Okay so I guess there are two technology-related regrets that I have. The first is trading in my Nokia N900 for a Galaxy Note. I should have kept the N900 for tinkering. The second is chucking out my Sony minidisc player. I don't even remember when I got rid of it. I'm feeling the need to pull away from modern smartphones and those two things would go nicely with a dumbphone, or even a RUSP. Assuming the phone could be used as a wifi hotspot of course.
I mean it's probably just a mid-life crisis thing, but still.

So! I passed my citizenship test, so the ball is in their court. We'll see if it takes another year for them to get back to me.
In other news I'm coming out of a case of the morbs, so it's nice to feel energised again. Tonight I'm going to get my bicycle working again. This $2.20/l petrol price malarky is bullshit.

I'm eligible to take the Canadian Citizenship test, it's online because plague times. I'm slightly annoyed that I have to install chrome in order to take the test but it's not the end of the world. Half an hour under the gaze of my webcam, hopefully I can remember everything from the study guide.

I haven't been doing much this week, just vegging on the couch watching Bob's Burgers. Just one of those weeks. Though last weekend while I was hanging out on SDF's com, during Snowdusk's show and one of the SDF members validated my account! I wasn't sure what happened for a day or two, and it didn't say who it was but on the off chance you're reading this, thank you very much! SDF is a really neat concept in general (and I think Tilde is a similar thing?) and it's kinda wierd that I only just learned of its existence. I've been extremely online for twenty years, pretty much entirely in nerd circles. Oh well, it's still neat.

Well spring is definitely here. Clouds of bugs that like to eat humans coming to have a sample of exotic foreign blood (mine lol)

For the last few day I haven't been able to connect to any SDF cluster hosted gemini capsules. I get connection refused. Meta array ones are fine, though. I have no idea how to report this. I'm still learning the bboard program. Oh well, I'm sure it'll come around sooner or later.

I checked out anonradio tonight. It was pretty great! Kinda takes me back to the old days (early '00s) when I'd be on IRC with friends while one of them played DJ with winamp's shoutcast thing. Damn good times.

Oh boy! So this isn't the right place to put this, I suppose, but it's the first online thing I thought of. I've been in Canada for about seven years now, and I applied for citizenship last year. Today I got an email from immigration telling me to sit the citizenship exam! I've never been excited for an exam before 😅

Quick emoji test. 💩

Trying out this gemini thing! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it... I've never really had a proper website, and the last time I had a blog it was a livejournal lol
