Three years ago I built my wiki server and the wiki has grown to 409 pages. I still need to move it to a 64-bit server in order to run the latest version of wiki.

I think folks who are serious about “tools for thought” should check out the work of Linus Lee. Linus has a different point of view on the topic that includes developing one’s own tools for thought, which thus are highly optimized to one’s thinking, but also focuses more on what to do after one writes stuff down rather than on the writing.

We had above normal temperatures yesterday but work prevented me from getting outside enough. It was a glorious sun.

Looks like all those millions of workers quitting their jobs, aka “the great resignation,” are not lazy, they are going in to business for themselves.

Finished reading: No Cure for Being Human: And Other Truths I Need to Hear by Kate Bowler 📚 The writing in this book is all too relatable to me. A quote:

While I believe that there may be rich meaning at every crossroad in our lives—each meeting and departure, car accident or chance encounter—I do not believe that God will provide for every need or prevent every sorrow. From my hospital room, I see no master plan to bring me to a higher level, guarantee my growth, or use my cancer to teach me. Good or bad, I will not get what I deserve. Nothing will exempt me from the pain of being human.

Most of us know and are faced daily with what is to be human but spend little time thinking about Being.

The more articles I read about COVID19 the more frustrated I get with the lack of availability of affordable rapid testing in the United States. Throughout the pandemic we have suffered from the desire for certainty and perfection. Perfection is the enemy of the better. Rapid tests won’t detect all cases, so they don’t guarantee one is not infected, BUT if a rapid test is positive you then clearly know you are a threat to spreading the infection to others and should definitely stay home, which is more information than the average person has before they walk out the door.

I am connecting the Macbook Air to the BenQ Monitor, which I have configured as the primary display with the display extending to the internal display of the Macbook. I expect the macOS dock should appear on the BenQ but I haven’t figured out how to make it consistently appear. It seems if I move the mouse cursor to just the right spot at the bottom of the display then the dock appears and stays, but not until then. If I move the mouse to the bottom of the internal display the dock then appears there and goes away from the BenQ. Given Apple’s reputation, I am surprised by this inconsistent behavior.. or perhaps this is just user error?

MLB Free Agent signings are picking up and so far the Cubs are sitting on the sidelines. I am starting to be pessimistic about the ownership’s commitment to being competitive, there is the appearance of just collecting money from Wrigley Field tickets, betting, and all the non-baseball operations. In other words, a repeat of prior ownership that lead to 100 years of playoff futility. I really wish Mark Cuban had bought the team when he had the chance, I would not doubt his commitment to winning.

The snow started falling at noon but is letting up now. As you can see, not a lot of accumulation but enough to make it look winter-like. Would have liked to have the snow on Thanksgiving.
