I've been trying to remember this song for like 20 years. Finally found it:

Someone here had a very cool Fringe planner posted last year. Anyone have a link?

Curling is done for the year. Lost our game today by 2 despite scoring a 6 end. Oh well, there's always next year

Damn, my Pixel 7 Pro greeted me this morning with a boot loop. Probably from an update. I can get to the bootloader, but it boot loops even when trying Recovery or Repair mode. Guess it's time for a new phone. Good thing my PIxel 2 still works.

Got a 7 ender this week again. The other team was disappointed.

The Waterloo brewer "Innocente" seems to be making a pro-convoy "Freedom Ale". You may want to avoid all future products from this brewery.

Going curling this morning. Looks like I could get some practice on the sidewalks

Holy crap, I have 1001 followers. What the hell is wrong with you people?

Seeing a lot more people wearing head protection at curling after a couple of nasty incidents. One of the incidents was a person wearing a helmet and fell hard enough that it was still a potential concussion. Without a helmet it might have been fatal. It seemed to get people's attention.

After watching the fox in my yard, it seems even more true that foxes are cat software running on dog hardware.

Nap complete, much interest in the birds on the roof, then off on its way.

I think I made it through Christmas without contracting COVID. Not a bad accomplishment this year.

Prime rib and fixings for dinner with a 2010 Barolo. The wine was okay, but probably a couple of years past prime. Things are tough all over.

Neighbours dropped by with a Bourbon Pecan pie for us. With extra bourbon sauce. Another with a plate of various cookies. Another with cinnamon rolls. We generally do a chocolate pecan brittle for them. I see some weight gain in my future.

Skipped my very first game of curling today. Lost, but only by two points. Lots of pressure, and I kind of miss sweeping. Calling sweeping is going to take a bit more practice.

Here in Ottawa, Live! On Elgin just hit 10000 tickets sold. Their ticket sales go directly to the performers, so that's pretty cool. I'm glad they're around.

Set up an old Android phone as a front door camera and integrated it with HomeAssistant, and have it announcing visitors when motion is detected. A friend of mine joked about face detection .... and omg it's actually supported: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/facebox/

Finally got my external access working for HomeAssistant. Lots of screwing around with DNS and reverse proxies. I am far from familiar with this stuff, but managed to get it working. Learned lots too.

One of the great tragedies is that when you finally replace that great old pair of underwear, you can't read the label to find out exactly what kind they were.

OMG, I so could have used this. Still could, really ...
