Running into pesky classifier issues with #claude? My secret password to get past most of them -- not all, but most.
Got my disk! Also finally got my 15 year disk! Due to a bug on the MVP site, I had never been able to request it. #mvpbuzz support was awesome!

Me: Hey Claude, I need a color scheme for my vibe-coded website. Claude: HEAR ME OUT. What about *tan*?
I wish no harm to anyone, but if you're being hospitalized because you're trying to tokenmax Fable... this is natural selection.
In today's episode of "dumb things I've made with AI", I created a personal start page for the browser. Planning on adding some "Kevin"-specific items to this.
I feel like at this point, #ClaudeCode needs to start using decimals, so I have a better idea of how much time I have left.
Just got an email that I'm a "super organizer" on Meetup. 🥳
My time on the @dotnetfdn has come to an end. This has been quite the experience, to say the least. I have so many thoughts and experiences to digest and write down. That'll take time and can come later. But for now, thanks are in order.
The red squiggle under misspelled words? That was Tony Krueger's idea. Raymond Chen's tribute to the Microsoft dev who made spell-check unobtrusive, after 37 years at MS. RIP. devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing...

TFW Claude takes a high horse and refuses to perform the perfectly reasonable action you asked it to do.
Working on post-mortem thoughts about my work with the #dotnet Foundation. Long shot - but any questions I could answer for y'all about what we did? There isn't much off-limits and probably not all that exciting.
Today's episode of "Dumb Thing I Did With AI": I created a "YMCA" widget for Home Assistant to track my gym's occupancy throughout the day and determine the best time to go based on the data.
BSides Hampton Roads is looking for speakers — October 9-10, 2026, at ODU Webb University Center. This is their inaugural event, making it a perfect opportunity if you've been thinking about sharing something in the cybersecurity space.
The #dotnetfoundation election is using Single Transferable Vote this year. 8 candidates, 3 seats, full ranking required. (Quick correction: earlier email/form had a typo saying you could vote for a subset. That was my mistake — you need to rank all candidates.)
I had to back out of a conference for the dumbest possible reason. For some reason, I thought the event was in a different month, and I accidentally double-booked. Since I haven't figured out how to be in two places at once, I had to lower my head and admit my mistake.
Ballot emails have slowly started rolling out to #dotnetfoundation members. There are two weeks allocated for voting. If you don't receive an email and think you should've, please let me know.
I could spend 10 hours straight at my desk and nobody needs me. First hour I after I leave for an errand, thirty private messages…
Went to the gym, but I forgot my fitness band, so what was even the point?
Sometimes you need to `/clear` your own context and start fresh. It's okay to close all the windows and browser tabs.
