Just a standard packaged ice cream cone from the convenience store freezer.
Ice cream cones are *so good*. It's magic. I will enjoy the aftertaste for hours.

He tried to persuade me to stay with $EMPLOYER until I get a replacement job. I promised to consider his advice (after all, it is what I have always advised people to do), but I do not think I will change my mind.
He talked about the group that he hired on with, and how half of them left and are now trying to return because they had nothing to keep them active. But I have no illusions about enjoying sitting in a rocking chair or going fishing every day. I already know that even if my financial needs were taken care of, I would still need to be productive. -

We can leave our time right where it is.
My grandson (2, but will be 3 soon) had a meltdown because "it can't be bedtime, it is still daylight". He's not wrong. Just a couple of nights ago, bedtime was after sunset. -

I also like #Quassel. -

He got to meet one of the meteorologists from https://www.ky3.com/weather/ and to talk to an employee of NOAA / NWS, who had a little vortex machine for kids to see and touch. He also got to see another station's "storm tracker" vehicle.
Kudos to KY3's weatherman, who gave #GS3 and #GS4 his full attention and talked with them like they mattered. I am new in the Springfield area, but it is really cool to see. -

Both were glad for me.
Mark and his wife have a baby, so he is also looking to escape the travelling life. S has some conflicts at home along with the issues that come with the job, so she's attempting to change both at once.
I have not yet spoken with K or Kenny or Steve or Carlos or ... . I will probably just send a goodbye e-mail blast to most of my co-workers.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

β² @clacke@libranet.de: Manager: I'm trying to set up my phone so I can receive work emails. Did you get it to work?
Me: Never even crossed my mind to try.
Mgr: Why?

After enough thinking it's a five-line email and a proposed minimal change in the application. Without the thinking it would have been a huge change.
The best code to maintain is the code that never got written. I am happy with my workday and will go home a few minutes early.
It's a boulder off my back and I am sighing of relief.

Now that I'm here in #MO, I intend to stay.
Since I'm rearranging my life, I'll be quitting $EMPLOYER pretty quickly. I had intended to wait until I have a replacement, but I think it is better to change everything at once and walk away now.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -
Tobias (tobias@social.diekershoff.de)'s status on Saturday, 02-Mar-2024 02:07:54 EST Tobias I had a nice evening yesterday at the offline at the KDE Plasma 6 release party https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/. Guess the most important thing is, that the cube and wobbly windows are back π₯°
https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/cube.webm
Not that I really used it in the past, but I remember having it active during some Linux presentations and it was always an eye-catcher to have to show off the capabilities of this other OS that is for free and runs on old hardware.
Thanks for the invitation @KDE Eco #FreeSorftware #FLOSS #KDE #KDEPlasma #berlin @offline
