I wouldn’t say I’m never satisfied. But I would say that satisfaction with anything I work on is temporary. Today I’m thinking about the design of my vanity one-page website. I’m thinking about the link to it from Micro.blog, and I’m also thinking about a major CSS overhaul of my Micro.blog itself.
I stopped using my real name at restaurants. I have been using “Silver” because my beard is mostly grey. I figure that would help people wondering who was whom. But if I tell people “Silver”, what I see on the receipt is “Siler” and “Sliver”. So, problem not solved.
TIL that adding an RSS source to Micro.blog does require separate settings for replication, and therefore does allow distinct replication options. Micro.blog does not assume you want each source handled identically, even if that is your own intent.

Some things just do not work in Safari on iPadOS. Some things just do not work in Safari on MacOS. I do try to stay Apple-native on Apple devices, though I do wish Apple allowed alternate web tech on iOS. But sometimes, I just switch to Firefox to get me over some bumps in the road.
Might need to switch up strategies. My window for reading at bedtime is becoming more variable and shorter.

Apparently, the mechanics of Animal Crossing New Horizons will allow multiple purchases of a legitimate artwork. So now I have two gotchas when shopping and I need to keep an inventory. Yes, I deeply enjoy ACNH.
That feeling when you pre-order the next book in the series you just finished and the projected availability is not for 10 more months. This is better than not knowing if there is a next book in process, but also anticlimactic. Checks watch: Yep. Still 10 months.
Feeling super snarky at work today. I’m aware that I’m feeling snarky and for the most part it doesn’t get out—but I’m not in the clear. I will apologize to one person as one of those after-the-fact realizations that I could have said the same thing without saying the same thing.
Can I just say I was filled with rage today when I was asked to assist a person with a technical issue, and the first time they suggested was 12PM-1PM? I honestly understand that folks are busy with meetings throughout the work day, but lunch is not a free space. No.
I didn’t expect to enjoy lavender in my coffee as much as I do.
The Big Mashup by Airiel.
Five stars. Would recommend.
Somehow I made it to 1PM without needing the Authenticator app on my work phone. Which means I didn’t realize I had left my work phone in my car this morning. My gratitude to the FindMy app which showed me a truth I could hardly believe.
Maybe, if the weather was bad overnight so the commute was a challenge even after a co-worker asked for one more thing before you left the house, and the coffee in your travel mug tastes good, and you’re already late, maybe Rob Zombie can finish his song before you go inside.

Well, my Hogwarts Legacy level 16 character has already surpassed my previous level 20 character in terms of ability. And, I was able to defeat the Acromantula that I could not previously get past. A couple of tips I ran across have been invaluable.
Afternoon project and soundtrack:
I’ve been doing technology support for three decades. It is so disappointing after all this time that sometimes what you need for an app to do what it was designed to do is to quit and restart. Not to do something special, just for the app to what its designers intended, that base functionality.
And then I spent the rest of the day in deep recovery and have spent a fair amount of time in Hogwarts Legacy starting back from the beginning, in Story Mode. Right now “the story” is more compelling and the tasks and challenges feel like they are leading somewhere. It has been fun!
