Sketchy Elf, who knew?
I was invited to the Kava Bar for Open Mic Night to watch some friends perform, and one of the patrons decided to do some urban sketching. Well, they decided to use my silly self as a subject and I'm Totally happy with the outcome. Not a bad likeness.
Always worth a laugh.
I sort of had a good reason this time.
Ok so running elfLand on a new server now. Because of the CentOS debacle, I'm switching to Alma Linux like pretty much everyone else.
So anyway, when I'm testing a new server build I generally move all of my crap over first to see what breaks. With BackDrop, NextCloud, WordPress, Matomo, and a few other things running on the nice new Apache/PHP/PHP-FPM/MariaDB/APCu it gets a workout.
This aged quite well in fact.
I read the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything.

@Rainmaker1973 "Have Crossed" goddamnit!
Not Future Tense, Past Tense.
We need to get over this shit and use the correct tense.
We're not "nearing" something that has already happened at the Beginning of my half century+ on this planet.
