#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.

I cannot keep up with the amount of new music coming out.

Can’t wait till I feel safe enough to go to Storm Crow here in TO.

Defund the police.

Black lives matter.

What day is it?

"A few bad apples"

Finish it...

"A few bad apples ruin the bunch."

I know several law-enforcement officers and none of them have spoken up, except to support themselves. None have done anything to correct/stop the "few bad apples". They are complicit, ruined.

I'll be perfectly clear.

Black lives matter.

The entire law-enforcement machine needs to be completely overhauled. They have shown themselves unfit to "server & protect" because they're only serving & protecting themselves, while indiscriminately hurting & killing others.

I was today years old when I found out why I liked Rihanna’s “Shut Up and Drive” as much as I do. It was co-written with members of New Order.

Music I’ve really enjoyed lately. Not in any particular order. The first in the list is so new and only gotten 2 listens, but begs for more.

- Fiona Apple’s Fetch the Bolt Cutters
- Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia
- Dorian Elektra’s Flamboyant (I’m late to the party on this one)
- Ladytron’s almost entire back catalogue

Yikes. Cleaned off like 700 MB of orphaned attachments.

Well, here we are.

‪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.
