On this day
Posts on and around this day (Mar 5):- 2025-03-08 / I am so looking forward to this game: Cairn is a realistic-ish climbing game with a layer of survival and resource management mechanics, and it feels really good to play, right down to the calming breath from a bomber hold to the Elvis-leg twitching you get from holding too long on a sketchy, fatigued toe edge. After a hard pitch, you can roll out your little bivvy sack, cook some instant noodles with your ultralight stove, and sleep with a view of the stars.

- 2024-03-02 / Last week, Textpattern turned twenty years old. Funny how many memories that brings back.
- 2023-03-05 / The launch of the new Destiny 2 expansion, Nightfall, adds a new subclass – Strand – and restructures the mod system that affects player stats gained from armor. I’m happy to report that it only took me a couple of hours to revise my Shiny tool to find optimal armor loadouts using the new mods and subclass fragments! I had to hunt a little through some old code, and next time it should be a simple and easy update due to having fixed how I work with the manifest.
- 2022-03-08 / Severance has some amazing Oldest House vibes going on. I’m eagerly awaiting the appearance of Hiss.
- 2022-03-08 / Dearest Ada, it has been two days since I began editing odbcinst.ini, and still SQL Server repels me. Tomorrow, we will sudo brew reinstall FreeTDS. With our persistence, someday, odbc::odbcListDrivers() shall yield results and I will be at peace. /wistful violins

- 2021-03-08 / Loop Hero is really great, friends. 🎮
- 2021-03-06 / 🎮 XBox friends: Dungeon of the Endless is a fun and interesting tower defense sci-fi dungeon crawler studded with neat mechanics and writing, and it’s on Game Pass now. Recommended!👍
- 2021-03-05 / TIL: The very cool cloud music sync service Soundiiz is now synchronizing with the very cool independent music store Bandcamp. 👍
- 2021-03-04 / I’m just a simple country sociologist, but this fawning pro-NFT article seems quantitatively unsteady with assertions like “assume you instantly zero out 50% commission to double your revenue,” and “just slice your art infinitely to capture more revenue under the demand curve.”
- 2021-03-03 / Out for a morning walk with the pup.
- 2020-03-06 / Crap. I got new speakers and amplifier, and now I’m one of those insufferable guys who can tell the difference between mp3 and FLAC. 🎶 DON’T SAY OGG VORBIS
- 2020-03-04 / What do you mean there’s not gonna be a third season of Counterpart?? 📺
- 2020-03-04 / Home sick, watching Counterpart and tooling around with the Roon API. Precariously close to deciding to make a lo-fi now playing display from a Raspberry Pi.
- 2020-03-01 / Is today the day I finally finish Outer Wilds? Time-loops will tell! 🎮
- 2020-03-01 / Double vision, after a winter storm. #mbfeb 30! (I know, I know, it’s March now.) 📷
- 2019-03-08 / Lovely orange and pink sunrise on the horizon while hail comes down in buckets at my house is pretty classic lousy Smarch weather for Flagstaff.
- 2018-03-08 / Stopping for a coffee at Social Policy. John Prine’s on the stereo am I’m taking it as a good sign for the day. [photo]
- 2018-03-07 / Can’t leave the coffee shop if Tom Petty’s “American Girl” just came on the stereo, right? It’s a bylaw?
- 2018-03-07 / BRB, learning stuff at #StrataData.
- 2018-03-05 / Do you know the way to San Jos—never mind, found it.
- 2018-03-05 / On the tarmac at FLG.
- 2018-03-05 / I’m packed, more or less, and enjoying a coffee by the fireplace, just about ready to head to the airport. I love flying out of our little airport — short security line and free parking for the win!
- 2018-03-04 / Waiting on breakfast at the Tourist Home on a blustery morning and making some planning notes for this week’s San Jose trip. It’s wintery here this morning but spring is definitely on the way, as mountain bikes have started to supplant skis on the car racks around town.
- 2018-03-03 / We saw Black Panther today and really enjoyed it! Cast, characters, story: it has lots going on – lots to say – and it does it very well. By contrast, one of the trailers was for Ready Player One, and boy does that trailer just do utterly nothing for me.
- 2018-03-02 / 🎧 I’ve had Brian Fallon’s new album Sleepwalkers on heavy rotation the past week or so, and now I find Billy Rosenbeck’s glowing review. It’s an evocative, thoughtful orientation to what makes Fallon so good. 👍
- 2018-03-02 / I’m San Jose-bound next week! I haven’t been there in many years, so even though it’s a work trip I’m excited to be there again. I’m scoping out coffee shops and told my parents I’d wander over and take a picture of the church where they got married, too.
