Really great ride this morning to start my Sunday. It’s a busy week: I’m remotely attending Posit::conf in addition to the pile of regular things going on, and I’m enjoying watching enthusiastic attendees join the conference discord and say hello.
Figure I’ll get Ventura installed today. I think I’ve been holding off – for nearly a year – because I’ve been concerned it would break something in brew.
I chanced across this old post about how my kid played Breath of the Wild, recently. Well, they’re keeping up that style: they started playing Elden Ring last week, and beat the game today. One week! I’m months into that game and nowhere near finishing it. All this, after starting Tears of the Kingdom weeks after I did, totally bogarting my Switch and beating the game after profoundly breaking all its mechanics to their will.
I haven’t posted one of these for a while. I enjoyed this morning’s indoor ride. It’s nice to be back on the “good” bike after being away for much of the summer.
I’m practicing some R package development today, in service of simplifying my D2Rstats tools (github.com/ats/D2Rstats). {usethis} is such a great help at learning and doing this, and I’m also cribbing from Karl Broman’s nice tutorial (kbroman.org/AdvData/18_rpack_d)
We had another nice Ogden valley sunset, last night. It’s been hot here, and back in Flagstaff, too, but monsoon rains are forecast to cool down both of these hometowns this week.
I haven’t done a proper bike-bike ride for a while so I made sure to get one in while I’m home this week. I’m practicing not blowing up to my high HR zones quite as quickly as I tend to – not too bad on this one.
I have missed this pizza, the Amore oi Mari from pizzicleta.
