A nice rainbow
Last night I had to run some errands that I didn't feel like doing. Unexpectedly, I was rewarded with one of the prettiest rainbows I've ever seen. I hadn't felt so excited about something in a while. Little things like this are keeping me going.

One year since my endometriosis excision
Today marks one year since I had extensive endometriosis lesions scraped out of me for several hours. Though not my first abdominal surgery, preceded only by my bilateral salpingectomy a few years prior, the excision took a lot out of me. And not just because my bladder decided to stop working a couple days after the procedure, which prompted a traumatizing ER visit where no one paid attention to my bladder about to explode until I became hysterical. Still, I don't regret having gone through with the surgery. I'm incredibly grateful to my surgeon, who told me that I likely would have needed a

A spontaneous trip
One of the perks of being both perpetually unemployed and a credit card nerd is the ability to "afford" to go somewhere on a whim with the help of award travel and the generosity of your best friend who is willing to host you for free. And it turned out to be one of my best decisions... maybe ever? One of my closest friends, initially "just" a language partner, told me last month that he would be headed to the Bay Area for a few weeks on a business trip. His first time in the US. We had met in person only once before, about 1.5 years ago when I stopped for a few hours in the Netherlands, where

Reflections on National Adoption Month
A few hours prior to attending an event several weeks ago, I met up with an online acquaintance and his wife who had come into town. We knew beforehand that a local animal shelter was invited to the event and would bring a couple of their dogs with the hope that they would be adopted by attendees. I can admit it was a sweet initiative. I didn't know this couple very well, but I met them in person once a few years ago. It was nice to kill some time by chatting with them about the evening ahead, except for one unpleasant interaction. As we discussed the dogs we would meet later, this couple's do

Static Typing
Static typing zealotry is such a spiritually castrated activity: there’s this mentality that “real programmers” would never even fathom using dynamically typed languages. I also find the idea of “but correctness of the program is in the types” a pretty deficient premise –tests are what gives you confidence that your program is correct, not types. The compiler can help, but it’s not a silver bullet. One time I renamed a field in a model and everywhere else that used it, but I forgot to change a call in a view. Since I was working with a dynamically type

Pragmata - an In-Depth Critique and Review
…Pragmata is very good. *REVIEW OVER* Okay, seriously now: Pragmata is the very only game other than Nier Automata that I could declare an instant classic. It’s pretty much the new Resident Evil 4: a game that’s so polished, smart and well-rounded that it holds infinite replay value. People will be replaying it decades from now. But the first time I saw Pragmata I was not impressed with it at all. It seeming to be simply an over-the-shoulder shooter with the Bioshock hacking minigame bolted on top, Capcom having also recently burned a lot of goodwill with their practices and

Twin Peaks - An In-Depth Critique and Review
Frank Lloyd Wright once said that “Television is chewing gum for the eyes”. Well, “that gum you like is coming back in style”… Well lodged within the Hollywood Cabal, Lynch is one of the most well-respected “Auteurs” I know. Everything he worked on, down to the most ridiculous advertisements for Japanese television, has his signature style of strobe lights, and oneiric bizarre nonsense. It is very easy to pitfall myself into simply gushing over David Lynch and his work in this review, given how sublime, eccentric, unconventional and trailblazing it is

Just recovered from a Kubernetes outage in my homelab.
Just recovered from a Kubernetes outage in my homelab. Since a few days ago, I’d been experiencing reduced performance across all the machines in the cluster. Even though they all seemed normal, I noticed the master tended to report high CPU usage and low available RAM. This would cause HTTP calls from the client machines to fail, so their status or deployments could not be updated. The main giveaway being that the nodes would very frequently flap between NotReady and Ready Historically, I’ve been running k3s on Raspberry Pis. It works and it’s stable, and it’s a great

A Few Words About The Sopranos (Mini Review)
A Few Words About The Sopranos (Mini Review) One of my gripes with Millennial-made media is that it’s nothing but membaberries . The vast majority of it is simply “hey guys, do you remember Ninja Turtles ? Do you remember Star Wars ? Hey, remember this from Alien ?”; I believe Millennial media to be lacking a voice , that is. Pre-9/11 turn-of-the-Millennium pieces such as The Matrix , Falling Down , American Beauty , Office Space , Fight Club , and of course, The Sopranos all share a similarity; they all revolve around a central concept, an “ethos”, specifically o
