I can never tell if Melania is dressed for a funeral or if she’s actually the grim reaper.

Writing Foundry/Manuals SQLite integration was rather painful because I wanted it to integrate well with libdex.

So I started toying with what a new API/ABI could look like based on those frustrations.

The JXL loading of backgrounds in GNOME is so slow for me now that if you don't already have the dark/light background cached in memory, it janks by not updating at the same time as libadwaita apps.

This is on a brand new ThinkPad P1 Gen 8...

Clearly I'm still not a JXL fan (yet).

I find it extremely funny that I spent a great deal of time writing the both the initial GDateTime implementation and libspelling.

My neurodiversity has me terrible at dates and times as well as spelling. Or perhaps, that was the reason, I dunno.

The little joys in life. I got my "Certificat de changement de résidence" so I don't have to pay VAT on all my personal belongings to get them out of customs. 🎊

My wagon auctioned for the _exact_ price I guessed it would. Still got it.

One of my concerns around how the Ireland corporate tax breaks are implemented and now closing the loopholes is that existing companies are grandfathered in.

That essentially means you create this protected class of corporations which others cannot compete against with regards to moving money to those typical tax shelters (Cayman Islands, etc).

Cancelling all my subscription services feels waaay too good. And wow does giving the middle finger to US internet companies feel good.

Imagine if you scraped the worst behavior on the internet and then made that the way humans communicate forthwith. We truly are already living in hell.

Extremely difficult to acquire outside of Tibet, is Droma. Very unique tuber essential for Losar rice in my wife’s family.

Spent the last month and a half working like crazy fixing little things, cleaning the house, moving a few things to storage, and letting go of a lot of stuff.

Tomorrow, we do photos for the house listing and it will be up for sale by the end of the week.

The number of days until we leave is getting pretty low. Sort of a perfect moment in time to soft retire given the state of the industry and the world at large.

Just saw some screenshots where someone integrated Sysprof into some really interesting low-level developer tools. Love seeing it grow into more use cases!

To give you an idea of what a day on the Red Hat desktop team looks like, yesterday I worked on the following projects in some fashion (code or debugging) and might have actually missed some more I didn't write down.

* Flatpak
* GLib
* Planet GNOME
* Sysprof
* Libdex
* Ptyxis
* GNOME Builder
* Foundry
* D-Spy
* Libpeas
* GNOME Shell
