It's hard to state how out there this sounded to 20 something me when I heard it and the Orb for the first time on John Peel's radio 1 show.

Pondering giving Deezer a go after a disappointing trial of Qobuz, I currently use Apple music but it's awful for recommending stuff I'm not interested in.

Gah, thought I'd scratched my eye earlier and just noticed one of them is very red now. Think I rubbed my eye after eating some crisps.

Although I'm not that stressed I honestly can't get into the work I've been assigned. Never done e2e tests before, doubly so as a NX module federated monorepro and also without any testing strategy.

This is because the American management fired the QA department without notice.

Me retire now?

Finally set up zsh on the work machine, that's something I've been looking at for about 2 years and only took about 20 minutes in the end.

After a pretty awful couple of weeks I can feel parts of my brain starting to switch back into rational mode again. I even took a step back from the detail of what I working on to think about if I could make my workflow/tools less clunky.

Just wound the standing get into the standing position for the first time in years, think I'll try and do a couple of periods a day standing from now on.

It's the cheap IKEA stand up desk with the manual wind up/down, I've some old IKEA cable trays that have been moved between several benches over the years and the power distribution is attached to the underside of the desk.

In true programming hell style, my two days of trying to get something to work, even with other coders helping has distilled into about 10 lines of code.
