This weekend’s adventure was moving my home automation to a new M1 Mac Mini. This machine is impressive.

Happy New Year, fellow photographers. Don’t forget to update your copyright dates!

@777 After all the food I ate last night, I don’t see any muffins. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have come to the conclusion, that I am a robot. #CaptchasSuck

Just spent the last hour or so trying to help one of my team members submit a timesheet. Apparently, an overzealous administrator updated the timesheet and submitted but it was wrong. While the team member was correcting it, the administrator kept making changes. We spend so much time tracking time. 2020 isn't over yet.

4 more days until I have to get back to work and I’m already not looking forward to it.

We pre-ordered NYE dinner from a local restaurant we’ve wanted to try for a while. I ordered a smoked duck breast. I just got an email from the restaurant saying, “The fuck didn’t come in today, may I interest you in something else?” Best autocorrect fail ever. Appropriate, too, since I have zero fucks left to give about 2020.

If I even briefly entertained the idea of not having a cocktail tonight, a quick glance at the news convinced me otherwise.

Trying to decide if the base alcohol for tonight's cocktail should be rye, gin, tequila, or vodka. Should I start a poll? #cocktails

@robots Good point. I have enough ways to dive deep into topics. I think you answered my question about whether I was overthinking things. 😉

Just remember, next year is pronounced twenty twenty won. 😩

Anyone out there familiar with surround sound codes, Apple TV 4K, and NAD receivers? I'd love some advice on confirming my set up. (And, I'm bored, so it's time to play with configuration screens.) #nerd

@robots Thanks. That's helpful. I think the one thing I'd be missing is more in depth discussions on specific topics. For example, I like infosec.exchange for cybersecurity info. If I watch the local timeline there, I get more on the topic than I would see on my 'main' instance. Perhaps, I should just pop into niche instances from time to time for specific topics and follow accounts on my 'main' instance?

@kr1s000 Well, you're on the #Fediverse, so what does that say? ;) I'm going to dig around a bit and see what I can find. The price is right.

Now that I'm getting back into Mastodon, what are the best client apps for iOS and Mac?

Still trying to decide how I want to navigate the fediverse. I'm thinking I use one instance as home and follow from there, but join other instances of interest to find new people to follow. That will let me have a consolidated home feed, but I would miss some conversations on other instances I belong to unless I monitor them regularly. Am I overthinking this?
