Pinellas County - Long Run: 10.19 miles, 00:09:43 average pace, 01:39:03 duration
practicing 3 minutes running and one minute walking. not only for the knee but also for the PTC (~46.6 miles) coming in about 17 weeks. the knee actually hurt a little the first 5 miles but afterwards nothing. not sure if i finally found my stride but it felt great once the dull pain was gone.

My first week with a safety razor 🪒

The river was frozen for a few weeks this winter (somehow I even saw folks ice fishing at one point) but melted away again pretty fast. NOAA is saying now it’s probably not going to freeze again this year. Wow.

Status 2024-01-29
Friday is my day off from work, as usual. So when I’m typing this I’m
in front of the hackstation (not a battlestation, obviously) with my
third cup of coffee, writing an update again.
I’ve been doing these status updates on my Gemini log, but I’m
increasingly aware of the dropping amounts of traffic, so I’m thinking
about doing them on the blog instead, but see below for some thoughts
on Gemini.

Muscles are made in the kitchen
This Christmas, I got a cool gift – a door pull-up bar. I wanted it because I do (Freeletics) workouts two or three times per week without any equipment (except some resistance bands I got a while ago), and I thought pull-ups would add some variety. Plus, I heard they’re good for working out different muscles like the back, arms, and grip. ⌘ Read more

** New year **
The last weeks of 2023 have been very enjoyable. Other than having to deal with a cascade of car issues, there’s been a lot of time to hang out with the partner and kids, wander around outside, and poke at fun personal projects…and I mean, work, too, but…you know.
The other evening I pulled together a fun Markov chain toy. It isn’t anything fancy, but I wanted the ability to feed a madlib style script to the program and have it use that as a template to fill in. The resulting program is beak and … ⌘ Read more

MC in the US: OSFC, SF, Seattle, Microsoft
I attended the Open Source Firmware Conference (OSFC) on Oct 10-12 in
Sunnyvale, spent a long weekend in San Francisco, took a very long
train ride to Seattle, spent a week in the Seattle area, and held an
intimate talk at Microsoft. Managed to meet friends, drink some nice
beverages, and even see a show but came home with a heavy heart. Then
tried to relax in the cottage.
