It’s been one of those topsy-turvy days: Best-laid plans and then reality interferes. Good and kind of fun snippets, but the urgent long-standing stuff still needs doing. Another day tomorrow, and I’m fine with that, but…. Ahhhrrrgh!
In other news:
I have made the move from an iPhone SE(2) to a 15 ProMax. Wow, it is a HUGE machine, but so far I am not regretting a thing.
The screen is awesome, battery life is truly all-day (so far), and I’m glad I took the opportunity to also join the QuadLock ecosystem.
I have been struggling with a specific work task for weeks. It’s one that I enjoy, but a multi-faceted one that is not easy to find a way into.
Today, finally, I seem to have started to my some cracks in the shell appear. With some welcome assistance from Pomodoro timers.
Might actually get this done after all. And only a week late!

I’m having the kind of weekend that only comes around every once in a while. In a good way. Some light student-centred admin work, collie-sitting, and I moved my little Greenmantle to a new berth in the marina without a glitch. I’m ready for whatever next week throws at me.

Now then… This is even more like it. There will be some #Chicago wanderings today and a bit more re-jigging of my #kzoo2023 paper.
