Good god I’m yearning for the days where playing a game consisted of inserting a cartridge, and turning the console on. Been fighting tech for 90 minutes to play a game with my son. It’s ridiculous. Turn on switch, open Minecraft
Attempt to connect Switch to PC
Switch needs authenticated
Authentication fails because my IP changes every other week
Validate authentication
Switch freezes, forcing me to start over
Try again
Switch gives vague error message and cannot connect

The chasm between the nomad who chose this life vs the one to whom this was forced upon is so, so disheartening. The difference between me and a homeless person is small, but I’m celebrated while they’re stigmatized all because I happen to have a source of income.

It’s bullshit.

I (finally) got around to setting up a local development environment using Docker and Composer. It’s built as-if you’re going to use Underpin, and since it uses Composer, you can actually add _all_ of the plugins that the site needs in VCS.

I’ve finally gotten a decent grasp on Docker and now I’m drunk with power.

ALEX THIS DOES NOT NEED REFACTORED LEAVE IT ALONE.

Me: “Why is this chicken so good?!?”

Kate: “It’s pork, babe”

Well, that explains it.

My cat has suddenly started stealing clean socks from my son’s closet. He just sort-of carries them around in his mouth. Cats are weird.

My dog’s name is Phoebe. I was about to type the command “cd” in my command prompt as she barked. I reflexively said “cd, quiet.”

Sometimes I have an office. Sometimes I have a kitchen. Usually it’s both.
