Where is everyone today?
Well, giving it some thought I know where a few people are but, for the most part, I don't know where most people are - so
where is everyone? I don't know. Wherever they've been last.

Working on an Android app, installing a Kurzweil MicroPiano[^] (bought new in 1997 and used less than half a dozen times) in my home studio, and laundry. In that order.
I love the holidays! Have been going to bed at 5am, waking up at 11am and not showering till 4pm.

Celebrating Christmas again; yesterday with the parents and family, today with good friends. Lots of coffee, lots of food, and a few hours of talking and visiting old memories.
And yet, 15 minutes before midnight I still need to come online and visit the Lounge 
How was your christmas?

So did I; we don't do presents and there's no decoration in the house.
..but since everyone has holidays anyways it's a good moment to visit and share a meal. And tomorrow most festive food will be at a discount

I'm cooking a turkey, so it involves waiting around.
In the interim I got Parsley to do a really complicated parse using techniques i created called abstract symbols and virtual symbols.
It can now discern between an expression and a cast, smoothly.
Slang takes a long time to cook the thing, though. At least not as long as the turkey.
I also got a headline article today though i would have preferred a different day. Still, yay.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Be careful not to forget the turkey, or you will go cold turkey

I did mine in the sous vide - 3 hours @65C and it's ready to carve. Since nobody really wants the legs, I just do a breast or a couple of breasts with sage, butter, and lemon. It comes out moist and as tasty as turkey ever gets every time.
And if it's in for an extra hour because - whatever - it's no problem.

i use thyme, butter and lemon zest to baste it with it periodically. although before i put it in i get it under the skin next to the breast meat as well. Then I just oven roast it, but i stuff it with a spanish onion, quarterd, a clove of garlic, halved lengthwise, a halved lemon (the one i zested) and a bunch, as in 1 bunch of thyme.
It comes out perfect every time, esp with my new convection oven. (well, a year old now)

Since my wife is German my mother in law makes a goose for us.
First it gets stuffed with weeds I cannot even pronounce. Then it gets in the oven on a very low temp for half a day.
After that it goes into the cold over the night.
The next day the fat is removed and the goose is roasted at high temperature to get a crispy skin.
It's quite a project, but they wouldn't have it another way.

it sounds like your goose is cooked!

Not just the 3D Printer (yay!) but also ... a headphone refurbish kit.
Replacement foam head band, over-ear foam pads and inner foam, new plug-in Sennheiser cables.
5 minutes and boom! Like new again.
I bought these (Sennheiser HD580 Precision) back in the early 90's, and they weren't cheap then. So I was thinking of replacing them, but ... it's difficult, they were damn good headphones, and the modern equivalent is the 660S at around £400 a set. I find it kinda difficult to justify spending that much on headphones fer gawds sake! But the head band foam was less than 1mm thick, the ear foam covering had frayed badly, the inner foam was missing - presumed blown to pieces by too much loud music. And there was an intermittent break in the right hand side cable so I had to sit with my head tilted to hear properly.
Then I saw you could still get replacement bits ... all in, less than £30.
And they are gorgeous again! Lovely sound, comfortable, perfect!
Repair, reuse, recycle ... you know it's worth it.

I asked the doctor about that. He said it cannot be done in my case. I don't think the quack knows how to operate!

That's "Standard Yorkshire" - and pretty much incomprehensible unless you grew up on a diet of mushy peas, black pudding, and Whippet sandwiches. Yorkshiremen are forbidden from teaching Standard Yorkshire to mere mortals, on pain of permanent exile to Lancashire and a lifetime ban from drinking tea.
In English that would be:
Where have you been since I saw you, I saw you?
On Ilkley Moor without a hat
Where have you been since I saw you, I saw you?
Where have you been since I saw you?
On Ilkley Moor without a hat
On Ilkley Moor without a hat
On Ilkley Moor without a hat
You've been courting Mary Jane
You're bound to catch your death of cold
Then we will have to bury you
Then the worms will come and eat you up
Then the ducks will come and eat up the worms
Then we will go and eat up the ducks
Then we will all have eaten you
That's where we get our own back
