@forteller I have wanted this for bike rides forever, and have not found a great solution

I think since I don't get snow days anymore I should get "today is too nice to be inside" days

(not that they are mean about it, they are also somehow unfailingly kind. this is all in my head)

I really love working with smart articulate people, even though it makes me feel much less smart and articulate sometimes

@felwert (looks very similar to nocodb, which I had not heard of!)

@felwert https://baserow.io (open source airtable clone) could do for some of the concepts - they have a version you can just sign up for, but it is open source and can be run locally if needed

@MarcSchulder it was one of the "extras" I got from the welcome to nightvale role playing game :D

Karin in front of posters in their office. Karin is wearing a black beanie hat, a purple and gray shawl, and fingerless gloves.

Still no heat but I'v got a hat, hacker gloves, and shawl blanket so I'm comfy cozy

My thermostat is broken at work and I am trying to think of it as hardening myself for winter

A hand holding an enormous yellow maple leaf that is more than 12 inches in diameter

They call it a big leaf maple for a good reason.

@stefan_hessbrueggen nah that would be too convenient 😆

I guess if worse comes to worse I can also bring my computer to a help desk, but I am not sure what the process is if I don't have my authenticator app with me

(worse comes to worse I leave early, walk home and swing by my partner's work to get a house key)

well it finally happpened - I forgot both my keys AND my phone today, so I'm jsut hoping I can make it throught he work day without having to authenticate anything 🤞

I tried to see if copilot would let me add meetings using natural language to my calendar. I tried, it said it added the meeting, it did not add the meeting

No matter how good calendar tools get, they are still so woefully inadequate

How many alarms do I need to set to make SURE I take my daily meds before I leave for work? Well, I'm now up to 3

You’d think “AI helps so much with cumbersome boilerplate and complex frameworks” would lead to people questioning all the cumbersome boilerplate and complex frameworks

Watching another person learning Omeka S and doing the "this is probably going to suck, every CMS sucks" "hmm ok maybe this is ok" "wow I was able to do everything I wanted to do" speedrun

It's not perfect (nothing is) but so far I've only been pleasantly surprised when working with it and in […]

"requesting cameras to be on" 👎

I'm kinda digging microsoft lists so I expect they will announce they are getting rid of it any day now

Today in microsoft discoveries:

I can't share a microsoft "plan" (planner board) with one other person, because they have to be in a "group" and I can't make new "groups."

But I CAN share a microsoft "list" (which also has grid and kanban and calendar views) with one other individual.

Why do […]

Some posters on a wall, using magnets to stick to metal rails held up with command hooks. There are a couple of screen prints (a justice themed one and one that says "velo love"), posters for the Nebraska authors website and the video games and the humanities forum, an ACLU poster, a poster with an Andy goldsworthy sculpture on a prairie on fire for "violence, the arts, and cather", a little print that says "libraries are magical" featuring a character from girls with slingshots by Danielle corsetto, and a welcome to nightvale art print showing 3 pairs of shaking hands but one is a tentacle

Really digging my new office poster wall. See alt text for details on posters.

Sometimes a #nonprofit org will buy an ailing #newspaper to keep it from failing or being acquired by a for-profit corporation. -- See my old Twitter thread on a few examples:

But I haven't heard of an ailing newspaper being bought by a […]

Migrating a site from Rails to Omeka S and am very excited to learn that with the CleanURL plugin most of our URL's won't change :D

I was really not looking forward to creating that redirects file.

A total beginner might not recognize that quality that makes a creative work really special. They might even think AI output has "it". And by using AI, you're able to skip that really, really uncomfortable part of work where everything you do kinda sucks, because instead everything is kinda […]

I have been thinking about this Ira Glass quote a lot in relation to AI

"All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not […]

I just love scheduling emails for Monday on a Friday. It lets me feel like I have taken a step towards a project without having to immediately think about what comes after that.

Added "in case I get raptured" to my list of alternatives to "in case I get hit by a bus"
