Me: "Oh no my potted oak tree is shedding its leaves it must be getting ill I am a terrible plant person"

Also me, outside: "Oooh all the leaves are falling I love this time of year aren't trees clever shedding leaves like that"

Happy Equinox everyone!

Say what you want about "Attack of the Clones", the soundtrack is spot on.

Ok, problem solving; got my old back-up phone, but there was a reason I abandoned it as it's incredibly unreliable.

Next task: find a SIM converter.

This morning the machine gods decided to brick my phone :-/ Looks like a hardware fault, w/o a way of restoring it. More than a tad crappy.

Quite frankly, adding Sriracha to vegetable gravy should be standard practice

Spending 10 minutes organising your Zotero library definitely counts as working on your thesis… right?

"Belly Full of Veg" is an accurate description of my current state, driving goals, and potentially what I'd name my Hybrid Black Metal-Gabber EP if I ever miraculously learned to do music.

Benefits of drinking around a litre of tea and a litre water in the mornings: super hydrated, feel great, healthy kidneys.

Drawbacks: needing the loo constantly between 1030 and 1400 :-/

Does anyone have any experience with #scanning and #digitising #books? I'm trying to pare down the final bits of my collection and want to scan generate #epub copies with searchable text.

Ideally Linux or Ubuntu solutions

This is the first day in a long time I've struggled to get up not because I feel crap but because I'm super comfy

I really want to start switching to a Dvorak keyboard layout because I've always deeply enjoyed it every time I've spent time with one; but I also don't want to be that guy who uses Linux, writes in LaTeX, AND has a Dvorak keyboard :-/

I always forget how utterly wonderful "No Dreams Breed in Breathless Sleep" is as a short instrumental piece <3

My resolution for this coming Equinox is to remember the restorative effects of my "foundational rituals" (stuff that makes me, me). I've been feeling thoroughly crappy lately and stuff like my Strength Training has suffered, and haven't been up to performing them much leading to feeling crappier.

I managed to start breaking out of this cycle last week through heavy focus on exercise (my bedrock) and I've never felt this good in a while. Still a ways to go, but upwards.
