    3d printing

    Friend of mine has had an Ender 3d Pro printer for over a year, but for one reason or another, never got help building it. So she brought it here. I've been interested in these things for a while, but it's always been "meh, it's one more hobby that I don't wanna sink money into" but now that...

    Tinwhistler tries cocktails

    A while back, I got "The Dungeonmeister" for Christmas. It's a D&D themed cocktail book. And, since I have a lot more space in this house that I have all to myself, I figured I'd build out the shelves in the dining room to be my cocktail bar. I still need quite a few liqueurs but I have most of...

    Building out the house--Ikea has a neat tool

    So, I love living in the future. Ikea has a tool that lets you lay out a room, pretty much exactly as it exists in real life: That's a perfect representation of the back room of the new house. You can adjust the size and location of everything. Then, you can proceed to fill it up with stuff...

    Traveling to Ireland, Oct or Nov.

    I've been wanting to go back to Ireland. And since I'm single now with the lower expenses of Texas living, I find that I have enough after the house purchase to make it possible. I've been keeping my eye on it for a couple of weeks now. Last time I went at the end of the Summer season. This...

    That's nice (things that aren't awesome, funny, or a rant...but just nice)

    So, in starting this new job, watching new hires, and attending meetings, I'm noticing that the company is doing very well at diversification. At least half (if not a smidge more) of our QA techs and developers are female. That's nice.
