@bender@twtxt.net haha yeah. he’s never been free to roam the house when we are away, he’s either with us - or in his big crate in our bedroom (he’s not in there for long, just when he cannot be with us in the car etc). So it’s going to be damn nice to have a safe place for him outside. We fenced our garden in last year, he’s been there a lot when we are home, he loves it a lot (especially during winter). But we cannot have him there when we’re not home. But with the new dog yard thing - he can stay there without me worrying.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I have a custom .tmux.conf that makes it very easy to use the multiplexer, but I agree, Zellij seems pretty robust, and intuitive. I like it! Tried compiling it, as with everything Rust, it failed miserably. Good thing there is a binary release I could download to try!

@sorenpeter@darch.dk a poem about me giving Odo a free bucket:

A glint in his eye, a sly, Ferengi grin,
Quark crossed the promenade, a curious thing within.
No jeweled trinket, no weapon so grand,
But a simple pail held tight in his hand.

Odo, the Constable, with a brow raised high,
“A bucket, Quark? What trickery do you try?”
The Ferengi huckster, with a salesman’s flair,
“A gift, my friend, a constable’s rare!”

“For those late-night spills, a morphing mishap,
This bucket, dear Odo, will catch every scrap.
And should a suspect turn to goop and flee,
This pail’s the answer, a guarantor, you see!”

Odo’s lips twitched, a hint of a smile,
At Quark’s twisted logic, his mercantile style.
“Perhaps,” he conceded, the bucket held tight,
“A useful addition, in the pursuit of right.”

So Quark made his sale, with a wink and a nod,
A bucket for Odo, a Ferengi oddity, odd.
But on Deep Space Nine, where chaos takes hold,
Even a pail can be worth more than gold.

About the account, thanks, but I already have way too many. :-D

I’m this close to making an Android app for managing a shopping list.

I just accidentally deleted the wrong list in the app that I’m currently using, and now there’s no way to get it back. Recreating it is a major pain, because typing on a phone sucks ass. Fuck.
