Hey, want some more unfinished music? I really do want to finish this one eventually but I lost a lot of plugins I used to make this...
Wish there was one single day at work where I didn’t go “ok I’m really confused now”.
Link to music <3
You know you’re on a German train when you get asked if you want cold beer at a quarter to nine in the morning

Someone tried to connect to my MUD via their browser and because of how character creation works right now, that kind of worked so there's now a player standing in Crossed Candles Inn with the user name "GET / HTTP/1.1"

In 1998, a programmer who had been working on Y2K fixes started to get anxious because he couldn't believe how pervasive the problem was. He switched from company to company trying to get away from it, but everywhere he went he became regarded as the Y2K expert and immediately became the team lead for that company's Y2K contingencies. He finally had a nervous breakdown, quit his job, and decided he wanted to be knocked unconscious when the Y2K actually came about.
A month before Y2K he was put into an artificial coma and cooled down to a near cryogenic easily sustained long term life support.
Unfortunately the life support notification system had a Y2K bug, and no one revived him for 8000 years.
Finally he was found and revived. He woke up, and saw himself surrounded by lots of glass, light, stainless steel, and tall beautiful people in white robes. He asked if he was in Heaven.
They replied, "No, this is Chicago. Actually but it's a lot like Heaven to someone like you."
"Someone like me?"
"You are from the 20th century. Many of the problems that existed in your lifetime have been solved for thousands of years. There is no hunger and no disease. There is no scarcity, or strife between races and creeds."
"What year is it now?"
"Yeah, about that - it's the year 9,998. You see, the year 10,000 is coming up, and we understand you know something called COBOL?"

Have a happy little synth doodle! I was considering streaming music production as someone that has no sight...and building synths like these from scratch without being able to see the UI of the synths at all. Would anyone be interested? Or maybe code? Or...whatever?
Weird how some things remain in your memory as if they happened yesterday, and others disappear as soon as you stop thinking about them. The most random stuff, too. Things where you think...why...why did I remember this so clearly?
Relationship, new year
Happy new year Europeans of the fediverse...and anyone else!

i typed some stuff into my completely wireless laptop and pressed a button and it propagated what i typed to hundreds of people all around the world. i now occupy a box on your screen and many others. hi.
Somehow just got the feeling that I should probably delete most of the apps on my phone and stop visiting the sites that suck up most of my time like SoundCloud and YouTube. Also kinda wanna run away from technology altogether for a week or two but can't do that alone or I'd go literally insane. And yeah...that's why. That's exactly it, isn't it?
OK time to learn this very easy and definitely humanly playable piano piece! :D

Something feels really off about today.
Wanted to take vacation for the rest of the year. Requested last week. HR is on vacation. No vacation for me. Yay!
This drop makes me sooo happy for some reason
