Literally gave a less senior colleague this advice a few weeks ago: it’s okay to volunteer to be the person to step up to handle the new emergency BUT you also gotta say what you’re doing currently that’s now gonna be delayed/late because of the new thing you’re taking on.

You can’t absorb a new responsibility without impacting an existing one, and if you’re not vocal about that, you’re punching yourself in the face.

Don’t punch yourself in the face, y’all. https://glammr.us/@overholt/112527549646116722

Cicadas are thought to have prime number-based emergence cycles as a defense against predation — and, ironically, now that’s making some humans have an intense desire to consume them.

Humans!

Chicken Caesar salad pro-tip: brine the chicken in lemon juice and salt, about 4-6 hours, then pepper it well, oil both sides, and grill.

If you’re making your own dressing (…you are making your own dressing, yeah?) you already have fresh-squeezed lemon juice from that, so make the dressing earlier in the day and brine the chicken in the excess lemon juice. The dressing is better with some melding time in the fridge anyway

Drive back from Seattle took 4 hours, 49 minutes — car says average speed 45mph. (I can't say I didn't stop because the traffic was ass but I can say I didn't get back out of the car after I started.)

Good to be home but apparently it's summer now and I'm moist and I hate it.

Office re-organization complete! Really wish I’d remembered to take “before” pictures, but:

Looking to the right from the desks, we have file cabinet, book cases, and miscellaneous storage.
In the corner opposite the desks, there’s a little book for reading, gaming, napping, etc.
Looking back at the entry door, more storage, water cooler

Hey y’all look what I found when I cleaned out the box where my old backpacks were… #perl

The back of the cream colored shirt with a large logo of the iconic Perl camel
A blue “Perl” shirt with the camel head in white, also autographed by Larry, Damian, and Randal
The back of the blue shirt with the legend “Code matters.”

Yall I have not built a piece of IKEA furniture in a very hot minute and I really hope whoever invented this dingus got a massive fucking bonus. As somebody who has fucked up kore than one BILLY bookcase trying to nail down the back, this is life changing.

I'm currently in the middle of completely re-arranging my office and my biggest takeaway is HOLY CRAP i need to have, like, an annual event where i move stuff away from the walls and clean it because 7-ish years worth of dust is A LOT.

I have now installed the fourth app on my AppleTV to be able to watch a Thorns match. Really hope #NWSL figures streaming out before next season... #baonpdx

I sat down to throw together a quick blog post with an image dump from my recent NYC trip with @west_winds and somehow there’s no trivial CLI tool to batch web-optimize and resize images that allows you to say “make the bigger dimension X pixels wide and preserve the aspect ratio”? So now I’m gonna be writing something to detect landscape vs portrait orientation.

I swear I wrote this before in, like, 1998, how is this not a thing.

(Also how is ImageMagick still the best tool for this JFC…)

Where the fuck is the Thorns match streaming today? #rctid #baonpdx #nwsl

genehack, 2 months ago to NWSL

My wife found the match on Prime but it continues to be WAY TOO FUCKING HARD to figure out #nwsl streaming. If they’re going to have this fucked up multisyndication bulllshit they need one site that explains where matches can be found. It’s not at all obvious from the Thorns site. #baonpdx https://dementedandsadbut.social/@genehack/112187268969163580

No pictures but tonight I made bucatini arrabbiata and garlic bread and it was completely fucking amazing. (And hush about carbs with carbs, the bread was to sop up the sauce.)
