#Introductions

I’m an IT guy, specializing in #DNS & #DHCP.
I‘ve been building a hate-group #DNSBL, based upon the SPLC’s list. For #BIND & #pihole.

I like #fountainpens. Introduced to them in school & loved them since. I went for years w/o using them until my wife & I decided to buy 1 for 1 another.

I like #analog & #digital #photography. I ❤️ toy 📷.

Also interested in #biology, #astronomy, #cycling. I’ve ridden my bike for charity in #aidslifcycle, the #av200, & the #RTCC #TheRideTO.

‪Broke down and bought a training skewer for my bike. It won’t be here until the end of the month. But if we’re going to be sheltering in place for several months, I’m gonna need it. ‬

It would be nice if the street outside would dry. Kids are chomping at the bit to ride their bikes. It's only +5º outside you say? They don't care.

This would never have happened back in Atlanta... It's what? +15º? Sorry, too cold. So far, due to the need for social distancing, we've been out almost every day—including when it's been 0º. The streets are practically empty, so it's easy to keep 2m away from others.

@chigh but I need more social contact. I have been overloaded with stress.

Thinking of setting up a Discord and Netflix Party Then having some running Tv on while working tomorrow for some background noise and chat. Unfortunately, the “party” and the hat aren’t contiguous, so setting up a discord for that part and posting links to the individual “parties” seems like that would work better.

I’m probably over-thinking it.

Finally. "It's Miller time."

I'm having a difficult time focusing on more than a single thing at a time.

When I'm working, usually I want to have two things going, but no more than that.

Yeah, not happening.

And how have I missed that Download has had 9 more albums??

Now, why did I not like Dorian Electra's album when I first heard it? I remember listening to the first track or two and then turning it off thinking "nah". However, upon listening again, my opinion is quite the opposite.

I must be getting old or something.

Yikes, 8yo asked tough questions about this pandemic.

I have been managing my stress fairly well, but with the latest from the President and other RWers, it’s cracking. I’m worried for everyone.

I pay money to run this instance. I should really use it more often. I keep going back to Tw because I have so many more connections there of people I really wish to keep up with.

I know it can be done. I've all but eliminated my FB account. I login for 5 minutes every other day or so just long enough to check notifications and a couple of groups.

Part Ⅲ was uneventful, but not the last part. Should fill it next week and check the bone health in 6 months.

6yo thought it would be funny to use play doh patterns on our faces.

Part 2 was much easier than part 1. If possible, I’d rather not have to go through that again.

The best thing about Novocain shots is I can’t feel my face.

Today, 6yo didn’t want to go to school.

6yo: Do you wanna know why?

J: yes, why?

6yo: Because it takes my WHOLE day!

I see no lie.

I’ve been thinking about this since we moved, but I have nothing to look forward to in moving back to the States. Yes, my family and friends are there, but if the US continues down its current path without a significant correction, nope. It might be a little more difficult financially here, We certainly like it.

Yesterday, my wife, who hasn’t said anything up to this point even discussed trying to obtain citizenship.
