Sometimes, after a hard days work, a fella needs a dirty, moist hole. To all the dirty holes in our lives – salut!

No, I’m not talking about my high school band (we were a Mr. Speed tribute band), I’m talking about the cold blooded indifference of Mother Gaia. Below are the hollowed out corpses of some sort of insect on top of my cucumber leafs. I discovered them one morning before watering. More than likely a parasite suckling on the thick, syrupy goodness of my container garden. The trick to being a crazy person is to really Read more…

Well you get this: … a monitor stand attached to a pipe stand via C clamps.

In order for success to exist something opposite of it has to exist as well. For every up there is a down. For every left there is a right. It is only logical. In order to know success one has to know failure as well. They are inexorably linked – the only way to not know failure is to not know success. Society heavily favors success. Again this is logical. We are bags of mostly Read more…

I logged into GitHub, created a repository, and when I went to clone it I noticed that there was a new option – GitHub CLI. Interesting. Navigated the website to download the client: https://github.com/cli/cli#installation macOs has three options. Windows has four options. And then the toy OSes. We start with three, none of them native to any specific distribution. Then we click on … https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/trunk/docs/install_linux.md … and the complexity becomes mind numbing. No less than Read more…

Took much longer to figure this out than I care to admit. In order to build OpenCV: Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git In a directory next to it: cmake -Hopencv -Bbuild_opencv -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/dev/opencv cd build_opencv make

I have now received two calls from ASHRAE to renew my membership. This is exactly 0/2 times as many times of responses I’ve received to my two requests to their tech supp9ort with regard to me being unable to access their online content. And speaking of shitty tech support and misplaced priorities, it is unnerving how access to information is increasingly being locked away behind monthly memberships and all the bullshit associated with that. Neither Read more…

PRE-UPDATE: Just the fact that I can copy and paste a ❤️ like no big deal is nothing short of magic to those of us (or just me anyway) that are old enough to remember worrying about systems being ‘8 bit clean‘. It’s mind boggling that a knucklehead like me can upload a bunch of drawings into “the cloud”, inject some phoney baloney money, and out comes a physical manifestation of the drawing. Not quite Read more…

Quick – what is the most under-utilized opening that you own?! No need to get the Mexican sex foreplay dice, friend. It’s the CD slot in your car stereo. Now, much like your other openings, this too can have a piece of expanding plastic inserted into it. And just like the inventor of that other piece of expanding plastic, this one deserves a Nobel Piece Prize ass-well. Feast your eyes on: The CD slot mounted Read more…

This is a picture heavy post because pictures are worth a 1000 words and I’m simply not in the mood for much wording. That’s just how it is today. One of the post assemblies being painted. You’ll notice the appropriate spacing between the gasoline and the propane. Just a standard upright. That blue looks good and I don’t care what anyone says. The unit in the first picture in situ in the daytime. In Read more…
