I do not love that a lot of the same driving mentality permeates how people move around on crowded MUPs in #ottawa If you were in the group of bros loudly ringing your bells in unison to get people walking to move right off the path so you all could blast through the middle so fast I could almost feel you on my left shoulder, well I’ll tell you to fuck off in person when you’re stopped next time too. Slow the hell down and wait a singular minute once in a while #ottbike #biketooter

I'm still thinking about this conversation. I had some thoughtful exchanges about it yesterday. Today I'm having a different thought.

I feel like we spend a lot of time trying to take the things we like and make them free. And conversely we spend a lot of time taking the things we don't like and trying to force companies to pay us more money to do it.

Thursday:
112 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners
20 minutes of HIIT
30 minutes of strength training
~6km of #cycling to the site and to the next meeting spot.

No time for #running today; had to be onsite early, but I can say that pulling fibre itself is a great workout. We're in good shape for the upcoming music festival. Should be a fun season when that starts next month.

Two year offer with TELUS ended, so they wanted to charge us $170 a month just for internet???
Their offer online is $80 for better speeds than what we currently have.

So we have to waste an hour calling them, threaten to leave, to be offered $75 and better speeds to stick around.

How many people are not doing this and providing $100 of pure profit to them (they are still profiting at $75 from us).

Cannot wait for the next merger to complete the monopoly 🙄

I know other #iOSDev folks here have commented about some strange bugs in AppStore connect - anyone have any help for @wplate?

So we have via rail tickets booked for August and naturally I loaded the tickets in Apple Wallet… then a few days later I got an email saying the schedule was going to change and now I’ve gotten 2 new sets of tickets and I’m sick of adding and deleting tickets 🥸 I should be able to just use the same set of tickets regardless of what schedule changes but I’m annoyed at this process. If the time changes by 5 minutes and I need a whole new set of tickets? Gesus… #ottawa #viarail

Wednesday:
104 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners
30 minutes of HIIT
20 minutes of strength training
23km of #cycling (16°C)

Then, a quick shower, and biked to today’s site, spent two hours in a comfortable server room (quite cool to normal types), broke for lunch, then spent two hours pulling fibre outside, couldn't figure out why I was dying, biked home, and saw that there was a Humidex of 38°C.

Oh. No wonder.

Can it be winter now please and thank you?

PLEASE?

I just wasted about 2 hours of my time trying to figure out why a server would only connect at 100Mbit instead of the expected 1Gbit.

I had all sorts of ideas, NIC, driver, driver settings, switch related ... and in the end, I almost don't dare to say it, it turned out to be a cabling problem ... you know, there's a tiny little difference between a Cat5 and a Cat5e cable ...

Who the heck still has Cat5 patch cables lying around?!! ... me, for example 😱 but one less now!!

Spent the afternoon setting up my new MacBook Air, installing loads of software. I like to do this manually, leaving behind all the unnecessary stuff from my former MacBook I don’t intend to use on the new machine… #MacBookAir

Taking my daughter to school this morning when, apropos of nothing, she breaks the groggy silence and says:

"what if, as we age, our eyeballs wrinkled too?" :googlyeye:

Grossest marketing trend I’ve been seeing lately: companies sending you an email after you browsed their website, asking if you “forgot” to buy something.

Sometimes I’m logged in, and sometimes it’s a device-level cookie making the connection. Even with every privacy setting I can find turned on, plus as much network stuff as possible.
