Wed Jul 7 06:00:01 EDT 2021 ======================================== Slept from ten-thirty to six-thirty. Woke briefly a couple times in the night. Mostly cloudy then becoming partly cloudy late in the morning then becoming cloudy. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms in the morning, then showers and scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the mid 80s. West winds 5 to 10 mph shifting to the north early in the evening. Chance of precipitation 80 percent. Work ---------------------------------------- - remind everybody to not use work address for personal email Done. - forward extension 100 to 110 after 4 PM Done. Twenty-minute walk. Hot. Saw a couple mourning doves and a little white butterfly. Heard a crow and cicadas. Saw a mushroom that looked like yellow insulation spray foam with little globs of apricot jelly. Talked to Heather Shea for a bit. She and Matt are both pretty anxious too. Like me, they've also set the end of July as the date to start looking for a new place if H&T doesn't let us sign leases. Talked to Kelly Dabish-Bahoura. She's anxious to sign a lease too. She needs to know where her kids will be going to school. A somewhat busy day at work. Several network outages, some storm-related. Really intense thunderstorms around five o'clock. Pretty lucky I didn't lose power or Internet at home. Home ---------------------------------------- - schedule dental cleaning Done.

One big appeal of RSS is it's plain old XML that can come from anything over HTTP. > > ActivityPub is the part that requires server-side logic. ActivityStreams is a more basic layer that can be entirely static or even serverless, and ActivityPub is built on it. Watered plants, washed laundry, took out trash. Really tired tonight. More pre-packing, purging. Making a little progress, but still feeling overwhelmed. Read part of Alan Moore's Neonomicon. Lovecraftian, certainly, with a bit of William Burroughs thrown in. Meditated for ten minutes. Like last night, not hard to do the time, though a few more (work-related) intrusive thoughts. Definitely helps me relax.
