On Mastodon, we are the algorithm.

Besides things that matter to me personally, I have a policy of always boosting job openings and job hunting posts. I generally try to boost other posts that might useful to other readers, or where someone is looking for information in a non-annoying way, even if it is not a topic that interests me strongly.

As a former librarian I also tend to boost publication announcements unless they are very badly structured...

That's my algorithm.

Nyx owns the house now, including the tall cat tree (especially when I have annoyed her by chasing her off the stereo receiver). She loves laying in the sun on window sills, and on the office desk which is next to the window, and I don't know how she can stand so much hot sunlight on all of that black fur. She gets annoyed if I close the blinds to keep the sun off me.

The new house is complete. By the end of the month, 32 months after the Marshall Fire, the last few punch-list items will be finished.

The solar system needs an inspection, and activation on the power company side, but the construction project is done.

for new server: I'm a retired software engineer and long-time but very intermittently active member of the SCA (the hobby for people who collect hobbies) I follow a lot of writers, artists, and academics: including history, history of books and history of religion. I'm an unpublished writer of (very) alternate universe fantasy modeled after unusual time periods and cultures

My house burned in the 12/30/2021 Marshall Fire and Wind Event. Moved into new one 6/25/2024.

@nazgul Having just rebuilt after a fire that even damaged the concrete of the foundation...
Even if you have reasonable amounts of insurance, unless the limits on your policy were updated within the past year or two, it won't cover rebuilding: construction costs have exploded. My builders kept being surprised by some of the costs, and some things I priced out just after the fire were much more expensive 2 years later when we were ready to buy them.
