Even my bedtime #drawing tends to take the form of study and ongoing projects. Practicing Sheila Sturrock’s “Celtic Knotwork Designs” in #LineaSketch.

Early stages, obviously.

Drawing with regions laid out for assorted knotwork images; handwritten text reads «from Sheila Sturrock Celtic Knotwork Designs “Small Hearts”»

@codesections That’s my most “live coding” post ever :blob_laughing:​

I was writing the code to tangle the Markdown for the post as I was writing the post. So the target file is index.md of the post. I should add a link to the Markdown.

Come to think of it, I could do that for all my posts.

@codesections ohh right that is a confusing typo. So index.md was hard-coded up until the very end, and I forgot to update that example bit. Fixing now!

@codesections and done. Thank you, and also: glad you liked the post!

@darius Well I need to read that book and the Baffler article. I remember the bullshit jobs piece very well.

Progressed far enough along in debugging that I can keep my screaming on the inside again.

Once again wishing an ill fate on the dudes — it’s been the same two or three dudes every time I checked — doing donuts in the high school parking lot.

Going through the Steam Library. Finally tried Super Hexagon.

  1. seizure warning holy crap2) This would have eaten so many quarters in the 80s3) “Hard” is the easiest setting. Seems legit.4) I think I saw this game in a cautionary episode of ST:TNG5) Got a nice beat.
