So now that I've been forcibly been deprived of Mastodon for a bit, I'm getting a sense of the people I missed hearing from and who are the ones that prevent me from seeing those people.

I have more pictures to post, but inexplicably, I can't. I just get media upload failures. Sigh.

Something that was obviously going to happen: when spring shifts in some places, the animals that depend on a specific timing find it hard to survive. Spring is changing at different rates in different places.

I saw next to no #FollowFriday posts yesterday.

I think a lot of users are still stuck in birbsite mode where they are acting like the communities and connections are already built.

#Mastodon needs #FF posts more than birbsite ever did because of the Federation.

We have to share more if we want to build good stuff. Boost more. @ more. Growth will happen but not without the work.

I descended Houde and climbed back up. In that time, someone on a bike needed an ambulance at the top of the mountain.

I kept riding, but seriously, it's not because I just love road bikes so much. It's because I love cyclocross that much, and it's coming. (Cross is always coming.)

So I went out on my road bike, just by myself, with no computer or anything.

It sucked, guys. I hated it.

Seriously, riding a training ride in the city with no way except perceived exertion to meter yourself is dull as hell if you're competitive. It's days like this that I miss having a mountain bike and a place to ride it. Training without feeling like training.

You can't just go out and see the sights and enjoy a road bike in a city like Montreal. There's no inherent joy of riding here.

Also I got a new fountain pen yesterday. It cost me $3.50 and took six weeks to get here from Hong Kong, but it's actually pretty nice.

It hasn't been terribly sunny here this spring, but it happened today and I have proof.

hey masto folks, friends n #gamedev people

do you know of a cool indie game with LGBTQ or female or non-white characters in it? tell me about them!

(also pls boost this toot, i'd be super grateful! โœจ )

1) I am *obnoxiously* hungry.
2) All my lisp is working, so I'm ultra stoked
3) These things do not cancel out
4) A thing worked in a way I didn't expect, but it worked and I understand why, so I'm okay with that
5) How are you?

Time spent setting up dev console: ~3 hrs
Time spent writing new workflow elisp: 8? 10? Lots, anyway.

I'm currently being snowed on, which is, as we all know, complete bullshit.

I've got one of those annoying pains under my shoulder blade AND I broke my swimcap this morning, but I remembered to actually put the letter I wrote in the mailbox, so the day is going pretty okay.

This is a video of me flipping through my commonplace book. It's mostly poetry and math and interesting facts, but I also keep keep notes on the coffee I buy and how I brewed it.
