Notes

I love the California BallotTrax system. I dropped our ballots off at the local ballot box yesterday morning, and my wife and I got email notification that our ballots have been counted today. We’ve done our small part. You should too if you haven’t yet. In many ways, life and death is at stake. 🇺🇸🗳️

I’m working on this super-cool thing that I think a lot of Micro.blog users will really like. I can’t let the cat out of the bag quite yet, but I’m so giddy with excitement over it that I just can’t keep my big mouth shut…

Living on the edge…

Take that, fascist scum!

So… At the urging of Richard (aka MacPsych) through Mastodon a few days ago, I’ve cleaned up my personal site theme and released it to the Micro.blog community as “mmml” in the themes plugin directory. Use the preview button to see what your own site looks like with it. Feedback very much welcomed.

As I continue to slowly dip my toe into LLM/AI, I’m checking out Claude from Anthropic. I’ve been using ChatGPT on and off, and it’s cool, but Claude looks a little more interesting.

Alright… After making some poor decisions yesterday, I’ve got my Mastodon woes sorted out. If you followed my social.lol/@jim profile, but don’t seem to be anymore, here’s your chance to refollow. I promise I won’t put you through this again…

This just came to me… I think the third Tuesday of each month should be declared “Meeting Amnesty” day, where no meetings whatsoever are scheduled for anyone at all – kind of a mini-holiday. Everyone just gets stuff done without any interruptions.

🤢 Oh no… Someone has brought a very potent fish dish into the open office space for their lunch. That’s an office etiquette faux pas, coworker…

Another cup of hot chocolate at work today, this time a double. This could get out of hand if I don’t put it in check right now…
