Computers, outdoors, and whatever else seems like a good idea at the time. Oregon Trail Generation. Yak Shaver.

In Google docs all of the text formatting options are ctrl+[one key]...except strikethrough (the one I use the most) which is alt+shift+5. WTF?

That moment when you realize you just wrote 1750 words about a thing you _didn't_ do. 🤪

Some days I want to change my name to Cassandra so at least I can understand why no one will listen to me. 🙄

Plenty of interesting problems left to be solved in this space so you'll never be short of things to do. :-)

Oh, and I should probably talk about what we do for those who aren't aware. My team does on-prem networking for OpenShift, which is basically all the networking stuff that you don't have to worry about/can't do in the cloud.

Hey! My team is hiring: global-redhat.icims.com/jobs/95814/pri… If you're interested, let me know so I can get you a referral link. Location is listed as Germany, but of course we're flexible so don't let that stop you if you live somewhere else.

@Foone How am I just now noticing that the last four months of the year are named wrong?! 🤯

First work trip in almost three years, and so far MSP replaced all my favorite restaurants and the stupid corporate card they insisted I have to use now...doesn't work. I had to type in the number manually just to get a bottle of pop. Off to a great start! 🤪

*Opens Slack after vacation* *66 notifications* *Closes Slack* Given that I'm working at most half days this week that's basically an impossible task. Hope nobody wanted to get ahold of me anytime soon. ;-)

Hot tip for any UX designers out there: No one likes popups. No one. If you're showing me a popup it had better be for a literal life-and-death scenario, not so you can regale me with your latest features. Looking at you, every web app. 🤬

@matthewdbooth I saw them both back to back on BTTF Day a few years ago and can confirm. I still enjoy the concept of the second one, but it got a lot less reaction from the crowd. Not nearly as many memorable moments.

Your periodic reminder that "perfection is the enemy of good" applies to politics too. Has Biden done everything I want? No. Has he done a lot of good? Yes. The narrative that Democrats don't do anything is right wing propaganda. Don't fall for it.

Apparently this is yet another joy of deregulation. The @FCC stopped requiring cable cards so the 141000 people using them today are SOL. Streaming is not a valid replacement. That's _why_ I still pay for cable. thedesk.net/2020/09/fcc-ca…

Just got an email that @GetSpectrum is dropping support for Cable Cards, which means I would no longer be able to use my DVR. This could very well result in me dropping cable entirely since I have no interest in paying for their inferior DVR every month.

Naturally this got announced about an hour after I re-upped my channel guide subscription for the next year. At least Schedules Direct is an awesome service so if my $25 ends up being a donation I won't feel bad about it.

Companies take note: I _will_ be voting with my dollars when you try to force me into subscriptions I don't want. If @metronetfiber supports cable cards they are likely getting a new customer in the near future.
