A fucking Bernie Sanders bot texted me last night. It didn't go well - for them.
Exciting Weekend
I am helping my sister move and get settled into their new house. It will be a good weekend.
The Decade Challenge
There’s been a lot of side by side comparison of people from the beginning of the 2010’s, and the now start of the 2020’s. I don’t have pictures, but, I do have a story.

White trash neighbors
Living in South San Jose is pretty great, for the most part. Great house, mostly great neighbors, and amazing weather are all positives. But the negatives come out twice a year. There are several rental properties in our neighborhood, and they are often rented by giant wads of fuck. Case in point: Last night, New Year’s Eve, we knew there would be fireworks. There are always fireworks here...
Looking back on 2019

A couple of months ago, we lined up for our annual flu shot, and this year decided to get the shingles vaccine. Since both of us were from an era before the chicken pox vaccine, we both had it as children.
Website (and host) migration time
The annual shutdown is the perfect time to do website maintenance, and this year is no different. A bigger maintenance window than usual, I needed to move all to a new host droplet
Fucking hell – Redirects
A full day spent moving websites, and one final frustration that was driving me mad, how to redirect a url. It used to work, what was different?
