Happy Thoughts

As far as watching live sports go, hockey with great seats is about the best you can get imo. Have fun!

We took the little one to Paris for her 6th birthday and she managed to make it up all 642 steps of the Eiffel Tower up to the 2nd floor with me (wife only lasted till the 1st floor). I was very impressed by her energy.

Business is a-boomin.

life company took me to a hockey game last night. eh, the crowd is fun. had an amazing steak and tortellini dinner. then we get chatting about AI (welli pitched them a bit). I tell them about this idea I have for a service that’s I think unique and likely valuable. my rep says, his boss is actively looking i to getting that exact service, right now.

How crazy coincidental is that. now I have to rush to build a structure then call buddy to pitch him.

There are a number of things that are culturally quite acceptable but upon examination are horrifying. Declawing cats is an example.

Anyone else have a flotilla of witches in their city? Fun to walk down to Granville Island to see them.

what, utility grade? 3 legged?

I got a 12lb turkey for free because my bil raises them lol.

Grade A from a cooperative in Hanover, ON. I am sure it had a superlative education and associated with only the finest turkeys. :face_with_monocle:

ETA: Go buy a new graphics card.

So I did. installed it only to find out that only the absolute latest version of Linux supports it so I spent the afternoon upgrading my computer.

anyway, things are almost working now. stuff looks good, just my windows virtual machine is barfing. almost there.

Well, it took many weeks to get a new laptop that actually works, and find the time to re-wire new monitors and a new docking station thing, and do proper cable management. But I’m really happy with my new setup, it looks a lot cleaner than the old one, and the new machine is way faster. Probably added ~10% or more to my productivity here. Or for the same level of productivity I can be ~10% lazier, win-win.
