Mildly annoyed. Thought, okay, my laptop is getting much better Wi-Fi speeds than my desktop with its USB dongle. I'll get a wireless card, that'll be faster! Okay, so I installed it, went from 10-20 to maybe 30-40. Fine but my laptop gets 300...

okay great, so, I thought, all right, let's try downloading plex, they say it should be easy to get to work, and it's like... there's a lot of stuff unsaid here, because this does not just work and I have no clue what buttons to push to get it to work on my local network, if my router is even capable of supporting it.

okay so i'm going to put a fast wireless/bluetooth card (not USB dongle) into my old desktop that i run fedora on. I need one that is:

1. fast
2. works with no hassles on linux
3. seriously i need both of those. I can get 500Mbps down on my windows laptop, get only 10 on this desktop

oh man so somebody fell on hard times -- walked by the pawn shop, there's a rather nice (epiphone) les paul for way too much money in the window next to a really nice marshall (for way too little money). seriously, though, i just bought an amp yesterday for good money off somebody, if i didn't, i'd be very seriously considering storming in there and getting it, it's criminally underpriced unless it's either broken or not what it looks like. #guitar #amp #marshall

with the boomers getting out of the way, i guess we'll have to start saying "okay Xer" instead.

i really need to find a place that will convert my mandolin book into a comb-bound book

why do any of these books come in editions other than plastic comb bound??? #mandolin #bookbinding

sometimes my coughs resonate with the mandolin, which is cool, I guess?

Sent a note to work to presume I'm off until Friday and be pleasantly surprised if I'm better before then

all right i've got my suit, i'm on a mission from God, it's dark, i'm wearing sunglasses, close enough.

i really should've checked teh weather before going on my early evening walk -- got caught in a downpour. i did NOT succeed in getting a suit out of my car.

thinking of maybe getting rid of my Vox SDC-1 Mini. it's a fun little thing to have at my desk to noodle around with in spare moments, but maybe the mandolin will take that role. Or just a normal guitar. #guitar

I got my old acoustic professionally set up in the fall and now that it's spring it's time to do it again myself. Action and neck relief seem fine but I have a little buzz on the D and G strings from frets 3-7. I haven't measured the relief but when I test it it clears the frets with a small gap, so it's not bad. I'm trying to figure out what to adjust. Does that sound like a neck relief issue, an action issue, or a fret issue? Or an "acoustics can have a little buzz as a treat" issue. #guitar

Holy crap I found this box on the ground and.... I own this set. They're from like the late 80s and are all about the Reagan and Bush era drug war stuff. There are a couple other similar sets I have for other scandals of the era.

so for a while the grocery store was being extremely annoying with their theft detection -- basically, if you put your own reusable grocery bag in the bagging area, they'd be like HEY YOU LITTLE THIEVING SHIT, STOP IT, and call over the attendant to verify you didn't try to steal anything. combined with the city's mandate to bring your own bags, it made self-checkout a trying experience. but the last couple times, not a peep!

Had another moment where my phone was like LOL you didn't actually lock me right, now that you put me in your pocket, I'll mess up all of your settings. Never had this problem with the previous phone. Really need to sort this out.

tried using a cribbage board for scorekeeping in Azul, very much preferable to the little cube track. will probably do this for any <4 player game where people get more than a handful of points. #azul #boardgames

<checks calendar>. okay guys, i have to come clean: after some reflection i have come to the realization that my religious and moral convictions most align with anarchism. and specifically that the NON-AGGRESSION principal is the foundation of mutual relations, and therefore i must be an anarcho-capitalist. in this essay i will... #aprilfools

Should've planned ahead, we got a couple roll and write games so I picked up some laminating sheets to laminate four of each, but one game is too big for four on one page and the other has room to spare. If I'd planned ahead, could've going 2+2... #boardgames
