Always nice to see the standard UK weather from the other side.

Rideshares to the airport were $45 one way today. Parking in the "economy" lot is $20 a day. But it turns out that parking at my local train station, which has a train direct to the airport every 15 minutes, is just $2 a day. Feel a bit silly I didn't do this before (it does take slightly longer!)

Spent a little bit of time tonight working on a tablet mode (hinge angle) service for this delightful little machine - the Chiwu Minibook X N150. Was just taking someone's existing Go project and changing a few things, but it _did_ involve udev rules so I think that at least counts as Real Work.

Now OpenAI has bought 40% of the world's DRAM capacity and prices have shot up, starting to wonder when the 384GB of RAM in my basement server will outpace my house's value...

I have owned a Thermomix for five years and have only just discovered that it can make a very decent custard in 13 minutes. This has revolutionised tonight's apple pie.

What I love about Lumines Arise is that there will be a level with an emotional song about the meaning of humanity, and then a few levels later one that's just a fun piano riff about how cool pigeons are.

I am very much enjoying Lumines Arise, but I wish they had put the music and visuals on a game I was any good at. (I am getting better, but it's hard to beat decades of getting better at Tetris)

Denver, a metro area of 3 million people: zero good poutine places. Providence, RI, a city of only 200,000 people in a state of only a million: I was eating delicious poutine within 10 minutes of getting off the train. I know they're a bit nearer Canada here but cmon.

Finally riding one of America's very few Proper Trains (currently enjoying a great view on the way out of NYC). And I even snagged a cheap first class upgrade!

My attempts at a nice relaxing weekend have immediately been undone by my garage door opener failing (pulled off the top and the belt sprocket is at much more of a jaunty angle than it should be)
