Ugh, I should not be awake at this time, and this'll make today suck. Woke up around 0330, nothing really surprising, but didn't really feel like going back to sleep. Popped on the computer to do some work, and then tried to sleep, then computer, then try to sleepโ€ฆ Finally gave up around 0500. Breakfast made and eaten, and now just the regular morning surf before work.

No driverless taxis until we're consulted


#Waymo has just launched #robotaxi testing in #London

  • No consultation with drivers
  • No plan for the hundreds of thousands of people whose income depends on this work
  • Just a fleet of driverless cars on London streets the government is waving through

The government are planning a #consultation on this in a couple of months, but drivers aren't being considered.

Sign; tell government: Consultation BEFORE testing

So this is the windscreen for a lavalier mike that I got, in fact its a set of two, so I'll keep the basic foam on one, and the wind sock on the other so I can just switch mikes depending on my recording situation. Only problem, I can't figure out how to put this on, I'm assuming it goes on, just insert the mike into the hole in itโ€ฆ What hole? I feel like I'm looking for a Tribble's asshole here, and having no luck

Awesome story, I actually finished reading it maybe a week ago.

Ok, got the second quote this morn on AC and furnace replacement, prolly go with the first, though I haven't had opportunity to compare the quotes. In both cases I filled out the contact us on their websites, and whereas the first one sent me a confirmation that they'd received the message, the second didn't. Then there was response time, I think a day for the first company, two for the second. And then the quote process, documenting measurements, exactly the same, but the first fed it into a tablet, generated quotes and emailed me as well as showing me them. The second? Did I mention that the guy who showed up, the brother of the owner, had a salesman's case that looked he'd had it since he started, and the quote was in the form of a pre-printed sheet, I guess they're sorted by the combo needed, but rather old school that. Also the first company took a good look at the compressor unlike the second, and determined that I'll need a new base for it, as well as leveling it out, which is included.

Yeah, so we got that done this morn. But that's just part of the week, we spent Friday dealing with Apple as we have the court order giving me access to his iCloud, its not exactly obvious how to handle it, which boils down to mail it to Apple in CA. Yes, Apple, not legal, not beneficiary department, just Apple, and they'll sort it out. Umm, wanna guess what my confidence level is on this?

Friday was also the first AC/furnace quote. Monday was the plumber, we're getting a new water heater too, I prolly shouldn't use them because they're a bit over priced, but meh, just get it done. Oh, and I think it was Friday I was informed that the estate packed from the court is done and should be on its way to me. And my taxes got finished Tues, so when I got home today, I finally got to reviewing that.

Oh, and I proofread fan fic, and an author I regularly do stuff for dropped an 83 page (in gDocs) story on me.

And Sat I did flea market selling of some estate items, but that's been a waste of time and money. And since I was working that day, Friday had been grocery shopping and accounting.

All this plus work and chores

Let's see, tomorrow is work, Sat is work, Sun and Mon might be work, might be estate work if'n the packet shows up, but definitely mowing the lawn in there, it needs being done. And of course usually chores, grocery shopping and banking.

I think I'm a bit tiredโ€ฆ Just a bit

@jenniebreeden God this feels like a parasocial high school reunion or something. "Oh hey there! Are you still with what's his face? Ah I see you have kids now, that's nice! Oh me? Well you never knew me in the first place, so ya know..."
