Bloc party

[infryq]

Yesterday I delivered the aggregations, fixed the auto validation, iterated a bit on the dashboard, and implemented a new version of the community signal. Chatted a bunch with the other senior staff about shuffling teams after this week to get Forecasting more personnel. Spent the rest of the day watching DS9 and working on the White. I polished another section of the rim of the drive/hand wheel, then let the dremel cool off while I reassembled most of the head of the machine. The top tension knob will take some work to get it to sit properly; it may need another washer or something.

Dinner, crossword, DS9, snack, sleep. Epic, tragic, ultimately triumphant dreams about a surveillance future where all nonconformant people are either eliminated or forced to live in a wilderness where drones periodically dispose of trash. Tentacle things. Secret email addresses. Brainwashing. Class conflict. Intrigue. Private escort companies. Autonomous skiffs. Hacked implants. Augmented glass. Camera tripods with telescoping legs thirty feet long. Road construction; unfinished parking pads. Salesmanship. Secret messages in the form of the day’s cafeteria offerings. New names. Escape.
