Tada!

Just like that, I am back to my regular username. That means that I am home.

I am in agony but at least my traitorous dog has decided to give me some attention instead of hanging out with the missus. Even the chickens seemed pretty pleased with my return.

Alas, because it is a commercial operation, I am damned close to being forbidden from the farm. Insurance would have a shit-fit if I did anything resembling labor there. Going there and doing nothing would be a bit more (or is that less) than I care to do, so I haven't visited.

I actually have let very, very few (local) people know that I am home. I absolutely don't want the flood of visitors stopping by tonight. I am glad that I am well liked, but I really don't need to expend the energy dealing with real-life well wishers. They can wait until Sunday or Monday.

I have obligations to other people now. I have two young people, with the eldest being the one most needing my attention, that I have obligated myself to. I must give them my best, because that is what I do.

I can't do that if I am fucked up all the time and have returned to the point in my life where I was subjecting myself to rampant drug abuse. I owe them more than that. I owe them better than that. I gave them both promises and one of those promises was that I would give them my best. I don't break promises.

I'd like to think you'd not like me if I were the kind to not keep my word to the best of my ability. But, even if you'd like me just the same, I would not like me.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to wrap myself in a very heavy opiate high. I long for it.

I just can't do that. I have promises to keep and obligations that I must meet.

LOL COF is coming out of his shell.

Have you seen what he's done with the MFU site? I have slowly but surely given up pretty much all duties on that site - except for the administrative duties. That is pretty much all I do and he takes care of the rest.

By the way, I have come to like MantisBT. It is a bug-tracker system and I really, really think you could turn it into something useful for Poal. We use it to assign ourselves tasks and people can use it to report bugs and request features. I like it because it gives accountability and it is a great way to keep track.

Highly, highly recommended - though I would not approach it with the idea of customizing it. It is not easy to customize so you kind of need to come to grips with it just as it is - but it is really good. It is more than what we need, but it's very good. It does have a learning curve but it is great when you learn it.

I’ll check it out when I have time. At the moment I am stuck working 60+ hours a week in a very shit job for a little while. So my list of things to do for poal is growing to a mile long. It’s okay it’s all temporary and I’ll get to it eventually. But I’ll add it to my Nextcloud deck
