With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Today’s #Mead Adventures: Watered down the Meadowfoam to bring it up to a full gallon, now about 13% ABV and SG 1.013, bottled it, and re-racked the pyment for clarity. Will stabilize and sweeten tomorrow. In about two weeks I will bottle it, and cold-crash the current Wildflower batch.

Oy! Had a hard sneeze a few weeks ago and then back pain for a week. Might have been partly because I hadn’t been doing my stretches, due to surgery. Ask your doc for some stretches and exercises to loosen up and strengthen all that.

Very senior software engineer, seeking part-time remote development #contracts, mainly in #Elixir, #Ruby, #Python, or #C, maybe with sprinkles of JS but not front-end-heavy.

Also will speak at tech conferences for expenses, and at corporate events for fees.

Finally making an account here, moving off of Nazified Twitter. (Not gonna call it X except to note that that's the central part of a swastika.) I've skimmed my LinkedIn network, followed many of them here, and will be doing so with my Twitter peeps soon... ish.
