Other Places I Post
I have two other LJs: cosmusic, coslinks
See what links I've been reading on del.icio.us (coslinks),
and what links I've been posting on reddit (cos).
Update: I abandoned delicious in 2016 after they'd been deterioriating for a few years, and I now post links on pinboard instead.

Crossposting no longer working, come to Dreamwidth
When I moved from LJ to dreamwidth after LJ adopted rules against political and "activist" speech (probably forced to do so by the Russian government), I set it up to crosspost automatically so everything I posted on dreamwidth came here too.

Moderna booster
When Ceila scheduled her Moderna booster shot and texted me about it, her phone keyboard or speech-to-text rendered it as "Madonna booster". So that's what we've been calling it ever since. I'm going to get my Madonna booster this week. Yes I know it wouldn't make any difference to boost Madonna with Pfizer instead, but this happens to be what ( Read more... ) -
FedEx is the worst
Another installment in a long series of FedEx failures over many years...
According to tracking, my replacement macbook arrived at a FedEx facility in Seattle on Wednesday evening. However it was scheduled for delivery Friday by 1pm, not Thursday. Oh well, it's not an overnight or 2-day package, I guess that's fine.
Friday morning, their ( Read more... ) -
We are hiring a lot more tech people, want to work here?
The department I work for is looking for software developers, cloud engineers, SREs, product managers, and probably a bunch of other roles I haven't thought of. If you may want to come here (virtually), let me know and we can talk about what it's like, and I could refer you.
I've been working at McGraw Hill since early 2020. A couple of years ( Read more... )
