moving is so surreal.
got a job. moving soon. its been real.
Last thought before bed:
The fact that you can't easily transfer identity between instances means _you have a stake in your community_. If you get kicked out, that has real cost - you lose your followers.
That means picking an instance requires care and commitment. I want to see how, as this thing grows, instances can develop individual flavor and values. I see this working really well.
Free thinkpiece: "Mastodon is hostile to brands and that's why its users love it"
wait, awoo is overloaded now? the fuck is going on? am I gonna have to run my own instance?
is there any way for me to port my mastodon stuff between instances? that would be nice.
I emailed them back to ask for clarification on this point.
I am hoping that doesn't disqualify me, but I have had too many times when I took assignment texts too literally, and the teacher got angry at me for missing the intent and either doing too much or too little work.
got a coding quiz for a job that requires me to write a calculator that supports longs and doubles simultaneously.
I don't think they want me to write a 65bit floating point representation, nor a math lib that supports that (since it is meant to take 20mins to 2 hours).
So I am left thinking it is either a typo (and they just want doubles used internally), or they want the calculator to check if the result moves from int to decimal, and switch the internal representation at that point :/
dream interpretation is like just 'yeah, isn't this fuckin obvious to you?'
had that classic dream that I was falling, but I was tied to some kind of rail, so I was only slightly worried.
I fell for an absurdly long time, but eventually pulled out.
but then I had to walk up a really long hill with a very slight grade and it was too much for me and I woke up in a panic.
fuck.
HM, THATS INTERESTING.
mastodon.social is where I now put my vague tweets.
hard to work on anything when you are waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I don't know if I have the energy for this.
life would be a bunch easier if I could see the future.
Are there any evidence based divination systems yet?
is there anywhere in the mastodon interface that explains how the fuck things actually work? I am so confused what marking something as private actually does.

I am enjoying so many things about this look. I think I could pull it off maybe?
OH MY GOODNESS: got a new mobo, and it works! hot shit! now I have somehow managed to lose my windows installer disk that has the windows license key printed on the outside. I think finding that will be the last step!
