Extremely Clean

  • I’ve gotten a bit spoiled already, and pretty much can’t stand going anywhere during peak hours when John Q. Public is off work. I forgot Monday was a federal holiday, and went to a local cafe to get a little afternoon coffee with Cynthia until we saw the crowd. We noped out of there, and I made some fancy coffees at home instead. <insert some pithy line about voters’ economic anxiety>
  • I migrated the bell pepper seeds to sit on top of the refrigerator, thinking some heat may help ā€˜em sprout. It worked! Looks like we’ll be swimming in bell peppers by the summer as planned.
  • Went to a freshly constructed library near us just to get out of the house. I tinkered around with Loco for a bit while there.

  • I’ve been using *nix systems of some type or another since the aughts. And I just learned that you can do string substitution in parameter expansion. I used this the other day to rename a bunch of files. It looks like this:
    for file in some*.files
    do
      mv $file ${file//replace_me/with_this}
    done

  • Important reminder: šŸ—“ļøPancake Day is Tuesday. Don’t forget to… well, you know the drill šŸ„ž
  • Finally paid my dues for Jess’s 2024 MotoGP Video Game championship dinner + drinks deal. He doesn’t read this blog, so I can be honest: he whipped my ass this year. If you are reading this, Jess: fuck you.
  • Not sure if you’ve noticed, but there have been an upsetting number of sieg heils flying about lately…
