On this day 8 years ago I had an early version of wezterm in a decent enough shape that I was considering using it as a daily driver for real work. I don't recall how well that stuck in that first week!

I can tell from the washed out color in the screenshot that it was before I had learned to whisper the words of power that enabled SRGB.

I can't believe it's been 8 years already.

I had someone comment on a PR (that was closed by its author) saying that it had been over a month since the last part of the discussion on there and asking if I'd had time to do anything about it. I don't think folks realize how many things are competing for attention on github; I've turned off most notifications, but it's still a lot of stuff in my notification inbox. I simply don't have time to prioritize on closed issues or PRs; I barely have time for those that are open!

Icons like this always parse in my brain first as coat hangers, so I tend to be thinking about closets for a few moments whenever I scan over them
as much as I wanted to do some grilling tonight, I’ll yield hanging out in front of the grill to this black-tailed rattlesnake! His nap and subsequent professional removal to somewhere less populated are clearly more important!
