I’m San Jose-bound next week! I haven’t been there in many years, so even though it’s a work trip I’m excited to be there again. I’m scoping out coffee shops and told my parents I’d wander over and take a picture of the church where they got married, too.

One thing I have a new appreciation for as I finish my Whole30 month of eating very, very specifically, is good espresso. My go-do drink is a cappuccino, and I’ll certainly come back to those, but I’ve found great pleasure in a well-made espresso this month. I’ve enjoyed improving my home espresso craft along the way, too.

/Now: Really happy with how easy the one-click installation of Let’s Encrypt certificates is with Pair Networks! I have some configs to update to take advantage of it, and it’s amazing that this will take longer than actually enabling SSL. 🔐!

Snow day here! Six inches or so of lovely powder overnight and continuing this morning. Alas, I still have to work today.

Taking a walk on a very windy lunchtime.

I keep meaning to post a photo of breakfast at my favorite local joint, the Tourist Home. So, here you go.

Me: plays for many hours I’ve accumulated a good amount of resources and equipment. I had best continue conservatively, not buying more than the absolute necessities so that I can min-max my stats and capabilities for upcoming situations.

My kid: Dad I used all our bomb arrows and bought endurance rings with all the spirit orbs. Also I spent most of our rupees for lots of armor and dyed it all blue because it looks so cool and now I look like the blue ninja!

This is good for me.

I’m very not impressed by the font scaling on this new work-issued (Win) laptop. This is Not Good.

Posting via Micropub means I can post from mobile, too!

Thanks to @dgold’s nanopub I am now able to post to the site via micropub clients (more or less — a few loose and rough ends to sort out)! This is quite cool.
