Picture of black short haired dog with a noticeable amount greying around the eyes, muzzle, and neck. She is laying in bed, with one paw propped up on a pillow. The photograph is taken with a large aperture and has a shallow depth of field, focusing around the eyes. Photograph was taken on a Fujifilm X-T50 with a 56mm lens at f/1.4 Picture of black short haired dog with a noticeable amount greying around the eyes, muzzle, and neck. She is sitting similar to how a human would sit on a bed, nearly straight up and is yawning. She has some lumps on her chest and sides from lipomas

The good news: I finally filled in my Asimov shelf. The bad news - I am officially out of bookshelf space and I don't really want to buy another bookshelf if I am going to be moving in the not too distant future 😔

I like to think my younger self had good taste in games. Portal 1 was my first game from Steam, but it was free as they were celebrating Steam on Mac OS.

The reason they are all* Valve titles is because I started my computer gaming journey on a Mac, and still do my game development on a Mac.
Screenshot showing the first few Steam purchases I made, including Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2, all of the Half-Life 2 games, and Counter Strike Source + Gary’s Mod in reverse chronological order respectively.

Below are the ping graphs I was using. Not green is packet loss, blank is when I was troubleshooting. The significant jump up in latency is when I started using the tunnel.

If a Google fiber engineer sees this, I would love you forever if you can dig into this. Screams BGP or cfg change to me.
A graph over time of ping round trips to 1.1.1.1. Latency and packet loss are good the entire time A graph over time of ping round trips to 8.8.8.8. Latency and packet loss are good until this morning, when it starts losing about 30% of packets A graph over time of ping round trips to 9.9.9.9. Latency and packet loss are good until this morning, when it starts losing about 30% of packets

Just joined the team and industry when WotLK Classic launched, and most recently was proud to be a part of the Warcraft 1/2/3 Remaster.

The quoted author was a big part of my warm welcome onto the server team and left me with lasting wisdom that I think back on keenly to this day.
