Survived. We'll see how I feel in two or three weeks.

Four hours from now I'll be unconscious for the first half of the 2026 spine ablations.
It'll probably be several weeks before the effects become apparent, though. Takes time for muscles to relax/heal.
Still alive, still recovering from last week's gauntlet of appointments.
One funny bit of news: I let myself get talked into entering a semi-local arcade's Street Fighter 2 Turbo tournament. Single elimination, 12 competitors.
Despite being very out of practice, I won. There were some very, very good competitors in there. Somehow I find myself looking forward to challenging them again someday.
While I knew it was Larry King's (very distinctive) voice cameoing in Ghostbusters, I wasn't aware that that was his first-- but definitely not last-- cameo in film and TV. He went on to do a lot more cameos.
Some people just have a very distinctive voice. I'd recognize Larry King (and a number of other TV/radio hosts) instantly.

2026 has been an interesting year so far. There's been a lot of "sprint forward making great progress!" only to faceplant into health-related brick walls so far.
Today is going to be a step towards trying to get past the health issues I can work around; three appointments eating most of my morning and afternoon.
Late Update: Got it. Had to move some very heavy stuff to get to the segment, but I managed to get it dealt with.
I ended up overdoing it a bit and crashing hard for awhile, which is why this is a late addition. No harm, no foul.
Just very happy to have one persistent problem dealt with-- everything behind that one segment was getting capped at 300Mbps despite the switch supporting gigabit.
Jonathan HoggMy new year's resolution is to continue ignoring all technologies that I am told ignoring will result in me being left behind. I embrace the being left behind. I will become a forest witch, speaking to myself in invented programming languages. In the dark I will twist little bits of wire together to make flickering lights that amuse squirrels. I will let the 8-bit soil from which I came reclaim my body.
