crafting ‘this is what I think the group decided at a mtg you were not at about infrastructure to support your MS DataSci pgm’ memo to my about-to-be part-time boss, & I am reminded that ‘short & sweet’ can be difficult to write sometimes.
Perfect for a #hoot

trying to retrain myself to use mastodon again... I had fallen off using anything but twitter and auto-cross-posting to FB the tweets I originate on twitter. hmm, maybe I can find a way to make that link happen to here

have not been posting on mastodon for a bit, think I'll use this as a place to muse about my journey learning #rustlang as twitter is way to confining for talking about complexity.

Good morning.
@sandro [waves hello] I have been neglecting my Mastodon account lately
my favorite bot-babble so far this week:
BELOVED DEAR
MY HUNGER KEENLY HOPES FOR YOUR FANCY. MY DESIRE ARDENTLY LONGS FOR YOUR LOVEABLE BEING. MY BURNING DEVOTION SIGHS FOR YOUR WISTFUL ENCHANTMENT. YOU ARE MY PASSIONATE ENCHANTMENT, MY SYMPATHETIC YEARNING.
YOURS AFFECTIONATELY,
M.U.C.
#Amaroq for Mastodon v1.1.1 update: On the heels of the last big update, we have some more improvements, fixes, and small additions! Navigation of profiles is now a swipe-able interaction, the last of the annoying modals are gone. There’s a bunch of bug fixes and refinements to multi-instance support, and you can now remove/logout individual instances! Korean, German, and Spanish support are also here! More to come… :3
getting a lot of errors from the Web interface to mastodon.social instance today... poor server must be getting banged on
good/bad news
