       Just finished with a server maintenance window for work.  Got another
       one on Wednesday, yay.  Hope that one doesn't last the entire window
       like this one.
       
       I ran out of coffee filters today so I had to use a paper towel.  I 
       haven't done that since college.  Coffee was a little week, but good
       enough. At least the towel didn't break and make a mess of things
       like it did in college.  Then again, I didn't brew a pot in the 
       coffee maker.  Instead I just did a pour over.  I coulda used the 
       french press, but I was lazy and didn't want to clean all the parts.
       
       This morning, I had a chance to listen to the daytime edition of open
       mic (for my time zone.)  SDF user, oneofvalts was on there talking 
       about and playing his tambur instrument.  It was cool and I learned
       about the tambur.
       
       This evening, I was going to listen to open mic, but I got annoyed
       by the aNONradio channel on COMmode being flooded by
       
        [hh:mm:ss] Another DJ attempted to OpenMIC at [2022-09-20 03:30:59]
       
       So annoying!  I think someone was doing it intentionally and just 
       messing it up for everybody.  I heard it happened the other night as
       well.  This is why we can't be trusted with nice things.  It sucks
       when things like this happens, but it is part of having a community
       like this.  Hope they learn to behave or GTFO.
