2020

We are so fucked.

Other apps on my phone I expect to have a “Stories” component before long.

The highs and lows of retail therapy.

High: I bought a new MacBook Air. Lows: It’s not for me.

The most important thing you’ll read today, maybe during this whole pandemic imgur.com/gallery/s9tnKrK

Putting a hard boiled egg on top a salad with chicken in it seems like the ultimate FU to the animal kingdom.

“I’m going to eat you, and your unborn children!”

Keep digging, 2020.

vSphere 7.0 U1 will support a new Monster VM maximum configuration of 24TB of RAM and 768 vCPU.

Honest question: How does one even buy/build a physical server capable of hosting that?

I’m tired of:

When I hear people say that we’re only half way through this, I think they are so far off. I think best case we’re maybe 1/3 the way through. 2021 will mostly be more of the same.

I wish all the content owners would just decide what services their shows and movies will be on, and stick with it.

I’m now (temporarily) subscribed to STARZ so the kids can finish The Land Before time movies the started watching somewhere else. 🙄

I feel like I’m being beat over the head with a baseball bat by my allergies this weekend.

Thanks Mother Nature.

Setting up my own recursive DNS resolvers for my network might have seemed like overkill at the time, but considering how often Cloudflare’s have stopped responding for various reasons in the last month, it seems like the right choice.

Wife: “what do you want to be when you grow up?” 5yo: “I want to work for VMware.” Wife: “I thought you wanted to cure coronavirus?” 5yo: “Yeah that too, I’ll work at VMware and then stop the virus on the weekends.” Me: 😭

Choosing the outcome you want, and then cherry-picking facts to support the position you’ve predetermined, does not constitute a “data drive decision” 🤦‍♂️

Some mornings I need a “Find my Coffee” app on my phone. Gotta have more coffee to be able to remember where I put my coffee. #catch22

Grammatical Nerds: should that be “an f’n joy” or not?

“The Airplane Mode indicator might not reflect the current Airplane Mode status in Settings. (66932775)”

Good thing no one gets on airplanes anymore. developer.apple.com/documentation/…

If Apple doesn’t release updated iOS betas in 25 minutes, I’m going to … I dunno, probably just keep struggling through the current one.

Question totally unrelated to anything going on: if you just come out and announce to people you’re doing something that would otherwise be illegal or unethical, is it still illegal or unethical?

The Apple IIe was the first computer that I ever used. Seeing the launch video is kind of amazing, in some ways Apple’s vocabulary for how they do this hasn’t changed much since 1983. youtu.be/Sif9KHQkDk4

I have a recurring dream where I’m surrounded by folks not wearing a mask, start to get upset, and then I realize that I left mine in the car.

“Our app says we should have 15 by the end of the week.”

Your app says you have 7 right now, your app is a liar.

Cannot get the theme song to Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country out of my head.

Might as well watch the movie.

I’m doing two technical interviews this afternoon for an open TAM role, and we do them via Zoom with video, so I put on a “nice” shirt for the first time in … I’m gonna say March?

What qualifications does one have to have to run for local school board?

Asking for a friend.

It’s August 4. I have the AC turned off and all the windows open. I’m contemplating working from the back deck. 2020 is weird.

How do people who regularly get a lot of interaction on Twitter not go insane with notifications. I had a few more popular threads and such and it’s just a ton of alerts every time I open the app.

Almost wants to drive me back to a third party app to avoid seeing it all.

Next time we land something this important from space off the Florida coast, can the Navy or the Coast Guard be around to blast the idiot onlookers out of the water?

WELCOME BACK TO EARTH, BOB AND DOUG!

“Breaking the Law” has become my 5yo’s new favorite song.

Not sure if I should read anything into this regarding his future, or not. music.apple.com/us/album/break…
