5:01am. Should prepare to head out to work rn.

Major social media still throttled in Jakarta. I've no direct experience at other regions of Indonesia though so I can't report on other places.

Having better luck using 1.1.1.1 DNS than using SimpleDNScrypt.

(I think.)

I would bet at least 20 bucks that this *does not* always work.

...But is it worth a try? Oh definitely I'd say.

Last week I did not expect to already be employed by today. I need to keep reminding myself that I'm feeling grateful. Feels weird.

By most statistical predictions I will at the very least hold this job for at least a year, most likely. I am laser-focused on making that prediction true. Maybe even surpass it.

Open NIC is an interesting, and maybe even exciting, concept. I'll at least admit as much.

Sweet dreams are made of these,
who am I to disagree.
I travel the world and the seven seas,
everybody's looking for something.

Some of them want to use you,
some of them want to be used by you.
Some of them want to abuse you,
some of them want to be abused by you.

7:29pm.

I did not expect to get a new job today.

But I did. Today. And it's Monday to Saturday. And it's raining right now.

Now don't get me wrong I'm grateful.

Still tho.

"I wrote the book on user-friendly design. What I see today horrifies me" by Don Norman https://www.fastcompany.com/90338379/i-wrote-the-book-on-user-friendly-design-what-i-see-today-horrifies-me

"Despite our increasing numbers the world seems to be designed against the elderly. Everyday household goods require knives and pliers to open. Containers with screw tops require more strength than my wife or I can muster. (We solve this by using a plumber’s wrench to turn the caps.)"

Another cool thing the YouTube recommendation algorithm had been insistent on making me watch for the past few days (and was finally successful tonight): an imo very cool & very well done & well-produced reimagining of the final lightsaber fight between Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi:

I guess I kinda wish I can remember how to get addicted to drawing again... and/or recording music... writing short sf stories... all in private of course, at least until I can become passably tolerable again...

Fairness is hard. Too many moving parts.

I sense aggression. But you know what? Whatever. *mute*

Hm, I think I just slept for pretty much exactly 6 hours...

(That I opened social media almost immediately after I woke up might not be very encouraging nor healthy, but regardless here it is,)
