PROMPT November 18^th

An easy prompt for tonight. I'm tired, don't want to think much, so an easy one. What did you do during the 'Great Shutdown For The Upgrade' of WDC today? Tell us all the 'gory' details!

Not much to tell. Charity Marie - <3 wanted to host a server-party Zoom meeting, so she did, but what with one thing and another it didn't get promoted enough so it was only a few of us attending. I think everyone had a good time, though.

Of course, I had some beers.

Hopefully everyone knows we have regular Zoom parties every other week. The next one is this coming Saturday. Watch my newsfeed for details; I'll try to remember to promote it later today.

Anyway, like I said, it seems to me that pages are loading faster now, but I don't know for sure. All this server migration, website coding, and hosting stuff might as well be sorcery as far as I'm concerned. I mean, yeah, I have a vague idea about how it all works, but it's really vague and it's certainly not something I could do.

It's not as if I'm not curious about it; it's just that, like everyone else, I only have 24 hours in a day, and I need to sleep for a good chunk of that, so, much to my eternal frustration, I can't learn everything. I'm just glad someone knows what they're doing.

I think most of us have things like that - specialties that, to other people, seem like magic. I mean, could you design a drainage and stormwater management system for a shopping center? I guess, probably, if you'd had some of the same training I did, just like if I'd had a different education I'd probably understand more about website coding, brain surgery, electricity, or human interaction.

Besides, I'd rather learn about beer. Preferably through hands-on experience.
