@grueproof@fosstodon.org

Based in suburbia between Cleveland and Akron OH, USA. Coder by day, game master by night.

I am all about a good story: hearing, witnessing, or creating. Tabletop RPGs are my medium of choice. I consume books voraciously.

I believe in both the power of privacy and the power of sharing. People over profits. We must hang together or surely we will hang separately.

I just set up a monthly donation to @somafm for their May Pledge Drive. Can you help them out, too?

"Our fundraising is running behind, and we could really use your help. We still need to raise $24,760 this month (or $2,760 a day for the next 9 days) to meet our monthly budget. So far today we've raised $2,941, and for the month $45,239."

I need to stop thinking about my little personal coding projects a potentially useful and see them as they truly are: the modern equivalent of building ships-in-a-bottle.

@Extelec Solid plan. ;)

Tek Jr just texted me those words every parent wants to hear:

"Dad, can you help me install Linux?"

I think I'm crying.

I get that this is supposedly "stored locally" and encrypted, but I don't trust this even the slightest bit. I don't trust that Microsoft can keep its greedy mitts off that data.

@mike Someone in my staff meeting was talking about this today. I looked across the table and said, "Can I interest you in Debian Linux?"

Weird morning so far.

  • Shot wide awake at 5:22 am for no discernable reason (thanks body/brain)
  • Pointlessly tried to go back to sleep.
  • Gave up and got up to clear away the work inbox
  • Got a message from a former student of mine I haven't heard from in several years

I think this will need to be remedied with some and sprints today.

@jrrickerson +1 for the synthwave + python combo. What are listening to?

I've got @lukhash in my ears this morning while I code. More chiptune than synthwave, but still awesome.

It is by pollen alone I set my sinuses in motion. It is by the juice of histamine that the eyes acquire itch.

A few years ago, my kid wanted to be a scientist. And then he wanted to be a coder like Mummy. So proud.

Anyhoo now he wants to be a YouTuber so he "can play games and make money with ads".

Ooookay.

Tonight was the first session of our co-op/solo game, in which we come together for co-op sessions, then venture off on solo treks which we chronicle in a wiki.

@SaltyMonk @nukehavoc I bet we can share it after we clean it up a bit. Right now its a little chaotic.

Bad things that have happened to me since just before 6am eastern time:

  1. Wake up to an on call alert.
  2. Spoiled wet cat food explodes in my face.
  3. Family drama in group text messages won't stop rolling in.
  4. Donut box flipped over in the car.
  5. Dog smashed through the screen door….

So for anyone I've angered recently. You've made your point, you can stop stabbing the voodoo doll now.
