@CarlCravens I'd forgotten about chasing goalposts. :)

One thing that I need to get better about is the whole idea in Getting Things Done about the read and review pile, specifically the part about "if it falls over, throw it out".

I don't tend to have a physical read and review pile, so figuring out when the "if it falls over" piece is a bit trickier. I have some scripts that I use for determining the age of something (which I usually limit to 14 days) but I've also tricked that by using `touch` on those files in the past.

I'm having a bit of trouble with the Konmari method for books, partly because I don't tend to suffer books that I don't like. Maybe I can go through and clean up the digital books that I have. Stuff that I got as part of some deal that can have their magnetic patterns used for something else.

I did clean up some archived versions of older books though. That was a bit liberating.

@bobstechsite This.

(Though I'm coming at it from the "I was on the great ship Atari, saluting from the stern as the ship slowly sank into the sea after taking on water from Nintendo's guns and wake).

@sean The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck is a complete and utter gem.

Just did the first round of cleaning up my clothes. Goodness, I have a lot of conference T-shirts.

Wondering of someone out there would be willing to make one of those memory quilts for me?

@decentral1se Thank you. At this point I'm not using any form of orchestration. I'm still in the "my machines are pets" stage, though I'm hoping that Ansible makes me more confident in upgrading and maintaining them.

I've been working off-and-on about getting my linode instances managed via ansible and I'm almost to the point where I can run the scripts and not freak out.

Wondering if sysadmin ever gets to the point where you are confident.

#ansible #sysadmin

@MadcapJake This was on a desktop machine. Though you're probably right that it's a clue for an on-screen keyboard.

OK, I'm not sure why GMail has an input settings menu like this.

Wouldn't this be handled by the OS?

Or is this something with ChromeOS?

(Note: I'm sure you have lovely opinions about Google, but today is not the day to share them with me. Try my patience at your own peril. Have a nice day.)

@noelle Every generation has their things they have to learn.

Like that The Flintstones was based on The Honeymooners.

@ng0 your hopes have been dashed. This is a Target ad.

There's a sequel to Uno called Dos.

I shit thee not.

@jer_ Well, it's a game site, so I'm assuming their response will be to just sign up for their newsletter. Which is not wrong, but it really is annoying.
