I love God foremost. I also like developing software, flying planes, talking on ham radio (where I'm known as KG5LYE), and dolphins in general.

Skirted those storms in the sky this evening and grabbed some beautiful photos! #BrazosValleySunset @KBTXWeather

@mitkw @Ed_McDonald @AeroAg2012 @DerBisonBaer Unless there’s something they’re not telling us, like, what if we actually spew particles out of our ears? 😜

[Matthew Barry @komputerwiz]

@mitkw @Ed_McDonald @AeroAg2012 @DerBisonBaer I’ve wondered about that myself... if anything, front-to-back distancing should be more important: I don’t always spew my COVID-laden particulate matter, but when I do, it’s typically in the direction my facial orifices are, well, facing.

I spent some time solving a problem and thought I'd share... I wanted to get #bogofilter working with #offlineimap, #notmuch, and #afew, but couldn't find a way to do so online; so I wrote my own filter adapter. Enjoy! https://t.co/TLJKsbju3G

Pray hard. Work hard. Play hard. In that order. #secretlab #liturgyofthehours #archlinux #threadripper

@mitkw Wow. It might be better to take an inventory of installed packages, back up /home and /etc, and then install a fresh copy of the latest version: upgrades can leave some cruft in their wake.

@mitkw @rl_fontenot @kap3692 @DerBisonBaer @GEBellamy Forcing yourself to live in the terminal is the best way to get better. The `man` and `info` pages are invaluable. Don't just scan them, read them! If you can get a copy, this book really jump-started my CLI and Linux skills: https://t.co/QBFejdoaJB

@mitkw @rl_fontenot @kap3692 @DerBisonBaer @GEBellamy Arch for home, Ubuntu Server LTS for work, but don't take my word: choose one that's easy for you to use and learn.

@JacobFriedline @AustinDiocese @timehop Thanks, @JacobFriedline! It’s great to be spending time with family and friends! I hope you’ve had plenty of time to do the same!

[Matthew Barry @komputerwiz]

@JacobFriedline The clarification that it is “totally not a virus” means it totally is a virus pretending to be a dolphin. This is a form of social engineering that plays on users’ trust of dolphins because dolphins are entirely trustworthy.

[Matthew Barry @komputerwiz]

@JacobFriedline I would’ve loved to, but the convective SIGMET near CLL today might’ve caused trouble.

@95point2 Oops. It’s been a while since I last checked my notifications. Yes, please feel free to edit and share as you wish!

Definitely some SLC’s. One more pic @NWSHouston @KBTXWeather

Several downpours to this system moving towards the Brazos Valley. @NWSHouston @KBTXWeather feel free to share and reuse.

Visited @SeaWorldTexas last week and had a great time! I heard that today is Takara's birthday: I hope she got something special like jello or extra enrichment time. I was also amazed at how much Sakari has grown. Hope to visit again soon!

One of these planes is not like the others... Just flew in to IAH in a Cessna 172 amidst all the 737’s, 777’s, regional jets, etc. Big shout-out to all the ATC operators: thanks for keeping the skies and taxiways safe!

[Fr. Ryan Higdon @FrHigdon]

Alright folks, help a guy out.

I’m heading to Nashville to run a #Marathon with a bunch of coworkers. Help us find a cool #Nashville place to #carbload :)

We’re looking for a fun, local place with character.

Ok internet I’m counting on you.

This is wonderful! After singing in the Schola at the Extraordinary Form Latin Mass for the Solemnity of the Annunciation, my cassock and surplice—and by extension my car—now smell faintly of pontifical incense!

[Matthew Barry @komputerwiz]

I've resisted the urge to post this for four days already, but I can't resist any longer. It's not even very original, but it's still the Octave of April Fools'—er Easter—, so I guess it still counts. I'm sorry. Happy Easter!
