I just mistyped "enumerate" as "enumberate". Which is a perfectly sensible slip for my brain to have made :-)

I once read that all software wants to add features until it becomes an OS. I think that buttons have similar ambitions. For example, my share button has doubled as a "save" button for a while. But this morning I realized that it has also become "bookmark." Ah well.

This year, I've decided to start believing in the future.

Contrast with previous years, where I demonstrated my intelligence by outlining, in detail, just how bad the future might be.

We'll see how this works, but I like it so far.

Is it weird that the scariest and weirdest step in this whole transition process was changing the name of my home dir?

I love multipass, but I finally broke down and added mulitpass="multipass" to my .zprofile. (I think that's the main typo; I also have "mp" aliased, but I usually forget to use it.)

@magicaltrout That is very specific. Also, now I am hungry.

@magicaltrout It helps that you can't see the thin bit at the top of my head in the picture :-p

If anyone has any insight into why my Terminal and Emacs windows shrink after I unlock my Gnome Shell desktop ... please head over to AskUbuntu and answer my question?

@magicaltrout Ha! That was from last December, when I shaved so that I could play a sailor in #clubdrosselmeyer. I do look much more grown up with my beard :-)

I did a blog about getting Bumblee working on my laptop. (I know that nvidia-xrun is the new hotness, but for now I just wanted to play my silly digital card games in one window while keeping an eye on a build or whatnot in another window.) https://t.co/jtjW2y2v6G

@magicaltrout It's not just Emacs, though. Terminal does it, too! And Firefox. Chrome doesn't, though I have a feeling that's because Chrome's integration with Gnome isn't as complete ...

I'm slowly working on dusting off and updating my Linux admin habits. The latest is adding `journalctl -xef` to my fingers (more inclusive and more modern than `tail -f /var/log/syslog`). Very useful for tracking how, specifically, my laptop is misbehaving today.

@magicaltrout I am a font of vague and unhelpful information.

[Penny V. Gale @penny_further]

digs through multiple layers of abstraction and misleading error messages. Gets to bottom. Finds it was all a matter of a missing library. Isn't modern software development grand!

[Penny V. Gale @penny_further]

Glancing through the feature list for Python 3.7, just noticed that the PEP for a built in breakpoint() function has been implemented. That's darn cool! https://t.co/WlASUqQ357

@magicaltrout That is a beautiful stack. A stack in the truest sense of the word. Don't let anybody convince you otherwise :-)

[Penny V. Gale @penny_further]

@magicaltrout True. I am like Iago, whispering things into people’s ears, making them like, then unlike tweets!
