Got an e-mail to my non-work address saying I needed to contact (guy I never heard of before) about my login credentials. After checking with the sender that this was not a phishing expedition I e-mailed (guy). He wanted me to phone him. Also he gave his number as a ten-digit string because, you know, the phone company spent a lot of time researching how to set up numbers so people could easily remember them, and breaking them up into groups of three- and four-digits work, so let's just throw that all out for long grey strings of numerals.
Anyway for whatever reason they're changing all our logins, and he's the guy to do it somehow. I tried to explain that the important thing for me is that the remote-login software catches hold of the new password. I am not confident he understood what I was talking about, but I warned the guys in the tech department and I guess tomorrow morning I'll learn whether that's broken.
Also the company is sending a new ``workstation'', including to us remote workers. I don't mind if this is a laptop since I would like something I could use for work that I can close at 5 pm and not touch again. Also if it's set up so I can do my Visual Studio stuff locally and post it, rather than logging in to an office computer remotely, since the remote work is tedious. We'll see. If it turns out this is a desktop computer then we have a couple problems, particularly a shortage of desks, but we'll deal with that if it proves necessary.
Let's have some more of the Easter visit. Much of it will be egg-based.
Pookie wonders when the torment of me being around being all ... extant ... like that will come to an end.
And now eggs! We made nearly nothing but tie-dyed eggs with weird blends of color this year.
Box of eggs, featuring a lot of color mixes and a couple of stickers and crayon decoration.
Couple more eggs. Some experiments turned out brown, but others, like the center, came out looking like exotic bird eggs.
Here's another nearly dozen eggs, all of them weird blends.
Some of these cross the line between 'Easter Egg' and 'ultraviolet-light photographs of Saturn and Jupiter'.
A dragon egg that ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger created.
More of the dragon wrapped around the egg.
bunnyhugger also did a pretty solid job on Uncle Dudley, 70s version.
It's an Easter egg re-creation of one of bunnyhugger's favorite Christmas cards! Her parents have the actual card she'd drawn and colored framed by the front door.

PS: Homologies and Cohomologies explained quickly which is not the mathematics piece I meant to post, but is the piece I put together when the thing I wanted was too long to finish editing.
