This was a pretty thorough amount of work that took a few hours and cost a chunk of money, but that\u2019ll make the estimation from the remaining plumber (who will be coming on Thursday) a lot more straightforward.Today\u2019s plumber estimates that the necessary plumbing work will be around $3000, plus however much it costs to redo the tiling. He said there\u2019s tilers that his company works with which might work well although scheduling is difficult at present. And they\u2019d be able to limit the amount of tiling work that needs to be redone, at least.Anyway on Thursday I should have the final estimate for the plumbing stuff and then I can try working with the bathroom contractor in terms of who\u2019s paying for all this. Or maybe he\u2019d be able to prove the quality of his new crew by doing it for free but I\u2019d have no reason to trust him to do a good job at this point.Ugh.",

After IndieWebCamp San Diego this weekend, I’m thinking more about making it easier to post to my website using handwritten text. Index cards are particularly useful for short notes and status updates for this.

IndieWebCamp San Diego 2023-12-17
My goal for the day 2 at camp is to get my site set up so that I can type a post and with a quick photo send it to my website as a post there. As a reach goal, I’d also like to get alt-text working as well for accessibility. I’m hoping I can leverage some of my prior work on posting handwritten posts to get this all done. #IndieWeb #FTW

Feeling overwhelmed and like some things are just meaningless, but I got a short little walk in for my stupid mental health. The sun felt good at least.

I’ve been looking over Mike Hoerger’s Pandemic Mitigation Collaborative - Data Tracker which estimates and projects daily new COVID cases in the US based on wastewater levels. I think it’s pretty accessible and makes it more obvious how risky it actually is out there.
From the 2023-12-04 report, we’re at an estimated 1.2 million new cases per day. About 1 in 38 people are infectious. In a group of 10 people, there’s a 23% chance anyone is infectious. This is more transmission than during 88.9% of the pandemic. The data tracker link above has a video where he explains the methodology for these numbers.
Wastewater levels are rising as we head into yet another winter surge even earlier this year. Let’s keep each other safe out there by wearing well-fitting respirators, filtering the air, improving ventilation, and staying up to date with our vaccines. 😷💚
