My Lunchbox joke of the day was going to be:

What did the doctor say when he was checking to boy who swallowed a roll of film?

"Let's hope nothing develops!"

But I'm pretty sure my girls have never *seen* a roll of film and might not even know what it means to "develop" it...

Anybody else see "ECMAScript' and read it "EMACScript'? Or is my 30 yours of Emacs experience just clouding my mind?

Morning Mastodonians! Had a pretty quiet 4th, much to the chagrin of my daughters, who were looking for some excitement. I did fix our pressure washer - is that exciting enough for you?

Unfortunately, the pool is still out of commission, but I'm hoping it gets the new liner this Sunday.

Had fun with Shadow Warrior 2 with 2 of my buddies. We'll start over with all 4 of us, on a harder level.

Taking a React class on edx.org, my favorite MOO platform, so I can forget about iOS for awhile.

Morning Mastodonians! Got out for another bike ride this morning (rnkpr.com/ajow9mk) but I'm going to have to do it more than once a week if I want to get into better shape! It was still nice, although even at 6am, direct sun was very hot.

Some pretty good World Cup games yesterday. That literally last second goal by Belgium was incredible.

Watched "High Fidelity" with my daughters - one of my fave movies and one that has a realistic relationship. They liked it too.

Back to iOS. Grrr

Dad Lunchbox Joke of the Day: What did the doctor say to the patient after surgery? Show more

Morning Mastodonians! Amazing I don't do this on the weekends, but I hardly even get to the keyboard, even to play games! Graduation party coming up, so the "Honey Do" list is a mile long and 3 miles wide. Spent the 103˚F afternoon yesterday emptying the pool to get ready for a new liner. That was fun. Now I just need to get the new cord for the pressure washer so I can start hosing things down. Ah, the life of a home owner and parent...

Still in iOS land. Ugh.

Morning Mastodonians! A little late today, busy with bill paying (it's payday!), and putting the final touches on my big iOS change (fingers crossed).

Just posted a great new song by Illuminati Hotties called Patience on my music blog: vehementflame.com/2018/06/illu - give it a listen!

I'm enjoying one of the games I got for Father's Day - The Colonists, altho I can see how AP can strike. Wish I could just find the time to sit down and play it. Maybe I can play while watching the World Cup tomorrow?

Morning Mastondonians! We're already getting some cracking good thunderstorms and it promise to be humid and rainy all day. Good day to stay at the keyboard.

We finished up Borderlands Prequel last night. It's pretty much a grind and everyone was glad to see it finished, TBH. Now we have to figure out what to play next. 4 player co-ops aren't exactly common.

Still struggling with iOS and blocking main threads. Ugh. Need to work on a test app to figure it out.

Morning Mastodonians! Haven't been sleeping well. Slow to fall off, waking up too often and sometimes not falling back to sleep. Which is odd for me, as sleep isn't normally a problem. Sure impacts my productivity, esp. in the afternoon! Monster Energy can only do so much.

Well, my bud and I finished Saints Row III. Pretty fun, even if the ending was bizarre. Now onto SR IV.

Tonight, back to 4 player Borderlands: Prequel.

Played some more Blackguards as well. Pretty fun.

"iPhone is disabled.
Try again in 14,864 minutes"

Ha! That's 10 days from now...

Pretty spectacular World Cup game between Brazil and Costa Rica. I'm usually a big underdog rooter, but Brazil deserved that win. Costa Rica worked very hard, but Brazil worked harder and finally came through.

Woo wee - prepare for steamy ahead! @st_vincent remakes her own "Slow Disco" song from Masseduction by giving it a real steam disco treatment. Fantastic!

Morning Mastodonians! Finally got the Craigslist ad for our camper ready and posted. It's sad to sell it but we just don't use enough to justify the expense. If you're interested in a wonderful family camper (sleeps 11!) check it out here: bit.ly/2yrV01A

Favorite World Cup goal from yesterday? Modic's blast from beyond the penalty area. I don't understand why they don't try that more. Most annoying thing? Signaling you get the throwin when it is obviously off you.

Back to iOS. Ugh.

We're selling our camper in Maine, if you're interested. Sleeps 11, fantastic family camper: bit.ly/2yrV01A
