I almost wanted to say "Bah Humbug" for today's #3GoodThings, given I'm hobbling about on a walking cane today and am likely to need it for a few more days until my spine calms TF down. But, let's do it anyway.
The weather's nice. Not too hot, not too cold.
Kumquats and a mini papaya granola bowl for brunch was lovely.
My blood sugars behaving after I cut down my insulin dosage as an experiment.
Hanging out with a friend, officially my first social Saturday in years (though we've hung out on weekdays before). Trifecta of great convo with a fellow introvert, great food and bookstore met.
Top-notch instant ramen and buffalo wings for dinner while watching DS9 s3, "The House of Quark" which had me laughing so loud.
The fact that it's a Saturday Night and I'm about to crawl into bed with a book.
Do we see here the first ever #RISCV based #TOR node running? I just provided a TOR node for the #onion network on one of my #VisionFive boards. This one currently runs on #Debian#Linux (will be switched to #FreeBSD soon).
AUTHOR TAKEOVER coming this Monday, Jan 15, 2024!
Where I'll introduce my new novel, ANYWHERE BUT SCHUYLKILL, and you can ask me questions about the book, the historical context in which it takes place, my research, the characters, and other related questions. AND I’ll be giving away FREE copies of my novel!!!
About ANYWHERE BUT SCHUYLKILL: In 1877, twenty Irish coal miners hanged for a terrorist conspiracy that never occurred. Anywhere But Schuylkill is the story of one who escaped, Mike Doyle, a teenager trying to keep his family alive during the worst depression the nation has ever faced. Banks and railroads are going under. Children are dying of hunger. The Reading Railroad has slashed wages and hired Pinkerton spies to infiltrate the miners’ union. And there is a sectarian war between rival gangs. But none of this compares with the threat at home.
I've been using #Ubuntu on my main desktop computers since Warty Warthog, and it's mostly been a perfectly fine experience. Some releases were definitely better than others. Like other users I've not always been happy with the choices made and directions taken by #Canonical.

It's a tricky time of year for a lot of people. It's cold and dark and there are so many sniffles about; basically everyone I know has been fighting something over the last few weeks. I suspect we all know that we sh...
