#SiYuanNote recently got proper extension support via plugins. Not to be confused with its existing support for templates and dynamic in-page widgets. Stuff that enhances the overall application. Like a calendar plugin, which makes it way easier to do my journaling #PKM stuff in SiYuan.

The edge of the oncoming storm. Thunder lightning 70 mile an hour winds. Hail. Let’s hope we don’t lose power again.

A minute after taking this photo, and it is crossing above us. There is near constant visible lightning, that is very very close.

Southwest, #Vermont

randomgeek,

@masukomi yep that is an unnerving arrangement of clouds.

Shifting focus on the Windows partition from breaking everything with Chocolatey to breaking everything with Winget.

Choco's more conservative with #Nushell updates, which is correct from the IT staff sanity perspective but not from the breaking everything perspective.

I'm really enjoying nushell. I think I may dig deeper into it and write up a post about it.

randomgeek,

@nosherwan @btp here's one light taste. Many more are needed!

I swear. I am a super nice, caring and loving person. WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING

randomgeek,

@IamMrsGeek because I know what happens to folks who don't treat you like a super nice, caring, and loving person.

I've been neglecting my social media accounts, but it's for a good reason -- I started working at Deno a few months back and I've been pretty focused on the work there. I get to do Rust/V8 stuff and it's a blast.

I need to get back into the random posting habit...

randomgeek,

@mmastrac not such a strong need if you're doing cool stuff with Rust for Deno.

I’m about to lose my damned mind over here. If Calgon worked for me I’d use it but I’m thinking it’s more of a tequila fix.

randomgeek,

@IamMrsGeek Or if Calgon was a paid assassin, maybe. "Calgon, take them out!"

Sorry. I'll stop.

Huh I’m still ok at computers

randomgeek,

@ieatkillerbees oh no

(no but actually yay obviously but given computers as such still kind of oh no)

randomgeek,

@tk @ieatkillerbees now now. Keep your anger pointed in the right direction. Computers are only a tool.

Tools bad.

Who is killing the Earth?

randomgeek,

@deadbeefmonster @Radical_EgoCom Ah. Utah Phillips vs George Carlin. Who will win?

Well, nobody I guess. They're both dead. Both died almost exactly a month apart as a matter of fact which is an odd bit of trivia.

New fiscal quarter, getting tentative pings from recruiters. Which is nice, since the last couple weeks were so quiet I thought it was Christmas.

And recruiters also been better about following up. They've been saying "no" but at least I'm not left guessing!

Saw a questionable info-meme being shared repeatedly. Decided to add my thoughts. I'll save you the click:

I'd add "critical thinking and information literacy," especially to better analyze information presented to you in infographic or meme format. What did they include? What did they exclude? What biases do you see laid out before you? How many of them are deliberate and how many do you think are subconscious? Should you treat them differently?

and of course "wtf is supposed to be going on with that 'survival skills' icon"

Hire me and you could be working with this ray of sunshine!

randomgeek,

@c0debabe swap "public speaking" for something less dedicatedly allistic, like "communication"

randomgeek,

@jacobydave A wise choice. I only log in when I'm job hunting.

It has been a rough year, to say the least.

randomgeek,

@jacobydave I had very similar thoughts on seeing "taxes"

randomgeek,

@cinebox I started there, and my brain kept noticing more and more questionable choices.

Social etiquette is female-coded. but public speaking is male?

It's why I ended up at "critical thinking."

randomgeek,

@jacobydave Silicon Valley was about as funny as a Dilbert strip i.e. it amused me until I realized that technically I was laughing at the wrong bits, which I could tell because only did running gags on the most tedious of tropes.

randomgeek,

@jacobydave so clearly I'm in the betting pool for "random SV writer turns out to be fascist"

randomgeek,

@jacobydave "always use protection when entering the mosh pit"

randomgeek,

@jacobydave I see "show old people the door" which is of course open to interpretation

randomgeek,

@jacobydave seems like an important lesson for class.

randomgeek,

@jacobydave thought we were still in the etiquette class for a second and I went “yep mosh pits be like that”

Set up some work lights down below and a little work space up here. I feel I could do something interesting down there. Eventually, I mean. Maybe.

I love the fact that if I have a dessert craving @randomgeek jumps up and makes it for me! He’s the best. ❤️

randomgeek,

@IamMrsGeek perhaps not the super-best way to help you watch your blood sugar but hey if you wanted nutrition you'd have married a nutritionist.

There is currently a new Covid variant that's starting to circulate in Australia.

It's lineage name? "FK.1"

Again, it's feeling more and more like the writers are just utterly phoning it in at this point.

randomgeek,

@genehack @trs I feel like we're only a few variants away from a new Van Halen album title.

Can nothing stop it?
