Social Notes

Short posts that are often pushed to social media (a.k.a. tweets).

  • I just realized that, somehow, I didn’t add any of my allergy meds into my weekly medicine holder thing. And today I’m feeling it. Hard.

  • Austin’s Prop Q, approving a property tax increase for a variety of things, doesn’t look like it’ll pass based on the about half of the votes cast. IMO, too much loose spending by the city lately & too bleak of an economic outlook for people to feel great about this. #atx

  • Reminder: Just because you dislike the results of an election does not mean the election was rigged, invalid, or any of those things. Need actual evidence. #uspol

  • Holy cow! Vandegrift HS Band’s equipment trailer was hit by a train on their way to perform at the 6A State Band Contest! Other bands helping lend equipment and their performance time was pushed back a few hours. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/vandegrift-high-school-band-equipment-trailer-train-san-antonio/269-f8f8b894-fb33-44e5-8d8b-f672cc486396 #marchingband

  • The AWS outage didn’t impact my day-to-day work, but the Azure outage has. We use Playwright for e2e testing and it can’t download Firefox (from it’s own mirror), so a lot of failing builds for us right now. Oh, the irony that a Microsoft outage prevents access to Firefox. #devops

  • I feel like, when a service charges a cancellation fee, they should do something when they cancel on you.
