squandered

i truly regret migrating from windows to ubuntu - after all that, the performance of my windows VM is pitiful the moment i try to use it for development and it causes my linux box to freeze irrecoverably more than host windows ever does. after spending most of my weekend on this, i'm feeling exhausted, frustrated, and confident that my coworkers (and all other users who love linux) are suffering from stockholm syndrome.

our day was a mix-and-match of emotions, good and bad behaviour, a visit to the mall (which at least two of us are never in the mood for), and spending some time with kibbutz cousin and her sister and brother-in-law. and then, after putting mr smear to bed, i finally decided to add a feature to my phone control system and discovered that the service had been down for a couple of days because of a certificate issue.

because linux, i guess. i figure it's high time i moved this this to the cloud, at least AWS and CDK take care of all the stupid stuff.

oh, and i've got hectic post-nasal drip.

i'm so over this. at least it looks like mr smear should be back at school tomorrow.
