Hey there, I’m David! I’m a Principal Software Engineer at
FireHydrant
(where I write APIs) out in Portland, Ore.
(where I drink IPAs). I write about tech (rarely), food (often), and whatever else is on my mind.
i asked my partner if she wanted to order sushi and watch a movie, figuring we’d put on a comedy or drama or something (she hates watching scary and/or violent movies)
i’ve tried every way i can think of to make it so my gaming PC’s mouse won’t wake it from sleep since it seems like even a gust of wind will move it. nothing seems to work. Windows device/power management is the fucking worst
so i just learned about Hello Kitty Island Adventure, and… it’s basically Animal Crossing? but… with a lot more features? i’ve never really been a Hello Kitty girlie but this shit actually looks really good??
i was having a nightmare where each of my knees had a dislodged bone that was protruding out and i couldn’t rotate my legs inward without it being incredibly painful
woke up and it’s just that my knees were touching kinda hard
been waiting multiple days for confirmation emails for both Pixelfed and loops.video… i signed up skeptical that either would reasonably scale and this doesn’t really help lol
just did my last quarterly estimated tax payments for the city of Portland 🥳 (because our new payroll provider actually does withholding unlike ADP, which is fucking ridiculous given they’re one of the biggest payroll providers in the country)
