Zoox has a garage near there, on the other side of the Best Buy. I've seen one of those toasters near there, though I don't know if it's the same one.

This picture was taken about twenty minutes after meeting this noisyfaced fuzzball. He had already run a bunch of laps around the little play area.

For the record: I'm working from home today, on one of San Francisco's many hills. I did not feel either earthquake, and if the tsunami gets me then you will definitely hear about it on every news source.

As long as you wash your hands when you're done, and as long as you don't leave a mess for the next person.

I mostly lurked over there, but, uh, hi. I'm an SRE/ops guy, based in San Francisco.

Wait, am I a Bluesky elder?

I am still kind of tempted to quote this in the movie poster style, perhaps on my resume: "...genius... immense talent...." - E. Musk

Two years ago today, I woke up to a BCC'd email saying my employment at Twitter had been terminated. No official explanation, no severance.

I miss my team there (TCC!), and the work we did, and the other SREs, and the office food, but I don't miss working for that petulant manchild in any respect.

And wishes. Lots and lots of wishes.

Not having the greatest day, so I'm going to revive an old, pre-birdsite, practice.

Today, I'm grateful for people who listen; for a warm, dry, safe place to sleep; and for the confidence boost I got yesterday at the gym. (I'm also grateful for other things, but those three are top of mind rn.)

I've been working on migrating follows from That Site. I don't always remember why I'd followed people in the first place, and I may wind up quietly unfollowing a few, but I figured this was a good way to bootstrap over here.

Still hoping to find SREsky, though. Y'all were great Over There.

Here's what's in my head today. Apparently I have to revisit it every year around this time. youtu.be/_ul7X5js1vE?...

Restarting over here, now that we're beginning to get critical mass post-birdsite.

Hi! I'm Jim. Good to see all y'all here. Don't feed the trolls, and try to be kind to each other; if you make an effort for both of those things then this place can stay useful. (Old school netiquette FTW.)

Uh, hi. Guess I'll try this place out.
