<description>Tonight was the annual Athens Christmas parade, also known as (by a friend of mine, anyway) &ldquo;Athens Annual Let’s Do Weird Shit Day&rdquo;. I&rsquo;ve been regaled for years with tales of the strangeness at this parade, ranging from &ldquo;Rotisserie Jesus&rdquo; (a bloody live human Jesus on a spinning cross) to last year&rsquo;s hippy who thought it would be a good idea to use a roadkill great horned owl as a hand puppet and thrust it in the faces of kids lined up along the route.</description>

<description>The Advent of Code is upon us once again. Every year Eric Wastl weaves together a daily series of clever challenges into a delightful story. They can be solved in any language and method you want, including brute force, and I look forward to it every December.
|
||
Which is an odd thing to say maybe considering I&rsquo;ve never made it further than a dozen days in. It just seems like every year the work project I&rsquo;m on catches fire and needs my full attention and my drive to work on coding challenges for fun just fizzles out.</description>

<description>As a software developer that gets loaned out to other companies, I tend to have quite a few &ldquo;first day on the job&rdquo; days. Today was one of them, joining a team working hard to get a new bio-lab robot on the market.
|
||
As is typical with joining a new project, I spent the entire first day trying to figure out why nearly nothing in the README actually worked.
|
||
Computers are the worst.</description>

<description>I used to be a prolific blogger, back in the very early days of the form. Had a few things &ldquo;go viral&rdquo; before that was a thing, meaning they were seen and talked about by dozens of people, but I was comfortably C-list in that small world.
|
||
As my online time got eaten up by other things, like farming and starting a family, my posts became shorter and less frequent and eventually just &hellip; stopped.</description>

<description>I&rsquo;ve come out the other side. Amazingly enough, I only had to reinstall two applications: my virus scanner and web browser. All my email survived. And, my first impressions are great. I like Windows 2000. I am using Stardock&rsquo;s wonderful Object Desktop, so my GUI doesn&rsquo;t even look like Windows to begin with, and changing to W2000 didn&rsquo;t affect me there at all. If you picked up my laptop right now, you would think I was using Apple&rsquo;s OS X.</description>
