  • Cat.

    Yes, hello, I am here having my third ER visit.

    This was my hand on Saturday, one day after cat bites (I counted 8 punctures), and after two doses of antibiotics.

    In case you are like me, and have no sense of medical emergency, that is a serious infection.

    I have had two butt shots, an X-ray, five days out of ten of courses of two different antibiotics, and I just had a CT scan.

    Edit: Btw, it looks a lot better now. Most of the swelling is gone, and almost all of the redness. CT scan results came back, the knuckle is good, no deeper infection. :)




  • I think people should pay for software, including open source software. Don’t get me wrong, I love open source. I’ve probably spent multiple thousands of hours writing and maintaining open source software. That’s only because I have free time and like to do it. I’ve made $0 doing it, even though several companies use my software. If it started affecting my life negatively, I’d have to stop.

    We pay for things like video games, but it’s incredibly difficult to make money in open source, even though the time investment can be just as much for the developers. I guess my point is, if there’s an open source project you like or you think is valuable, toss the devs a donation.

    The model I like is free for personal use/paid for commercial use, but doing that in open source is practically impossible as a small dev. Big tech companies should be required to support the open source devs they rely on, imho.
