I think software developers like to work in โ€œdark modeโ€ because bugs are attracted to light

Friends in , my week: The last day of classes was yesterday, the first day of finals is tomorrow. Of course, there's a school all-hands meeting and a dept faculty meeting today, thus proving that administration absolutely doesn't teach or think about teaching. (I skipped the former, it's always creative numbers and affirmations, but the latter has some important stuff in it, so I'm zooming in while I finish up a final.)

@elb Your friends from outside academia know "it's always creative numbers and affirmations" intimately. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hang in there!

Hardly anyone talks about anymore now that the word can be used to describe almost every major website and a significant amount of commonly used software and apps.

These days, it's only spyware if it's made in Russia or China. Otherwise, it's just sparkling espionage. ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿฅ‚

@mjgardner ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sparkling espionage! Adding that to my lexicon.

Why do people roast coffee dark, and why would anyone buy it? It smells like hatred and sadness and tastes like broken dreams.

So after a restful sleep with interesting dreams featuring Patrick Stewart, I'm ready to go forward with some . It's a lovely rainy day which adds to the ambience of being a misunderstood poet. I'm naming my little phlog engine "iambic" since @thac0 said it needs to include iambic hexameter :p
