Got an idea for some Org file fun. Org::Parser is fresher than the other non-Elisp Org parsers I found, so looks like this fun will be had in #Perl!

Coming up for air to mention that App::OrgUtils provides CLI utilities for exactly the kind of file fun I had in mind for today.

so exciting i can almost play #EliteDangerous on Linux. Probably just need to fiddle with system settings related to Nvidia, which honestly means waiting for a sufficient supply of sporks (spork theory it’s like spoon theory but for neurodivergent wiring)

Whoa hey I found my sources for the 2013-2015 Jekyll iteration of my blog, which contains the original sources for my pre-blog 2000-2012 site. With (presumably) intact Git history, even!
I predict a major revamp for my current site.

@alexlac51 @jimdonegan I love the song and video, while at the same time my brain always contrasts with the mood of Squeeze “Cool For Cats”

Wanted to share a thing @mykola put together with my mom and I couldn’t remember the URL so I just looked up “mykola autism” and it led me right there:
https://coda.io/@mykola-bilokonsky/public-neurodiversity-support-center
That’s some fine SEO

Me praising my mom’s parenting efforts and their outcome
Yep. You did good. And I only occasionally lit the house on fire.

@yojimbo duly noted for when I have properly allocated cognitive resources!

@yojimbo @beko oh dang that is some cool stuff.

I wanted to share, with my mom, a thing @mykola made.
Words are hard. Sentences harder.

Gotta pay attention to my breathing because sometimes she thinks my deep sigh is because I’m annoyed at something.
Sometimes it is. Way more often it’s because I forgot to breathe. Again.

Having a little fun with Perl but also Org mode.

@lmorchard No research done, but my brain jumped to p5.js as primary handler with something like TurtleGFX?
Thinking that because Processing and p5 you can basically script the animation of the drawing happening, and p5 might mean less container overhead?

@gizmomathboy Mojo libraries are force of habit mainly. And “look at every file in every folder under $HOME” takes <1s on my machine, so I didn’t feel the need to use an explicit iterator.
Next step I’ll be collecting more information from each file, so I may get a little fancier.

@gizmomathboy one of my rules is “fast enough is better than fast.”

@billseitz Psych was kind of an amazing show. I need to binge that again.

Wondering if anyone in the #LazyWeb world knows a good Git intro suitable for someone extremely ADHD? We’re talking kid-friendly “here’s what version control is and here’s how to use Git as a sort of backup tool.”
Or maybe there’s another free option my git-constrained brain might be missing. Friend needs version history and backup management, in some format more approachable for the attention-impaired.

@jesse It’s only a matter of time.

@RenewedRebecca @b0rk Oh yes the zines! That might be perfect.
