Down into the 40s this morning; quite surprised how much it kicked off my SAD. Strong November vibes.

Rescued an x201 from the scrap heap. Bought a new battery for it and it plays nice. They do have a distinct smell when they get warm.

Went to the North Shore to have a look at LST-325 on its seasonal visit along the river. Wanted to get onboard but queues were crazy. It's a lot bigger than I'd imagined. they look compact on all the old wartime photos. Backlit, but what can you do.

I made it very clear on Friday nobody would be working today. I still get email from Faculty asking for stuff. Drives me nuts.

@KeepTakingTheSoma @HebrideanHecate The weirdest thing I have *ever* seen on social media is the assertion that this is empowering. So many people say this it is just bizarre.

@woltiv I don't hate it. I actually really got used to what I suppose you'd call the clean design, but you make plenty of great points.

@tk Also very nice. I e been rocking a mini at work and it's been flawless for three years now.

It should. They're great workstations.

@h_thoreson I'm sure it doesn't! Tomorrow is another day.
