Just threw on Agent Porridge, an upstate NY jam band from back in the day. Trying to be better hitting my old CDs/mp3's (before this was a jazz album I forgot I had).

Nice to see at some point MS fixed the UI so I can actually read the missing index recommendation from the query analyzer. Most of the UI changes I've liked, but that bug/design choice was infuriating.

I don't mind cold (so long as I have proper clothing), but cold + wind really blows. ha. ha. ha. But seriously, thought of going for a nice stroll but windchill is 8F.

Finally spending some vacation time on coding a side project and realizing my previous work-in-progress is older than I thought: upgrading to Postgresql 14 (which is now just one step above out of support). Need to schedule more consistent PTO.

Mental note: review holiday beers as they can be strong (and not necessarily taste like it). Glad I checked one that was gifted, as it's 11%! Reminds me I need to be on the lookout for barleywine-style beer, as they tend to be around that (and I haven't seen one in years).

Finally picked up a new phone, but youtube music doesn't do anything when I tell it to download an album. Worked fine on old phone and found a reddit thread that makes it look like an issue for ~5 years. Good times.

Looks like the Mets signed another former Yankee (Weaver, a reliever). Already saw one joke posted about the Yankees being the Mets farm team, and got a nice chuckle.

Was wondering if my apple cider had somehow spoiled quickly, as it had an off taste. Finally looked more closely at the label and realized I accidentally bought "apple pie" flavored cider. Which... oof. Do not recommend. Had a weird off flavor that reminded me of maple syrup somehow?

Whelp, can't say I'm shocked that Pete signed elsewhere (Orioles for 5 years/$155m). Mets will definitely look/feel different next year regardless of the moves they make. I'm assuming not "rebuilding mode" since we're paying 2 stars in their prime a ton. "Re-arming" as a more hopeful view.

Me: this random song is really good. Who is it? (Duke Ellington + Coltrane). oh. yeah, that tracks.

Bummer, just lost family bragging rights. Geneseo just fell in the NCAA d3 soccer tourney to Middlebury. A bit crazy last 10 minutes, so that was fun.

Looking forward to the official 1.0 release for Timberborn, but so far looks like some of the new buildings/mechanics have some teething issues on the experimental build. And yes, that's a beaver pun.

Weird how it can feel colder inside when the wind outside is loud and gusty. A metaphor for something, I'm sure.

Finally cancelled Prime last week, and then today they effectively cancelled New World. Can't get further away from this company, toxic from the top down.

I guess the good and bad of a long-awaited New World update + announcement that it's now "free" for people who already paid for the original game (no longer need to buy the expansion) is that a lot of folks want to play so it doesn't look like I'll be able to sign in the game tonight.

Ziplines and tubeways in Timberborn are just so satisfying once they're setup. Ziplines a bit more fun in having flexible and changeable layouts, tubeways with the advantage of building through them. Really curious what next release will bring. 400+ hours and still pre-release, ha.

Was thinking of switching to an iphone, but just tried to sign in to my account and it's locked for no apparent reason and need to jump through hoops. Reminds me of why I didn't early on; security theatre for doing anything.

Ah, the good and bad news of them replacing the corner sidewalk 20 feet from my house. It'll be nice when it's done, but today they're ripping up the old concrete and... it's loud.

Ah, internet comments. One person lambasted me and misread what I wrote (to put it nicely). Another person gave a thoughtful comment that clarified what I was saying and was actually useful. I mean, 50/50 is actually pretty good so I'm not complaining. Too much.

Bad enough work machine has been flaky; go to Photoshop on my rig to process some family photos and it keeps locking up. At some point I'll be productive this week. Garden seems to be doing okay, at least.

Made the mistake of reading the comments on an article about the Mets recent/ongoing slide. The line about Mos Eisley in Star Wars came to mind.

Sometimes you get the opposite of a "this meeting could have been an email" and instead you get "this email is going to turn into many meetings" and I kinda hate the person who egged everyone on.
