   How it started, how it's going: home office edition. We bought a new construction home, pretty much a blank slate. With the expertise of an excellent tradesman, my home office has been transformed from white void to library and writing heaven. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/d2a91f8921c3aa40cff3b912f1e5eaaa869f2f58e7c1de602f8a7c4e7bb339cb/view

   Despite the smokey air, I had a lovely 4 km run today. Felt really good. The exercise is beginning to work, becoming more of a habit than a chore.

   From mcnees@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Chien-Shiung Wu, who obtained experimental proof of parity violation in weak nuclear decay, was born # OTD in 1912. Her 1956 experiment involving the decay of Cobalt-60 confirmed that the weak interaction does not respect what many had assumed was a fundamental symmetry of nature.

   Hmm. Looks like Twitter API authentication isn't working for the Python twitter library. I assume this means Twitter has finally shut down its open API? Don't have time to investigate this until the weekend. For now, NavierStokes won't be bridging messages between Twitter and other open social media services. Could be a fluke ... but given the behavior of leadership at Tw…

   It has been "hot" in # Sudbury for the past few days. This means temperatures around 85F (about 30C). Having moved from Texas, I find this charming. 🙂 I had a great run on Sunday in the "heat". I regret nothing. I thought it particularly funny when a guy called out from a pickup truck, "Sure is a hot one buddy!" I wasn't even running with water. 85F was an early spring…

    There is something so deeply satisfying about buying an SSD, cloning the magnetic drive on a 5 year old laptop, rendering the clone bootable, booting up the OS on the SSD, and having it be 5-8 times faster just to get to the Windows login screen.

    It shocks me that there are still places in Windows 10 where it cannot handle a file path containing more than 255 characters. I mean ... seriously.
