   @musicman @geniusmusing When #Node.js forked into IO.js, they reconciled soon after. Probably because it wasn’t in anyone’s financial interest to stay apart long.

   Good morning and #TZAG. It is 08:30 PDT. For the second day in a row, scale says I’m upweight by 0.2 lb. I think I’m not getting enough walking with all the driving and standing in lines at supermarkets.
   
   Today is my “log into the $EMPLOYER laptop and run updates and take #Lynda.com / #LinkedIn Learning / #LockedOut Learning classes” day.
   Let’s see what wonderful #PowerShell techniques I’m not allowed to use today.

    Time to go to bed. Exploration with #Lua again tonight. It is still mind-bending, but getting somewhat easier to grok. I suspect that I’ll be able to apply this to learning languages like #Squirrel and #Wren, which take inspiration from Lua. As usual, if something seems to give unexpected results, look at the interaction with tables, which are dictionaries (associative array…

    Went into the garage to see whether there was an old computer that I could press into service with F@H (though I've heard the project has temporarily run out of work-units) and #BOINC. I thought maybe I still had one out there, but then I remembered that I sent the old stuff to e-waste recycling a few years ago (other than some monitors ... I'll dig them out and set them aside …

    @simsa03 As part of receiving unemployment benefits, I am required to look for a replacement job, so hopefully, I'd be doing that instead of brooding. :-) But I do see your point.

    Speaking of retail staff, I found a bottled water product that my mom regularly buys and drinks, so I picked up three liter-sized bottles. Turns out that there’s a two item limit on water products. The store’s employee was very nice about it.
    
    (I use a Brita filter pitcher, which removes most of the bad taste of our local tap water.)

    Sounds like they have a couple of weeks' worth of diapers and baby wipes. Since #GS3 (age 1) is eating real food, they're going to wean him off baby formula.
