lauradi7dwmindstalkI finally rented a bicycle in Japan. It took some effort: paying for a Mobal eSIM, it being the only easy way of getting a phone number. Going to an office to show my passport and get the process started. Getting back home and finishing signup or something. Waiting for someone to actually activate the number the next morning. Then figuring out how install the new eSIM (actually confusingly easy), and panic because my Google Voice wasn't sending texts. (Turns out G Voice simply does not send SMS outside of the US or Canada.) ( Read more... )
mindstalkThis morning I got up and out much earlier than usual -- particularly out, showering and getting dressed without stopping by my laptop. So by 8 AM I was wandering around, getting morning sun, and observing all the other people out, going to school or strolling or whatnot. The shopping street just north of me was still depressingly shuttered, but activity was high. Walking. Biking. Wheelchairs in the middle of the street.
On seeing the wheelchairs I realized: "no cars", and while these streets are usually low-traffic, this seemed to be no-traffic, and an expectation thereof. So I paid more attention to the signs, and found: ( Read more... )
waterswordTHERE ARE AT LEAST THREE (3) TINY ASPARAGUS SPEARS POKING THEIR HEADS UP IN MY GARDEN!!!
I went up to grimly continue tearing out the god damn creeping charlie, and there were actual tiny asparagus stalks emerging! They aren't dead!
And the rhubarb is continuing to grow!
I am so pleased.

dw_maintenanceI keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.
Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)
We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.
