testing again

just for the heck of it

Testing some things.

Wonder if this indents?

Finally got fed up being suckered into clicking on another interesting-sounding-but-ultimately-vacuous Medium tech article. Everybody looks like an expert on Medium, whoohaa.

Finally invested the time to “Unsubscribe All”.

My school at GT just sent out a survey to the faculty to gather information to update their website. Included a “preferred pronouns” question, and I admit this made me very happy.

It’s nice to see progress on some fronts in these regressive times.

The “best” part of getting a dozen copies of the same phishing email is that it’s really obvious something is amiss …  🙄

I now have 3 monitors and four computers on my downstairs gaming+VR setup. So many-much glowing screens!

Got the Vive set up again, finally tried Audica. Love it!

Audica >> Beat Saber

Well that sucked. Crappy last maps, Atlanta totally crumbled.

Caster needs to lose the bolo tie. This ain’t a rodeo

Wow, Boston turned that around. On to map 5.

I’m thinking perhaps #LetItRoll instead of #LetItReign? It’s a mauling … Boston is scrod

Some solid play from ATL #LetItReign

Nice first round for @KING_BABYBAY for the @ATLReign #LetItReign

You know that you’re doing the work at home thing wrong when you find yourself thinking “now that all my video meetings are done for the day, I can finally shower and get out of my PJs” … or, perhaps I’m doing it right? I dunno.

Time for lunch, either way.

Oh FFS, now we can even trust “premiere technical institutions” with top tier cybersecurity degrees and research groups?

I hate latex, especially the default behavior that hyphenates like a toddler. Adding this lowered the taste of bile in my throat, that I get when I have to use it, significantly.

Every N years I replace an appliance. Today, I spent my time buying and installing a new over-the-stove microwave.

Have to take an annual “Integrity and Compliance” (ethics) training course at GT. It isn’t loading, and the resulting web page is amusingly ironic for a premiere technical research university. (Note: still stuck, in the time it took me to create and post this gif)

“It’s a tale of exceptional incompetence”. I’ll just leave this here, completely unexplained.

I really do love coming to Japan. Just sayin.

I’m really happy airlines are starting to offer these new “premium select” (as Delta calls them) seats on long flights. I don’t need the First Class experience, but having a bit more space sure makes a huge difference.

Boy, there sure are a lot of stereotypical “ugly Americans” on this flight (and I say that as an American). Cranky, rude, self righteous …. wow. Sad. 🙄

Heading back home from VR2019 in Osaka, via Tokyo. Used a few spare hours to wander the shops in Akihabara en route to the airport.

Wish I could spend more time in Japan, but looking forward to seeing the family!

A panel I’m at is using slido for questions. I’m finding it hard not to treat it as a competition. “Vote for my question!”
