Tonight I rode the ebike to play shuffleboard. On the way there I saw two alligators and a big turtle. On the way home I saw a big heron with what looked like an eel in it's beak. Good times.

HEY! If you're in the north GA area, Doctor Deathray and her Implements of Destruction are playing a free show at Ellijay Coffeehouse on Saturday June 10th (that's in two days) at 6pm (that's in 7.75 hours).

If you're not in the north GA area, I'm going to attempt to live stream the whole thing from a couple of 70s video cameras, because I love the way they look.

We'll also be using some newer cameras, probably.

Offpunk is pretty great! It's for reading and downloading Gemini capsules offline I'm figuring out how it works, and am quite happy.

I was going to say heck yeah, you tell em Linus but uhh...why is kernel.org federating with poa.st in the first place?!

We have fully entered the time of year where I don't have to water any of my plants thanks to the daily rains.

Why is it that low-res chonky pixels and the creativity that goes into conveying information and emotion through them is more impressive to me than the denesest of pixels?

heads up to the #gemini users out there

As announced a few weeks ago, geminispace.info will move to a new server. The new system is set up and initial indexing went well so far.

please give it a try at gemini://test.geminispace.info and reach out to me if something is not working

I'll plan to switch production to the new system within a week or two.

I'm also not a fan of the "proper" way to build garden beds that you find everywhere on the internet. Almost all of them tell you to essentially bury a bunch of plastic in the ground to prevent weeds and keep your edging looking perfect for a decade. But like, I don't give a rats ass if it looks perfect in 10 years as long as it does the job I want it to do and I'm not buying and burying a bunch of plastic in the ground, sorry.

Gardening 

6 yo and I started preparing a small garden bed today. We used a bunch of paver bricks that were scattered around the property in various places when we bought the house. It's certainly not the "proper" way to prepare a garden bed. Will it hold up for 10 years? Probably not. We were lazy and just went for it but will it hold the dirt in and grow vegetables? Yes. It's very small bed that just for fun because he has been begging me to let him plant stuff :).

Produce shopping at the farmer's market is nice. 5 limes, 5 sweet potatoes, a basket of grape tomatoes and ginger. Total = $5 even. Nice.
