"Myoclonic Jerk? That was in an episode of House, right? Please god just let me sleep"

On Wikipedia. Need sleep. "...Prodrome? I don't know that word. Alright ... one more article." 10 minutes later, "please Wikipedia, no, I need to sleep, I can't read an article ... about ... Apophenia? Huh, sounds interesting..."

Good news: I have been remarkably productive this weekend. New water filter, filtered water spigot, and ice machine connection, as well as a new dedicated 15 amp outlet for the dishwasher with nicely loomed/managed cable, all for the girlfriend's place.

Bad news: I twisted slightly to the left this morning and now I can't walk around or stand normally.

Being handy and also being poly means you end up doing a lot of favors. 😅

... Then pausing to post this, before going back to searching for a whiteboard

ADHD is deciding we need to focus, thinking "I should close my office door", then "I should put a sign up so the kids leave me alone", then "This could really use a whiteboard", then spending 25 minutes looking for a whiteboard.

In either case, it definitely has some impact on the air I guess!

I haven't looked at cars in nearly a decade now, but I'm talking with a friend through their options. During this, I came across the phrase "aerodynamic spoiler" and I can't decide whether that's an oxymoron or whether it's redundant, but otherwise the word "aerodynamic" here is hilarious.

14/2 high voltage cabling at 50 cents a foot makes me kick myself for wasting so much when I was a new homeowner. $125 in cable for one project 😭

Incredible. #wx #mnwx

That feeling when you handwave a figure in a discussion, someone latches on to it firmly as "very concerning", sweating, realizing it was very much a ballpark estimate, so you spend the next two hours cranking out a spreadsheet which shows, in fact, the figure was bang-on perfect. Nobody should let me near computers.

I have had 2.5 weeks to prepare for this meeting. The meeting is now 27 minutes away. Guess it's time to start on that.

Working on a (really silly) series of posts building a (really silly) URL shortener. https://chris.harrington.mn/project/urlshorten/2022/05/09/url-shortener.html

Look, I'm way into waste reduction and conservation, but I'm not going to buy "Used - Good condition" lightbulbs, Amazon

Ooh, new @mspsocialusers version supports U2F! Thanks @lawremipsum

If you have the kind of relationship with your mom that you can call/text/hug them, don't forget to do that today.

I modified a cabinet and installed a dishwasher where a dishwasher didn't belong today. It was nice overcoming self doubt about it. Still anxious though.

Today's struggle: configuring myself for cleaning, earbuds in, shuffle his a great 6 minute track, but it takes 23 minutes to listen to the whole thing due to interruptions.

It's 2022 and I'm making a URL shortener. Living the dream.

Aviation has some of the best formal terminology. "Mach tuck." "Coffin corner."
