You can never ever go wrong with the Miles Davis album, Kind of Blue.

Wait, free health care in America?!

So … Harley’s beliefs are a joke. Got it!

Women are so I could get more than a month or so I can do that for the kids to get that stuff out for the first day and I can go back and see what I want for a little more of them and I can do that twice and I can do that for them and they can do that twice then it is as well but they have a good time

My God, this sounds like a Trump stump speech.

God bless this man.

He’s been doing it for so long it’s exactly what we are conditioned to expect.

Don’t insult us nerds by calling him one of us!

He was referring to Trump.

"and you’re fired " FTFY

Kyle Clark is a Colorado treasure. I watched his show almost every night since 2018 until I moved out of Colorado. He is witty, insightful and just the right amount of sarcastic. I hope he is still on air when I finally go back home

Any flavor of vi, Gnu Screen, lrzsz, bash with the usual cli tools (awk, sed, grep, tail, head, rev, cat, tac, and recently jq and yq). Also openssh client. Some flavor of netcat is also crazy useful too. This is a good home for me to do my thing.

Edir: oh, and git. How did I forget git?!

cpio is way worse

Adding Bluetooth to a vacuum cleaner does make it suck more.

To this day I still don’t upgrade OSes in general and I even evangelize “rip and replace” professionally so loudly that it’s now enforced via policy at my workplace. This must be where my ethos for this practice originated.

I think it was SLS. I know it took a pile of floppies. At some point I made a tape to make it easier to install. Why I needed to install that often eludes my aging memory but those experiences still pay to this day.

I have used the hell out of it for a project that needs to be written in go. I have no experience in go (but I do in over a dozen other languages). It has helped me tremendously. The autocomplete freaks me out sometimes as if it’s reading my mind.

Basically I’m a soft, doughy ATM.

I have a 3.5 year gap on mine and used to dread this question. It came up during a second or third interview with a previous employer and the dread left as I answered honestly:

I was married to someone that was fortunate enough to have a lot of wealth and I didn’t need to work. During this time we traveled a good bit and I went back to school for a stint to study music theory. I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything in the world but, alas, the marriage didn’t work out and I had to go back to work. When reviewing my options I found a renewed sense of purpose in my career that transcends a simple means to pay my bills. I am very blessed to have had these opportunities and wish everyone was as fortunate.
