Last post of the year before I head upstairs to celebrate with the family. Happy New Year! (I'm also quite sleepy and will probably go to bed soon after.)

Trying out Orion today. Seems decent so far. The Safari import workflow is pretty nice. Password import was more of a stumbling block than I realized, but it walked me through the CSV export and deleted it for me once the import was completed.

🍏 DEC 31 2024 07:47

Just ordered a cheap Metal compatible used Nvidia GT-630 off eBay so that I can finally upgrade my ancient Mac Pro to something beyond High Sierra.

🏀 DEC 30 2024 21:50

Much better outcome for the GU women tonight vs. Pepperdine as they notched a 20-point win. Took Nathan and Houston tonight rather than the girls.

🗓 DEC 30 2024 21:48

Found my missing Twitter archive from November 2022 while doing some document cleanup on my old MacPro. Also did a DayOne export since I have a bunch of entries from 2010 to 2019 that are worth putting in the blog at some point.

🏃 DEC 30 2024 15:36

Good run with the girls this afternoon. We've reduced our average run time since summer but still did better in December than we did in November.

🌐 DEC 30 2024 15:34

I'm intrigued by the Orion browser from Kagi after listening to Gruber's recent podcast with the Kagi CEO. Having built-in Keychain and ad-blocker support is a huge win. It's pretty cool that it works back to Mojave as well.

Looks like we're getting two pups now!🤷🏻‍♂️ The family was split on the two pups and we're getting a deal.

🗓 DEC 29 2024 14:07

Discovered that I have a lot more media posts in January and February than I had realized. Doubt that I'm going to be able to break those out into individual media posts before 2025 is here.

Taking the kids to meet the litter of Australian Shepherd pups we're going to be picking one from. We've narrowed it down to four out of the nine but need to get their input.

🏀 DEC 28 2024 09:09 Looking forward to taking the girls to a Gonzaga women's game today.

🗓 DEC 28 2024 09:08

Haven't worked on my 2024 media entries in a while so getting back to those today. It's completely arbitrary, but I'd like to wrap up importing 2024 entries before the year ends.

📚 DEC 28 2024 07:53

My mom gave me a copy of James by Percival Everett for Christmas yesterday, and I'm already 80 pages in because it's a banger retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from Jim's perspective.

🎧 DEC 27 2024 19:20

Spent part of tonight watching the game with my 3M headphones on so my son could practice his drums. I'm genuinely happy that he practices them all the time even though even though it gets pretty loud.

🏈 DEC 27 2024 17:51

WSU 21-14 after they block a punt and return it for the go ahead touchdown!

🏈 DEC 27 2024 17:48

WSU 14 - 14 Syracuse A real shoot-out so far! Got to say I'm encouraged by what I'm seeing from the Cougs so far!

🎄 DEC 27 2024 17:25

The family and I had a nice post-Christmas roast beef dinner with my mom this afternoon and opened a few more gifts from her. Driving home at around 4:15 pm it was actually still light out!

☁️ DEC 27 2024 09:24

Gloomy late December day today, but no real precipitation.

🧰 DEC 27 2024 09:12

Ghostty 1.0 finally came out in the last couple days. I installed it, but haven't delved into it too deeply yet.

🧙‍♂ DEC 27 2024 09:06

Had a green Daily quest so I played some Standard Elves in the Play queue. It went fine other than one Sunfall blowout against mono-white control (I would have won the next turn) and I picked up a couple wins.

🚗 DEC 26 2024 18:11

I think we've finally got my daughter's car insurance sorted out. Just need to get the okay from her before we adjust the policy.

🌬️ DEC 26 2024 16:34

Windy but clear and warm for the next 24 hours or so, so hopefully the girls and I can get in a run tomorrow.

👾 DEC 26 2024 16:32

It's crazy to me how big the Twine application on Mac is though, something like 500MB! 300MB is the Electron Framework executable, but it appears to me that there are some significant redundancies in language localization Resources.

👾 DEC 26 2024 16:25

VS Code has some good Twee support now too thanks to a couple different extensions- I chose the newer one by Stephen Granade.

👾 DEC 26 2024 10:52

The latest Docker release has a bunch of Twine integration support. I'm going to have to play with this over my break.

👞 DEC 26 2024 10:48

Working on breaking in the Doc Marten's I got for Christmas. They're great, but I'm going to need to wear thick socks with them for a while.

🎄 DEC 26 2024 09:09

Time to work on having a productive Boxing Day and forget about another disappointing loss for Spurs as they fall to Nottingham Forest 1 - 0.

⚽️ DEC 26 2024 08:09

Not loving what I'm seen so far in the second half. Seems like more of the same from the first half and that was simply not enough.

⚽️ DEC 26 2024 07:25

Like what I'm seeing from Spurs in the final third so far even if they're not quite sharp enough to break through the defense yet.

⚽️ DEC 26 2024 07:15

Dragged myself out of bed to watch Spurs play at Forest this morning. Still knotted at 0-0 right now 15 minutes in.

🎄 DEC 25 2024 16:57

Had an excellent Christmas Day breakfast at the in-laws after mass. We kind of got fed up with the ultra-popular Christmas Eve services (when the Christmas-Easter crowd comes out in force) in 2019 just before the pandemic and have been going to Christmas Day mass instead ever since.

🎄 DEC 24 2024 21:48

Mary really outdid herself tonight with our annual Christmas Eve chowder (clam and salmon) feed as well as a dual 50th birthday party for her sister and brother-in-law, who have December birthdays.

📺 DEC 24 2024 09:15

Watched a lot of Christmas-themed Netflix last night. It was nice.

🌧️ DEC 24 2024 09:13

So much rain overnight, it was really pouring about 5am. This would be so much snow under the typical Spokane December temperatures of my childhood.

🧙‍♂ DEC 24 2024 09:12

Knocked out my dailies pretty quickly this morning, but I've got other Christmas Eve preparation tasks to attend to now.

🚗 DEC 23 2024 16:29

Knocked out the title and licensing for my daughter's car surprisingly quickly this afternoon because she lives a couple of blocks from the office and they weren't busy. Tomorrow we'll see if we can sort out her insurance as she'll be moving off our policy and onto her own.

🎄🎧 DEC 23 2024 07:53

Realized the Electronic Christmas playlist Spotify came up with for me has three different covers of Last Christmas and that kind of made my day.

🎄 DEC 23 2024 07:46

Christmas Week is underway and I still have a variety of stuff that I need to take care of. Licensing and insurance for my daughter's new (to her) car are today's priorities.

🗓 DEC 22 2024 14:12

Very close to wrapping up all my 2024 tv and movie posts on the blog.

🏃 DEC 22 2024 14:09

Good short run with the girls this afternoon. Figured out a way to get the youngest (who has been lagging recently) to keep up with the rest of us. It's purely a concentration/mentality issue, she has the most natural running talent of any of us.

🎄DEC 22 2024 14:04

It's that time of year (life?) when I'm on vacation and I have scheduled stuff to do every single day.

⚽️ DEC 22 2024 10:09

Still watching the Spurs game despite the frustrating Liverpool dominance.
