Hey friendos! Ottawa Processing Day 2019 is over, which means my talk is done, which means I can experience joy again instead of just anxiety about giving my talk.
@tildetown got called out heavily, and especially @curio (for botany).
Please find attached this image of the Tilde Town Time Service that ran back in November 2017.
It's really more of an artists rendition - as it was created post-facto - but I actually built a working speaker amplifier on breadboard for authenticity reasons.

Duolingo is holding me hostage with its streaks, which is great because the only way I'll learn is if I'm guilt-tripped by a cartoon owl.

<tracer> When you talk about content, consider also silence
When I am emperor all "please confirm your address" emails will have a "this is not me" option.

Oh this tootstream this is really quite nice. Maybe a chill way to stay in touch on Mastodon without having a full client around. Great for my little NetBSD netbook.
Surprise upgrade to 2.7.0 -- https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.7.0 -- (well, it wasn't a surprise to me, but it might be to you).
I just got a tutorial screen which was ... nice I guess?

"What's on your mind?"
Me, thinking: Death, legacy, how to live a good life, the pursuit of happiness, what do I want out of life, am I a good person, do I really understand love, am I wasting my time, what am I missing out on, will I ever feel grown up, what does success mean, what have I done with my life, can I survive on my own, would I want to, what if this is my last day, why can't I express myself adequately, does any of it matter, …
Me: "Not much. You?"
I didn't see you not looking when I messed up
