- Dumb little guy that lives in my house A black and white dog sitting on the floor. The dog is mid yawn.
- This guy has been gaming a lot A black and white dog asleep on a sofa. He’s resting his head on a pillow. The dog is wearing a camouflage shirt with orange accents. There’s a Nintendo Switch controller below his head on the pillow.
- Doggo defining the laws of physics. (He fell off the bed after this was taken) A black and white dog laying in their side on a gray mattress. The dogs body extends past the edge of the bed in a way where one would think he would have fallen off the edge by now.
- The spot A rocky beach with some bits of trash lying around. There’s some greenery. In the background across the water are some buildings. In the foreground is some concrete pavement and a black and white dog is standing on it.
- This guy needed to be sedated so the vet could get a foxtail from his ear 😩 A close up of my dogs face on a operating table. He appears to be knocked out with his eyes slightly opens and his tongue slightly sticking out of his mouth.

I'm excited about working on some Web Performance "lab monitoring" at work but the initial runs are not great. Hoping that there are easy fixes that get us to be a lot more performant.

I got a dog about a week ago. His name is Tofu.

I tooted a little git command joke on Fosstodon the other day.
I imagine that git terminal users like me often mis-type the commands and I'm a fan of injecting humor into my daily life. The way I created the above screenshot is by creating a git alias. Normally you git alias different git commands but you can actually execute any command as a git alias by prepending the command with a exclamation.
$ git config --get alias.ranch !imgcat ~/Downloads/cowbow-kitten.png
Someone actually replied to my toot that I should alias common misspellings of commands as their right commands but I've already got
help.autocorrect
set on my git config.I'm not sure why it's not mentioned in the docs but I've got mine set to
-1
so that the autocorrect is executed immediately.
