Kind: Notes

short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title
During this trip, I got frustrated when I made an order in a local business I expressed asked for them not to give me something, Mentioned it three times, asked them to confirm, But brought it back with me to the venue I was at and low and behold…The thing I asked them not to give me. This is like when I go to a restaurant and ask for a my drink with no ice and no lemon and one of those things shows up. I normally don’t write about such things…but I told this story several times to people and I was told that if I told the same story 3 times, it needed to be on my website. So here it is.
I found out why it was harder to get a hotel this weekend in San Diego. Apparently, the American Society of Hematologists is having their annual conference and exhibition. I spent over an hour trying to get a ride out of the airport, surrounded by people with conference swag. Not sure how many attendees, but 32,000 people attended last year according to their site.

 

This is my first attempt at soldering switches into a keyboard…in fact, haven’t tried to solder anything since college. I also didn’t like the open board, so tried to 3d print one…from a template…needs refining, but good enough for now.

Have to apologize to Nick Simson. He was having more issues than he should have with the webmentions plugin. Turns out that the Block Editor was hiding the option I kept expecting to be there. Will have to come up with a solution for that.
Does anyone do self-assessments of how they’d quarantine people they share a living space with if they got sick? Doing one of these for family members, sort of like a drill to see how easy it would be to isolate someone. So far, identified several action items.
