I’ve been experiencing a lot of β€œlost-algia”.. nostalgia but for I don’t know what? Or maybe nostalgia for something I don’t remember or never had? Likely a weird offshoot of my depression and is very frustrating yet hopeful? Okonono

I am newly reminded that I'm sad that modern English has largely eliminated six of its nine major prepositional locative adverbs. Each had a prefix indicating the place and a suffix indicating the direction:

h-: "this place"
th-: "that place"
wh-: "what place?"
and
-ere: "in such a place"
-ence: "from such a place"
-ither: "to such a place"

The surviving forms, of course, are "here" ("in this place"), "there" ("in that place"), and "where" ("in what place?"). But we used to have

hence: "from this place"
hither: "to this place"
thence: "from that place"
thither: "to that place"
whence: "from what place?"
whither: "to what place?"

and I think our language is poorer for their elimination.

The only aspect I’ve been missing from the office are the views across the river/city where is stare while thinking, resting my eyes. As a result I have an eye-strain migraine today from not resting my eyes enough. It took 3 weeks to get to this stage, with the last 10 days of 16+ hrs monitor+laptop daily. Not too bad, probably only minor life adjustment required.

LudoCherry: Stylish tabletop shirts and skirts

A friend of mine from Melbourne launched her Kickstarter this morning. It's for a range of cool tabletop game themed clothes. The polka dots have d20s in them, and the skirts have pockets. Go take a look! I'm off to back it for a shirt…

It's amazing how some people can make things look complicated that aren't. My former employ used Redis, and the whole thing looked like a Black Art. Now looking at it myself, and I'm like "is that IT?"

Now trying to find something I can use it for.

If your executives inform you that they find it outrageous that 40% of all sick days taken by employees happen to fall on a Monday or a Friday...

...and the silence that ensues when you point out that Mondays and Fridays simply account for 40% of all workdays πŸ˜‚

Being human has some great perks, like waking up one morning to find your shoulder no longer works, and will take 6+ months of physio and potentially more serious intervention to get it working again πŸ˜• (adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder)
