On the other cheerful side today, I had a #QRP contact (2.5 watts) via #MorseCode with another #HamRadio station 2460 km away. Considering I'm in a valley and the antenna runs down the hallway and wraps around the living room, I'm pretty happy.
Watching a SpaceX launch is really a great way to start the morning. It would have been great to see it in person, but I'm grateful for the stream.

It's been a rough day but at least there's Makeda in a box https://octodon.social/media/sVKjbuAgDrMPTZYE2o4

OK, code all checked in. The pull request can wait until Monday
So I'm watching "Thor: Ragnarok" on the plane and I see this scene with Heimdall opening a door and I think "Speak friend and enter."
Between him and Chloe Kim's amazing run yesterday I can't wait to get back on my #snowboard.
Wow, Shaun White had a *monster* third run to take home the #Olympic #GoldMedal in the #Halfpipe. That was amazing.
On the bright side, I can sit and drink a bloody mary while I work, which I for sure *can't* do at the office.
everyone being delusional is tiring
I'm sitting on an airplane using wifi to work and I'm complaining because it's too slow and creaky to Skype into my 10AM scrum.
I think I need to get a grip.
it is easy at times for me to fall into the groove of the dystopic landscape that surrounds us all, but that doesn't mean that I don't rep that everyday sunshine, children. it just means that we have to spread it around when we happen across it, and I'll tell you hwat, you all /are/ sunshine for my soul.
Ibland undrar jag hur hon är.
