Toot with a pin
Want to assist with oulipo translation? You can kibitz on non-compliant strings at https://oulipo.link/5AGDIR
Right-click on a string and add your oulipo-compliant translation in a pop-up kibitzing form.
Thanks!
(Only low-hanging fruit shows up in this tool; difficult-to-track-down strings don't.)
Work today:
A: Work is starting on our intran--
B: Don't call it that! That word is boring. You can call it a portal, if you want. That's not a moribund association, which ... that first thing ... has.
A: A portal to what? To information? *thinks* How about I call it an intranot?
I just bought a Spotify account for work. I don't know what to think about that.
Happy birthday, Oulipo! And in two days, happy two annum mark for our most old toot (first two days of history got lost in a db crash, I think): https://oulipo.social/@mus/1
Modulo a bad glyph or two which snuck in to our UI again, as with most updatings.
Things that did go wrong:
1. ... nothing? That I know of?
Huh.
Midnight oulipo updating! What could go wrong? (Don't list things that could go wrong with that.)

it to him too on
It's back! My prognostication about how long it would go down for was right on, too. *cough*
ATTN: This instantiation will soon go down for upgrading. Back up in 15 60ths of an hour, with any luck.
Instantiation Notification: Mastodon v2.7.0 is out, and I am anticipating installing it tonight (5+ hours from now, say). I'll post again just prior to taking things down for upgrading.
Not planning to go to work's big Annum Novum party. For a longstanding PNW institution, this party is looking awfully NYC-ish.
And I ❤️ food trucks, but for how much cash admission costs, I want a snack and a drink (not just bubbly for a midnight toast) thrown in gratis.
I'm cranky about all this cross-promotional sponsorship, too. Bah, humbug.
It's... back? On try #1? Huh.
And you know that "could" is actually "will", right?
A major upgrading of Mastodon today could put our instantiation out of commission for a bit, on and off, starting soon. Sorry!
I did a bot again, but it can't post to this spot. It posts about romantic/smutty books it thinks up, using a list of books you can find at a library as its writing prompt: https://oulipo.link/nU7OKv
Sorry about that unavailability just now! Upgrading from 2.4.* to 2.5.1 was tricky-ish.
A bunch of UI strings to fix, now. Or tomorrow.
Jumping through hoops for "PCI compliant" status. This is a thing I do on four occasions annually, at minimum. I didn't know I was signing up for this. *sigh*
A guy at work today, talking about suds from a local pub: "similar to an armpit full of hops"
An apt turn of phrasing.
