The repercussions of “4”, are going to haunt the internet for a long time. It took years to clean up the mess from ‘heart bleed’. I don’t want to do IT anymore. *wanders off to stare into the void* #itsecurity #tls #tlscertificates #PatchYourShit

Some stuff someone found on the back of a shelf in the warehouse, and told the new intern to find a way to sell it. 🤢😖 Mind you, I like Earl Grey tea. I was drinking it long before “Tea, Earl Grey. Hot!” was ever a thing. But this stuff is just random dried leaves and grass. #Tea #EarlGrey

Does anyone recognize this image? I think it was an original Apple stock wallpaper/background image, but I don’t remember from what iOS version or what it was called. #Apple #iOS #wallpaper #images

I don’t always make good decisions. But the best decision I’ve ever made in my life happened 23 years ago when I replied to a simple “Hi” online from the man who is now my husband. I can’t imagine what life would be like without him. #Anniversary

Today is our first “Gotcha Day” with Four. One year ago today I heard this frantic “mew mew mew” outside the bathroom window. Someone had dumped a <1 month old kitten in our driveway. Now, he rules the house and the RV. How it started, and how it’s going: #CatsOfMastodon #FourTheCat

I present to you, a ‘Dark N Mostly Cloudy’. It’s what you get when you want a ‘Dark N Stormy’, but you’re a slacker and don’t have any lime or even bottled lime juice at home.
