But no matter how you slice it, it's bad that Jay's name is on this list of CEOs, all the rest of whom have kissed the ring the US.

A selfie of me next to a mirror so you can see the back of my tweed sport coat. It has cloth appliqué of three skulls - white black red. I have a green collared shirt with flowers and plant patterns on it.

Weather is getting slightly cooler. I have an event tonight so I decided to wear my triple skull jacket.

So if you start your day with calls at 7am (PST timezone curse!), it turns out that ending your day at 5pm makes for 10 hour days.

Going to need to figure out how to dial it back a bit.

Is it an alt if I just … use my name and emo post? Not really

Nobody blow my cover on this alt even if it starts posting bangers. Absolutely need to turn this into one of the first private accounts.

In case you were wondering, I absolutely can’t drink a coffee and ride a scooter.

Dinner plate with cucumber + tomatoes dish, boiled potatoes (Salzkartoffeln), and chicken drumstick. 

A Stanley Park Brewing Parklandia Hazy IPA is behind the plate and a glass of that beer is at right. 

The beer was … not good. That’s what I get for just drinking random leftovers at my parents house.

Here’s dinner tonight, all I did was peel and boil the potatoes, everything else by @anne.onbowen.ca

Instructions for using a coffee maker

Instructions for using a coffee maker

I’m expected to figure out coffee maker instructions BEFORE coffee???

(it was fine and this fresh grind / re-usable pod thing was pretty good)

I am actually feeling a lot better and slept all day but I have to get some more fluids and eat something.

It’s been a great week in NYC but now I’m holed up in my hotel room drinking ginger ale & feeling sick.

Success! I have a new 10 year Canadian passport!

Passport Office aka Service Canada were great.

Professional. Efficient. Saved my butt.

I can report: renewing a passport in Canada works great! 🇨🇦 🍁

Went and grabbed lunch at like 2:10pm at Kita No Donburi that I haven’t been to in a long time.

Walked over to Sinclair Centre.

I hung out at Z-Space just kind of drained.

So I played the new Hierophant class in WH40K Inquisitor for a couple of hours.

The Asus Zenbook that I put Bazzite on is still kind of potato but it is an old game.

Then I got on the phone for an hour with Air Canada to rebook basically the same flight tomorrow.

This was kind of the most stressful part.

The payment link didn’t work with 2 of my 3 credit cards (even though they all work in the Air Canada site).

I arrive 9:30am or so. Pleasantly surprised by short 5min wait.

Explained the situation, signed form in two more spots, then like a 2min wait and I was up in the processing line.

It was $100 more for emergency, but they said they could get it done by 2:30pm TODAY.

I already had the form filled out mostly because I knew I had to renew.

Finished the form, first passport photo place didn’t open until 11am, second place took them on the spot.

Then cab direct to passport office.

Today has been stressful. I was supposed to fly out to Barcelona for a team retreat.

Turns out, errors with online checkin were from having a passport that expires in less than 3 months, which means you can’t get into Europe.

So back home, scramble for emergency passport renewal.

Have you ever eaten something and thought to yourself “there’s a 50% chance this is going to give me food poisoning”?

Build software better, together GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

It gets applied automatically by the watchtower process.

Or, by logging into your server & pulling the newest image.

Now that the newest PDS update is applied, there is an /account page for managing sessions and OAuth connected apps.

Should I move protocol posting to my alt?

It’s getting to the point where people building Bluesky-related directory sites clog the ATProto feed with replies and posts.

We get it, you discovered the cool new app the same time as all of us.

Why do you need to tell us about the page you made for it on your website?

This feed by @essem.space lists accounts that are not on Bluesky PDS, so you’ll always be able to access it.

I have several accounts on my self hosted PDS.

But I keep being asleep when Bluesky PDS have issues.
