Loki: meow?

Me: Migrating a Mastodon account from the server I started out on back in 2022.

Hazel: meow

Me: Nope, don't worry. It should be pretty transparent. One of the main reasons I moved is the character limit in posts is larger here. You fuzzballs get to have longer conversations with me.

Loki: meow

Me: Oh, right.

- Things I am: In a #Polyfidelitous family of 3 older adults and 4 equally awesome (now mostly grown!) children.

- How I pay the bills: #DataEngineering now, #WebDevelopment and #DevOps before that, #Chemistry even longer ago.

- Other things I like: #Cats, obviously. Also #Astronomy (#AmateurAstronomy in particular), #History, #Science, #Books, #HistoricalFiction, #ScienceFiction, #SFF, #Programming, #Hiking, #Nature.

Hazel: meow

- Some weirder, more specific ones? Fine. #StudioGhibli. Indoor #Rowing. #Languages, currently learning #Spanish and #Latin.

I geek out a lot about astronomical data and I maintain a widely-used database of stars (the HYG catalog, and its new extension, the AT-HYG catalog with Gaia data) at https://codeberg.org/astronexus.

Yes, I'm a geek. But you still put up with me, right?

Loki: meow
Hazel: meow

Me: Love you both too.
