

No sound, and I KNOW, incorrect footwear, but... I just wanted to budge her out of the rut. And yes. When she's running, reality warps a bit.

I'll be DJing Leitrim Pride this weekend. Me and DJ Toilet Break.

So. Herself is *very* safety minded and is requiring me (who is in the school of "feck it, be grand" which is why I end up in A&E) to make the tractor a bit safer.

First up today? Prime, paint, and install floorboards. Next? Seatbelt, over run pto clutch and the rest of that roll bar.

It ends with:

"Hi Eilís, I finally sorted everything out, the package will leave on Monday and just to be on the safe side I also included your instructions."

This is how he wrote the address. I can't even be mad about it, it's just too adorable.

And quickly descends into neither him or UPS apparently understanding Irish addresses.

"What is Co. Leitrim?", indeed! Also. No. I'm not in NI. This takes some back and forth to explain.

Ok, #speirgorm. The saga of the package from Italy continues!

It starts out with a lovely Italian man....

Like this isn't going to be the first thing I do.
July 5, 2025 at 3:17 PM
I just picked up my first ever new car and first ever EV.

Pro:
Fun as hell to drive.

Con:
I keep looking for the shifter/clutch.
July 4, 2025 at 4:07 PM
Finally done.
When the paint starts cracking, this is going to look fucking slick.

Little known fact. I use to, long ago, be technically a working artist (graphic design mostly). It's been two decades since I've painted. Acrylic on leather (I love doing backpieces. They're my fav).

It's not entirely done, but... done enough for now. And yes, I'll be doing something ridic to it
