"Fools Rushing In", by... me! Played by people I don't know!! In South Africa?!?

These four are all way better at guitar than I am. They sound stupendous. Hope that Dillon Davies (on the right) posts the whole thing on YouTube so I can show off the whole thing!

My thumbs have recovered enough (from neuropathy) that I was able to use chopsticks to eat sushi for the first time in almost a year! The recovery is slow, but it's real.

So far so good, signatera test days negative for tumor DNA, which means it's very likely I have no active cancer in my body. There can still be dormant micro-metastases, so I'm doing an adjuvant therapy to increase my odds of avoiding a recurrence long term (forever?).

Started a new therapy last week. Four months / 12 infusions. But then... never again! Until recurrence which is admittedly likely (but not certain).

Predictably, I don't feel good.

At some point you have to realize that the game is you, making the game.

I've got a new guitar ensemble piece in my head. Been there for a week or so which means I need to get it written out.

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

Surely now is the time to discourage those who agree with you. There's only one correct activism and you know who has perfected it.

If ever there was a candidate for lich king, we've got it here.
On day he will be dead.

That's all I got today.

If there's anything Republicans don't care about it's good government or public health.
Seems like we all agree RFK Jr. cannot be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Final radiation treatment today. After that... NED?

#react and #tailwind devs, how do you deal with your pages looking really different on platforms you don't personally have? My app doesn't render right on some iOS devices or older android.

Life of the party here
I know that "pip pip" is dated and nobody uses it but I really want someone to say it to me in real life so I can reply, "install install"

Today is the first time, since metastasis, that a doctor talked to me about decades instead of years.
January 8, 2025 at 1:40 AM
Tomorrow I go talk to a doc about getting zapped. Excited, anxious it won't end up making a difference.

2025 will be the year of NED for me? Hopefully. Appointment with a radiation oncologist in a week to make a plan to get rid of this trash.

A lot of this going around.
2024 was far and away the worst year of my life, a tough prize to win after 2023 and 2020. I for one say good riddance.

Good riddance to 2024. This was the worst year of my life and I hope it stays that way.

This is an example where traditional docs often fall short, but LLM regurgitation is really useful.

Navigating a new framework where I understand the concepts and what I want to do, but I'm unfamiliar with the jargon and docs, is my LLM super-case.
Playing around in Godot. Problem whenever I try and learn a bit of 3D gamedev is I don't know what the terms are for anything. Just googling 'how to make the thing go big' and not knowing that is handled by the BiggitudeAmplifier
