Hi! I like coffee, reading, good UX, and more. Favorite movie: Despicable Me.
If you like #Factorio or #Minecraft , you might also like #Autonauts. It’s a world-building game. It’s for mac, PC and #linux .
Right now they’re in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign. Some of the backer rewards include cool things like extra votes in development direction polls. 😜 If you’d like to take a look, you can see it at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1491793990/autonauts .
Why, oh why, is the local Linux User Group in my area only accessible via Facebook or Google+ ? It just seems wrong! 😢
rsync is AWESOME! Using it for my backups on #Linux
Ugh. Some brands take themselves way too seriously on #birdsite and don't like it if you RT something of theirs. WHY ARE THEY TWEETING IT IF THEY ARE NOT PREPARED FOR ANYONE TO RT IT???
Some of the most unrealistic parts of movies/tv shows are when people get into someone else's car and drive off without adjusting the seat
#Twitter is getting creepy now: https://im-in.space/media/9eo8LvP4g6-bq_4WLPY
Currently: Using my new installation of #linuxlite for all of my everyday work that I used to do on a PC. It's AWESOME! #linux
Also, my old laptop under linux is performing faster with my typical work than the higher-specced desktop Windows PC for the same work.
Can't watch Penguins of Madagascar without seeing a whole lot of Linux installations running around.
Fire trucks are actually water trucks... #Showerthoughts https://t.co/BI1OLK6bAG
I'm not sure which is worse: websites which ONLY work properly with Internet Explorer, or websites which work properly with everything EXCEPT for Internet Explorer. Both are kinda frightening to me.
being tired this early is a deep betrayal of adolescent me
"JavaScript uses a convention where month numbers start at zero (so December is 11), yet day numbers start at one. This is confusing and silly. Be careful."
this has to be a language created by the devil himself.

Looking forward to fixing spaghetti for dinner tonight. Not sure why I'm looking so much forward to that, but I am. 😋 🍽
I'm not a fan of video as a medium, except for tutorials etc where it would be easier to show video than words or pics. For me, video is a very slooow way of getting a message across. We can read faster than someone speaks.
No, I do not have a Facebook. I do not like being asked to do something that should only come naturally. And I don't like coercion through peer pressure.

Ladies, when you go out tonight remember these safety tips:
Wear bright colors to indicate to predators that you are poisonous.
Look bigger than you are! Hold your arms out and take up space!
Maybe paint a face on your back to confuse them?
Watched a random person write a Facebook post next to me in the metro.
It's amazing the number of distractions that get in the way: pop-ups, auto-completes, etc. The UI is a nightmare—it should have been filmed and made into an HCI study!—but he soldiered through and shared his nugget of wisdom with the world.
After all that pain, Facebook congratulated him with a message like "you have shared for 11 days in a row!" -- yes, to my surprise FB now incorporates _streaks_ to further engagement.
