I went to a PTA meeting last night and learned two key things.
Last night, UPS sends me an email.
YOUR PACKAGE WILL ARRIVE TOMORROW. PREPARE THYSELF. THE PACKAGE IS IMMINENT. BETWEEN ONE AND FOUR PM YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE.
This morning, UPS tracking page.
Ya bro, I don't know what to tell you. I've like "heard" of the package if you know what I mean, but like I haven't even seen it or anything.
It’s super cute when a cat falls asleep with a paw on your arm.
I got some spam this morning advertising a new tactile flashlight.
I'm assuming they meant tactical. But now I'm just wondering how interesting a flashlight could be to touch. Really good knurling? A satisfying button so you really know where you stand? Perhaps a copper ring on a ball bearing so you could spin it in your hand while pointing it in the same direction?
Just a sec, there's potential here, let me pull that out of spam and... shit. they meant tactical.
We recently spent a week in Vancouver, a city that intensely bolts very small pylons to tree stumps.
Do you use PHP at work? Does your employer support the PHP Foundation?
If your answers are yes and no... Maybe see if you can get them to be Yes and Yes.
I’ve got an idea. What if there was a class in high school that covered topics like:
- how to have a phone call in public that doesn’t annoy everyone.
- how to use headphones.
- how to call out racism on the bus.
- what is a line.
- how to zipper merge in traffic.
Etc
My children have been to two different artisanal broom stores in the past week.
If someone ran a survey right now they'd receive a very skewed impression of our broom needs.
When I was a kid if you watched a movie there was at least a 50% chance the parents were already dead, or would die in the first act.
The Land Before Time, Bambi, The Lion King, Oliver & Company, The Neverending Story, Pocahontas, etc. etc. etc.
What do kids get today? Crime solving foxes and bunnies, Paddington Bear, Lilo and Stitch.
I think they had to want us to grow up weird.
I think someone forgot how to center a div while adding this progress bar spinner.
Listen. Look, Just listen.
I need to make 10 mostly blank documents to share with authors. This was a reasonable place to end up.
I was once at a conference party to network, and found a table full of people I didn’t recognize. It was a big table, maybe I’d even find someone who could use WonderProxy…
Everyone at the table worked for the same company. I’d just crashed a corporate group.
I wonder if someone has asdf@gmail.com, and how much their life sucks.
This is the most intense installation of a tiny pylon I’ve ever seen.
My lovely wife bought me a table saw outfeed table for Father’s Day. It was so much more work assembling than we expected. The instructions weren’t done by ikea, there’s no “tab a in slot b”
Instead it’s a “insert an m6x35 bolt through the correct hole in bar B, with two washers on each side, attach to the side rail of the PCS, and check for level. Adjust washers until the top of the plate is level with the saw top. Repeat 4 times, switching bolt side for the last two.”
I love it, but wow.
Oh drats. There was a few #FOSSY talks I missed, I knew they were live streaming and assumed they were also recording.
But alas, just live streaming I think.
#hugops to all the team leads who just got an invite to a meeting with the agenda "can we just replace AWS" this morning.
