Reset the ‘days since install’ counter on my X1 Carbon… During the multi-hour process last night I accidentally deleted my entire email account ON THE SERVER SIDE, and just noticed at lunchtime. Luckily between Fastmail’s restore system, and my new ZFS snapshots (reason for the full re-install), I think I’m all good now 🤞.

Working on a fun Clojure project to help parse my wife’s work time-sheets. Snagged by a simple noon/midnight (AM/PM) bug. Ugh. If the data was already in 24-hour time I wouldn’t have to do (mod hour 12). More importantly… why aren’t the shifts in 24-hour-time in the first place? It’s a 24/7 hospital system?!?!

Is it even possible to buy a used ThinkPad with a good battery 😆? Usually, they just have poor capacity but this one was fully failed. At least I hope it’s just the battery. A new one is on the way… 🤞.
