On this day
Posts on and around this day (Mar 11):- 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.

- 2024-03-09 / I’ve been hearing great horned owl hoots pre-dawn lately, and last night we heard them as the sun went behind the ridge. Out the window, we saw this fine beauty perched and calling out.
- 2022-03-11 / Every time I see a “workers need to be back in the office” take, I’m going to reply with this photo of a fresh homemade scone covered in homemade clotted cream, sitting beside my keyboard while I work in the morning sunlight streaming through my window.
- 2022-03-10 / I: Spend days carefully curating config files, reinstalling homebrew and trying variations of arm and x86 binaries RStudio: Do you even ODBC, bro? I: Just profanely put the path to the driver in the dbConnect call, disregarding all documentation and common sense. RStudio: Yah here’s your SQL Server.

- 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

- 2018-03-12 / 📚I finished The Power by Naomi Alderman last night. It’s evocative and unsettling, poses some good questions about power and gender and violence; it maybe doesn’t quite earn its conclusion but is definitely a good read.
- 2018-03-11 / Trinity Episcopal is the church where my mom sang in the choir, my grandfather did the books, and where my parents were married 50 years ago this summer. I was able to walk by and see it on my San Jose trip last week. It had been a long time since.
