About ten years ago a flying squirrel snuck into my house and spent a few hours playing hide-and-seek with my cat. Anyways. Here's the best photo you're likely to ever see of a flying squirrel hiding inside a #sunmicrosystems E4000 server chassis. #retrocomputing #mammals

my mac should notify me automatically if i have been working/active for >30 minutes on home wifi and using battery. instead i use a whole battery cycle and get down to 10% before it reminds me to plug in.
