Never send a human to do a machine's job

Wrote a “hello world” (plus a lot more because I can’t stop myself) Slack bot tonight. hardest part was that it’s easy to come up with documentation and tutorials that are deprecated. looking forward to digging into this more, it’s a delight.

SIFF is in April this year and I don’t know what to do. sitting in theaters full of unmasked people every day for a couple weeks, two to six hours a day plus queuing and transit rides doesn’t feel good to me. There are still streaming options but that was depressing last time. Maybe I restrict myself to a six pack (that still feels like a lot) at the Bay where I know they have modern ventilation and UV above screen level. I hate weighing this out.

I never got more than a six pack for SIFF. Ex & I could never agree on enough movies!

i enjoyed going by myself in the before times. in a typical year i would see anywhere from 40 to 70 films depending on how much time i had off.

I've been struggling with SIFF, too. I bought two six-packs for the 2020 fest. I've since used one part of one to renew my membership but nothing else so far.

A friend and I saw Drive My Carin one of the small theaters. It was okay but the audience was small as it was a weeknight and the film had been running for a couple of weeks. The idea of being in that enclosed space during the festival itself? I don't know.

The only good thing is the vouchers don't expire and can be used for regular films.
