...okay, so apparently this is a thing? Was this Minna's doing or one of us?
Frankly, I'm surprised that somebody wasn't already doing this.

I doubt it's Minna's, else she may have a) populated it with at least one tweet, or b) made enough for everyone.

This a generic promotion of my stuff post, so you don't need to pay attention to it, but I'd certainly like it to be paid attention to.

Now is the absolute perfect time to catch up on Spamadventure. Why you ask? Because right now is the point of a major decision being made and  voting on that closes friday, September first. Catch up on all the plot (and possible plotholes) that exists within the story, and help craft a decision that may very well shape the fate of the spam-adventure world.


I also highly encourage you to also peruse Spam in the year 90 and spam kingdom

Heiteru, you play ukulele? So does my youngest sister, and has great fun with it. She mostly plays musichall and singalong stuff though - her local pub has a ukulele band.

Yes, ukulele, as well as classical guitar and piano in my access. Thanks to my father for what he instilled in me a love for music in childhood.
Singalong to music is pretty fun! It's more fun to whistle when you don't know or forget the lyrics of the song or melody or something else  ;D
Ukulele band - sounds cute and cool!

I love singalongs. We have a music night at my house once a month, mostly singers, but occasionally various instrumentalists - it's great fun. Mostly folk, filk, a bit of classical and stuff that some of us write. I can't close my hands well enough to play the greatharp anymore, so a friend who can play has it on permanent loan until time for my kids to inherit it. I still play the small table harp, my husband bought me a soft-strung one when the wire strings became too much for my hands, and I still can sometimes get a tune out of mandolin, pennywhistle, fiddle and bodhran. Mostly I like to sing.

A lot of the pubs here in the Barossa and the Hills, as well as down in Adelaide, have regular music sessions. I still get to one of those occasionally.

There's nothing quite so dull as being stuck onsite at a client with no access to anything.  I can't even sit and read.

Let's see, what kind of carry-on equipment does this Unix&networks consultant have ready to fall out of his pockets ... ?
  • Laptop with wifi and VLAN(QinQ)-capable RJ45 interfaces
  • extra USB NIC, also VLAN-capable
  • bunch of RJ45 cables, including a 20m roll
  • small 5+ ports switch
  • tethering-ready company cell phone
  • bagful of serial cables and the USB-to-serial converter to use them
  • a plethora of scanning software that I really should get to know better
  • ... oh, and hardware tools, of course. Lots of tools ...

It's strange, but the local admins seem to never have a problem finding something to occupy me with ...

Today, at the post office, I produced the best signature of my life.
It was readable yet unique, non-chicken-scratchy yet me. For one second the pen did exactly what I wanted it to, in one beautiful, smooth motion. It was perfect.
I will never be able to replicate it. I think I might cry.

I also think I might be getting overdramatic because of upcoming school, but whatever.

Yeah, I just have no access to any of the systems, shared folders, or software I need yet.  I'd sit at my desk and read if I could
