LRT awwww, I do love all corvids, but woodpeckers are so neat, they rank pretty high on my local birds hierarchy.

(Sorry, Blue Jay, I still like you too though)

Okay, I found someone wearing blue owl pyjamas to work, Halloween is saved

I talked to one of the Timmy's people while I was getting a coffee. They basically have a 15-20m long line all day, so they see a lot of people.

Aaand... almost no Halloween stuff at all. I'm so disappointed by this place :(

In honour of today...
"By spiders, for spiders... of spiders."

I've seen literally zero people in anything even resembling or hinting at Halloween stuff so far today, and I work at a university.

Help, my entire city is a black hole of fun where joy goes to die.

If I were more interested in downloading and trying out a lot of the really small, super niche, mega-indie stuff off like, itch or direct from a person, I'd almost want an entire other computer to do it?

(Desktop sandboxing & compartmentalisation baked into the OS when?)

Especially when it's like "this might trip your AV, but that's fine, just go ahead and allow that"

Like, okay, I know Toby isn't malicious, but I'd have a lot of reservations if it was anyone else. And that's like, sort of a problem?

The whole "Delta Rune uninstaller might accidentally delete files" thing just reminds me how much a lot of small indie stuff is basically, "here's a .exe file that you have downloaded from me, an anonymous individual, just go ahead and run that"

Specifically the SOFT GIRL cover

I've got Weird Autumn stuck in my head today, so that's at least seasonally appropriate

Maybe the past two years have, collectively, been a take so bad I'm forced to immediately go to sleep and that's why I'm tired all the time

I almost never hear rain outside my windows, because I don't have an awning or balcony to catch it - it has to fall at the right angle.

But it's doing it now, and I missed it a lot

Oh and I can only work on it at night, because exposing the [[REDACTED]] to light while they're running will destroy them.

I turned one fully automated astronomy shed into two fully automated astronomy sheds which is harder than it sounds because exclusive access to things is easier when there's only one thing exclusively accessing them.

I probably could have done most of this in like, a day if I didn't have to use C :(

Honestly, Undertale2 is probably the least imaginative thing Toby could do and I 100% expect him to subvert that expectation after making everybody talk about it.

I'd like to give a big shout out to my brain which seems to have decided that looping "King of Spain" in my head is a real great idea.

Completely unrelated, anyone know a good place to buy an ice pick?

I felt bad and then ate a lot of bad food to try to feel better and now I feel worse.

Alternate title: I have some egrets

I feel bad that it's taken me this long to get the software for monitoring and reporting instrument environmental data up and running.

I know what my design goals are and (at a high level) how to implement it, but actually getting the lines down in a source file takes too long

Well, it took six pill pockets but I think my cat may have figured out the ruse.

Whether he knows it's an ongoing thing, and whether he decides to stop taking the tasty treats remains to be seen.
