I have imposed nothing; @accalia's fondness of/adherence to GMT/BST predates our union
-
Oh, but it's OK for her to impose on you that way?
there's no imposition!
for you see:

No, we have four seasons: winter, hayfever, gloomy, and brown
Eh, we only have winter about one year in three. Mostly it's soggy, hayfever, gloomy, and brown.

Status: I literally cannot hear the word "lotion" without thinking, "It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again."

I finished my tribblify() function. It now covers the whole page in layers of fixed-position tribbles. After a a few iterations you can't move the mouse without hitting one and then they get out of hand. (It can be configured to onclick instead of onmouseover, for less troublesome tribbles, but that's sort of missing the point.)
The only thing is that I need some images of tribbles. I have a single image with a square white background that I don't actually own the rights to, that I've squiggled a coloured blob onto various copies of so I could check that the random tribble selection was working.

With double spinners. And 502's. And probably 404's. And maybe 501's. And it would still be slow.

status just drove 5000m2 at the lethal speed of 4 km/h. Sometimes slower because I haven't done it a while and I didn't want to hit anything.
-
just drove 5000m2
I also know nothing about how to drive. Would you like to have lunch together?
-
just drove 5000m2
How many square meters is your car? Trying to see how long this took you.
-
Is 5000m2 the area of the swatch your vehicle covered? That's a rather strange unit and quite useless without knowing the width of your car.
-
CHEESE! <madgod>
I'm high on allergy medicine..... woohooo!!!!!

It covers around a meter per sweep, but there is always some overlap, so it took me slightly more than an hour.

Well, back to the drawing board.

Does he also use one of these?

status: I feel dirty.... i went and looked this up to find out what those values meant.....
-shudder- i feel really dirty.....
i also fear for what will happen if anyone decides to change the order of those reasons.....

@blakeyrat will not be pleased.
Just don't refer to it as a "lawn mower". That causes him to lose his shit.
-
Why not? It mows the lawn...
-
It's apparently called a "lawn tractor", and I was an idiot for referring to mine as a "mower".
-
Was it because it is one you ride on rather than push? Just a wild guess as I normally skim over him ranting at people due to tedium.
-
He's wrong. Both according to OED, and according to John Deere.
-
And since when does being wrong stop him claiming he's right?

Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.

General: That is good! That is good.

Status: Noticed Dota 2 said I had a 583ms ping to the US East servers and even higher for all the others. Ignored that because it's a beta and maybe the servers are all busy or something.
Then I tried to watch the new Zero Punctuation video. It took more than a minute to load the page and start playing the video.
Then I went to speedtest.net and tried to get an image to post here, but the advertisements loaded so slowly that the code to hide them when I dismissed them ran before the code to show them when they loaded.

You know, we always feel bad for Ben whenever he talks about his ISP but someday he will have something approaching normal internet speeds and we are going to get a constant flow of huge dwarf fortress images with commentary in lojban and will want him to be back on Milwaukee PC.

Status: looking at my router's DHCP table. Notably missing are my computer, my server, my dhromebook, and my mom's laptop. Notably not missing are my sister's Macbook and Android phone, even though she's been away from home for over a week. Also, my dad's laptop has two IP addresses and two MAC addresses. And apparently there's an Apple TV in my house?
-
Set a Wi-Fi passphrase then you fool!
-
There is one. And since there aren't any other devices I don't recognize on the list, I'm assuming my dad bought it because ???

When that happens he'll have 50 Mbps and the rest of us will be running 50 Gbps.

Okay, 192.168.1.104 is sending MDNS requests with the name "Davids-iPod-Touch.local", so there's one mystery solved. Now I just need to figure out what the other unnamed machine is.
-
There is no 192.168.1.30 on my network, and I'm pretty sure there never has been one.
Both of those source addresses are my dad's laptop.

Status: apparently my GPG key expired a few days ago. I haven't used it in ages, but I may as well generate a new one. Does anyone know if expired GPG keys can sign their successor?

Status: I did a bad.... I checked in code i knew would break CI.... it's only my private dev branch, but still.... i broke CI!

I figure compiling a huge codebase would be an easier way to generate entropy than typing on the keyboard and possibly entering commands that delete my system.
