DO NOT REDEEM! DO NOT REDEEEEEM!!!

It was a few years ago, but I still panic when I hear the incoming call sound. One of the worst sounds ever made.

Now it was a few years ago I used it regularly last time, but moving to Slack was a huge relief.

One thing I remember with teams is that sending files was always a hassle. Sometimes files didn’t arrive. Files couldn’t have the same name as other previously sent files (because everything was in a onedrive folder).

Slack has much better search. It felt like I could finally find the messages I wanted to find. With teams it was a gamble.

And then there’s much better bot integration. At my work we have multiple bots that send messages when there’s e.g. production errors. We can then start thread discussions directly on that posts about the error, or link it to other channels to escalate the issue. And with a working search engine we can easily find the conversation again as a reference.

It got many small things that just adds value.

Unfortunately it’s the exciting politics that gets all the attention. Democrats likely lost because they’re just too boring.

Are people forgetting his Dijon Mustard scandal? Unforgivable.

Do you know why?

The type is dynamic. It can be whatever you wish.

Some person I just met at a party asked me if I have Asperger’s. He explained he has Asperger’s himself and just wondered.

I thought it was a rude remark of him. Especially since we barely know each other. I certainly don’t have Asperger’s.

This was some years ago.

Either way, I just got diagnosed.

Even when computers did improve and became able to handle Vista people weren’t willing to change their minds about it. Windows 7 had a 1GB memory requirement. Why didn’t more people use Vista right before the Windows 7 launch?

Vista shows how important the initial reputation is. Everybody had made up their mind to hate it, even if the hate wasn’t fully justified. There wasn’t much Microsoft could do about it, other than releasing Windows 7.

Windows 8 on the other hand was genuinely bad.

Windows 7 recovered from the disaster of Vista. Windows XP recovered from Me. It has been a bumpy ride for a long time.

What a legend!

A few years ago it was sensational when someone managed to clear a few levels in max speed. Now all max speed levels have been beaten.

What’s next for NES Tetris? Feels like it’s more of an endurance game now.

I’m 30-ish, and started to get into a few dates just this year.

I’m not sure why it has taken so long. Maybe it’s because of social anxiety that has taken long time learning how to manage.

I haven’t been on a particularly good date yet though.
