This is my final week of parental leave and today was O's first day of preschool.

Time goes by too fast.

I thought it was just me. I took in my brothers airpods pro and after diagnostics the right and left ones needed replacement. They quoted replacements for ~$160 but somehow the system allowed it to be marked as $90. Except it wouldnt let me check out...

He ended up getting a new set of the latest pros for cheaper.

This all feels like a scam so you are forced to purchase apple care.

Finding weird bugs in my micropub server after months of no updates is fun. I've been meaning to make some changes to it so maybe now is the time.

I'm happy to know this isn't just me. I've had a fire alarm waiting to be installed for 6 months now but that's future benji's problem.

16 years. Thats how long it took to get here.

A few months ago I picked this up from a Little Free Library in the neighborhood. Today my kid picked it to read for bedtime. Happy May 4th.

I've seen some people use either ~/code, ~/projects, or ~/programming. The first IDE I used was Eclipse and by default it would create projects under ~/workspace. Since then I've been using that as my source code directory but also because its a small reference to Hackers (1995).

Things have been quiet over here but I did recently make some changes to my watched page. You can click on a star rating to view the list of movies that fall into that rating (for example: ★★★).

Now that I have most of the features to track my movie watches on here I might try to get access to the Letterboxd API so that I can POSSE to there.

Back home in Ecuador I don't remember anyone drinking tea unless it was for medicinal purposes (stomach ache, nausea, cold). We do coffee multiple times a day, and I still usually drink a cup of coffee right before bed.

Tea culture in the UK was always fascinating to me so a few years ago I spent some time trying to learn how to make a proper cup of tea. I'm not sure if I got there but I sometimes will have my version of that as a treat.
