Some folks appear to be having trouble with this whole "vegetarian” concept thing.
Sharing a Pliny with a friend and his doggo.
Grah. I forgot what's going on today. My favorite burger+beer joint is packed with raucous sportscritters. Off to a friend's house instead (pretty good backup plan).
Rocks are heavy when you're moving them by hand. Two tons of rocks still weighs two tons, even when you place it one or two rocks at a time. And there's still 21 freaking tons to go. Gotta find a better way.
Time for pain relievers, then burgers and a beer.
#NASA Goddard's video on a fossil trackway discovered during construction on the campus.
Saturday #winsday nr 2: After over a month of struggle finally defeated the evil epoxy bubble on the left hand board. Of course, its sibling has manifested near the knothole on the right hand board. But now I know what it takes to beat it.
[bubbles in one-coat epoxy have 2 sources. a) air entrained during the mixing process, and b) air in a crack in the board. You can pop them with CO2 from your breath or propane torch, but the latter are real buggers to get rid of]
#winsday on Saturday nr 1: Helped this wandering doggo get back in touch with his humans.
A beer with a name like a Harry Potter spell.
This is made of 100% pure cute+win.

Ok, Wiley E. Coyote hotshot thread programmer claiming 30 years of experience, let me introduce you to a little thing called a "mutex"...
Arg! Where's the image?? Ok there's the image.
Third coat of one coat epoxy on this part of the counter top. This goddam crack is bottomless and continues to generate bubbles. Looks like one more skim coat, a bunch of sanding, and another flood coat will be required. This is turning out to be far more time consuming than originally planned.

Beer o'clock cannot come too soon today.
Wile E. Coyote Super Genius developer adventure #3: deep in the guts of your code, override half the user supplied command line parameters with your own hardcoded value. This will let other developers spend the week trying to figure out why the fuck their parameter mapping runs show no change in system behavior.
Wile E. Coyote Super Genius developer adventure #2: Let's use both Hungarian notation and variable name suffixes! But only sometimes. And when we do have them, the are not at all meaningful. Take for example bThingFlag, which despite appearing to be a boolean, can have an apparently arbitrary number of states.
Wile E. Coyote Super Genius developer adventure #1: after two years of attempting to gain access to the SooperSekritSource code, I've finally obtained that. Of course, we can't use a shared Git repo for collaboration - I just need to put my code in a shared folder somewhere and Wiley will integrate it back into his secret Git repo.
