My Hexie quilt is finally finished! Many lessons learned making this, such as "don't back a quilt with fleece, you over-ambitious fool" and "your hand sewing is average at best!". But I'm really pleased with how it came out, and it's lovely and cuddly.

Since there’s been a resurgence lately of the “mastodon is mostly just for folks who use Linux” thing …

… i’m now curious about my community here

(i’m offering intentionally crude and ungranular options in this poll)

“I use Linux …”

(Please boost!)

My oldest brought a friend home from college for Thanksgiving with us.

Today I overheard him exclaim “Ah yes. Mozzarella Firefox!”

So I had to make a logo.

I'm looking for a job. I have 30 years of experience doing complex systems programming in many languages, most recently Typescript, Haskell, and Python. I learn quickly. I can do advanced mathematics.

This year I helped a company migrate 15,000 customers from another company into their own systems.

Last year I helped develop a differential privacy database product written in Haskell.

Before that I helped develop a laboratory information management system that tracked up to 30,000 Covid-19 tests per day.

I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, but I have years of success working remotely. I can start January 1.

Please check out my CV.

The NCT is really just a sleeper cell for the birthday party industry. Before you know it you're spending an insane amount of money over 2 months every year, because your kid and 7 others all throw a party where they all invite each other

we've moved office floors and there's a bunch of new conference rooms on this floor that they asked for names for, with the naming scheme being "microsoft products" and:

1) One of my (and probably others) suggestions, Clippy, actually made it lmfao

2) They have a room named "Solitaire". It is set up for four people.

3) They have a room named "Windows". It is, guess what, an interior room with no windows.

our facilities team might be comedy geniuses, actually

Made a new friend today, but the lighting was VERY spooky!

It's bad luck to say "MacBook" in the office, you have to refer to it as "the Scottish laptop"

A sneak peek of my almost-finished Hexie Quilt. I decided on a fleece backing (because why not make it harder on myself?!), which wrinkled to buggery, but you can't tell from the front. Just need to bind it and I'm done. #quilting

Yeah, no TikTok, sharing my daily habits is not going to motivate anyone, unless it’s as a case study of what not to do.
