Turns out my little escapade in the ER last month is going to cost me, or at least my health savings account, $1900. Had I not looked on the discharge paperwork and realized they had the wrong address written down for me, the bill would have went to someone else.
Went into my local AT&T store to pay off a device and cancel the associated line. The store was happy to take my money to pay off the device but told me I had to call to cancel service because they no longer had the ability to do so.
Tried to cancel the service online..same thing.
Meanwhile, after waiting a half hour on hold and listening to the upsell pitch…I finally was able to get it done.
Companies sure don't make it easy to discontinue service.
@matigo At least I now know what aria-labels are. Not sure how you’re supposed to create these labels for multiple languages at once. Or Japanese.
Now I've gone from rebranding to making the website more "Web Accessible" because of upcoming EU regulations.
When did I become a fucking web developer again?
I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

Scary thing is that I know the man who kept this fire on the Big Island at bay [hawaiinewsnow.com]. Mr. Hall was a teacher of mine in high school. He was the one who taught me the importance of being able to communicate technical knowledge effectively.
Hard for me to have even more respect for this man who touched so many people.
Managed to clean the second floor of the condo, went to the laundromat to wash a comforter that had been needing it for months, got a haircut, and went out for a walk on a new trail that opened up earlier this year.
Not bad for a day off.
@variablepulserate one of my “before and after” weight loss photos appears in the documentary.
@variablepulserate the only part the device itself did was make a single MP3 of the tape side. Think a Walkman with a MicroSD slot to record tapes on.
The rest was me in Audacity chopping into individual tracks, doing a little noise reduction, and adding ID3 tags in Apple Music.
Still a satisfying result.
After four tries, I finally got a tape player that actually works and does a reasonable job turning a cassette into an MP3.
