Spook Country

I got sick on December 19th and didn’t stop. I’m now on my final dose of some antibiotic I’ve never heard of following shock wave lithotripsy. I’m incredibly lucky it was just a kidney stone (and food poisoning before that). But it did pretty much destroy any plans I had for the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023. During my sick time I did a lot of vegging. I had filed vacation for the final two weeks of the year anyway.

I got a case, a usb-c u-bend, a headphone jack usb-c splitter, and a small bluetooth keyboard. So far I have only tested the keyboard, which failed spectacularly. Whenever it times out to save battery, it fails to reconnect and has to be setup from scratch.
