I failed my “Onion or Real News" test on this one because, let's be honest, this one is probably true (in the sense that fanboys would say it, not that Silver Surfer couldn't be a woman).

Edison failed to find the right filament.

Dr Seuss failed to get published.
Einstein failed to get a professorship.
Lincoln failed 8 elections.
Van Gogh failed to sell more than 1 painting.

And the student was enlightened.

@asmartbear I can't remember if I heard this somewhere or just made it up myself, but I often use "pre-success.” It's so buzzwordy that I can't help but smile when I say it.

kyleejohnson,
@kyleejohnson@jawns.club avatar

@asmartbear I think that’s the general gist. I mean, if “move fast and break things” is supposed to bed to eventually lead to success, then “pre-success” tracks. Right?

My mom literally did not ask me about work once the entire 6+ years I worked in the U.S. Senate.

She's asked me about work every day since I got my new job. 🙄 😡

Time to run my horrifying python code that builds a bash script that I use to repeatedly call some fortran code and make output I pull back into python for calculating telescope pointings.

My deepest apologies to everyone here who actually has training in making good software. I'm doing science!

(And no, I'm not looking for advice. Hilariously, this dumpster fire of code works well enough, and I don't need to improve it right now.)

@sundogplanets I’ve done Serious Programming. None of that sounds unreasonable.

I'm realizing this morning that one of the (very few) benefits of being unemployed is that there are no Mondays. This morning I had my yogurt/granola/m&ms concoction that I usually do on Saturdays. I'm going to go for a walk later this morning like I do on Sundays. I'm going to read and probably watch a movie later, which I usually do on Tuesdays when my spouse is with her knitting group.

Days have no meaning and time is a construct.

Those of you who are middle-aged women: What clothing brands do you like for relatively casual work wear? Trying to find some new options.

kyleejohnson,
@kyleejohnson@jawns.club avatar

@APBBlue I am obviously not a middle-aged woman, but my spouse is. She gets a fair amount of stuff from Cold Water Creek and Lands End. The former is online only now (at least we think so). I'm kind of bias, but I think she looks pretty awesome in the stuff she gets.

Well, I guess I should round out my social media posting about this here. Today my job with the City of Philadelphia was eliminated as part of restructuring within the Office of Innovation and Technology. If someone is looking for a former CIO with experience in municipal government and higher education, I'd be happy to chat.

Charlton McIlwain’s Black Software is so good I keep yelling as I read it, it should be considered foundational for so many people interested in tech—and it’s such a tightly written, info-dense, pacey read.

Our eclipse experience in Oswego, NY was suboptimal but still great. The clouds rolled in just as the eclipse started. Here’s a pic at about 98%. At totality it got completely dark, the temp dropped, and the nocturnal animal behaviors kicked in (including a few bats). Still worth it.

In San Antonio, waiting for the eclipse and the cloud cover is pretty terrible. How is it wherever you are??

@skrishna partly sunny in Oswego NY, but we’re in a bit of a race against the clock as a band of clouds is headed east for us.

@CheapPontoon @talia_christine 1 cubic foot for every hour of noise they make that disturbs you. 2 cubic feet every time you can’t park because of construction vehicles. The whole fucking thing if any construction worker whistles at you or asks to use your bathroom.

On a post that has absolutely NOTHING to do with this, two people have been arguing in my comments for three days about whether spreadsheets are databases. The thread is now almost 50 comments.

@cfiesler I feel like at this point you should ask if a hotdog is a sandwich and then ask if it would be better to track the answers in a spreadsheet or a database.

And then mute the hell out of that thread.
