mtbcI have been free from headaches today but my previous pain has developed into the right side of my ribcage being generally ornery. It feels like some kind of soft tissue strain and I had hoped that it would heal more quickly. It isn't greatly disabling; I can still sleep fine, I don't even need painkillers. Still, it doesn't much like my getting out of bed or inhaling deeply and I really don't relish having to sneeze or to change my footwear.

This ranges across errors in server logs, questions from users, code that needs review, whatever comes up. It's something that I've been helping with for a few years now.
