The stepmania packages on AUR are such a mess hahahaha. Anyway, starting out
2026 by pulling out the old dance mat (after a year of not playing due to
breaking my ankle at the start of 2025). I've missed this game.
I feel like there's more and more of a tendency to do installations into
~/.local or Docker containers or similar, instead of /usr. I guess I can
understand the rationale, but I do miss the times I felt like my package
manager took care of everything.
I really don't have a concept of holiday. Woke up on New Year's Eve and went straight into a 3-hour work meeting.
oh yeah, I get to update my Common App profile to say "Dr. Evan Chen" instead of "Mr. Evan Chen". One of the few places that might actually make a difference...
I think a lot of people who write to me asking for advice actually are asking for therapy. And it's like, I do want to help, but I don't actually know how.
