Steady progress on the bedtime #drawing in #LineaSketch. I’ll likely be rebuilding muscle memory in the other sketch apps soon, but this one’s just got that nice sketchbook feel. Not too much, not too little.

If you don’t know about Django Packages, you probably should. Even if you don’t use #Django. It has that “everybody should be stealing this” quality, for package search and classification.

About as core to my Django workflow as (Meta)CPAN was for my Perl workflow.

Django packages grid for packages classified as asset managers, with many aspects of each project on display and a summary of features being evaluated for consideration in this group.

alternate choice for Jimmy Buffet Thanksgiving line, from the same song:

“if I don’t die by Thursday, I’ll be roaring Friday night.”

I have said it before. I’ll say it again, I’m not proud.

I was like five when I first heard this song and aside from describing a lovely relationship, it helped me navigate the misdirection inherent in neurotypical communication without burning so much energy on masking.

“Clichés, good ways to say what you mean, mean what you say”

Might even have contributed to the “but you don’t seem #ADHD!” thrown at me by folks who don’t pay attention.

@funnelfiasco it occurs to me I know someone who wants to get deeper into project management. It’s a different kind of PM, I think. The job descriptions get fuzzy.

Regardless, your book and the new one from @vmbrasseur would be helpful resources for contexts outside what the Coursera stuff covers.

Gray sky without lightning. I didn’t know they had those in #Tucson.

Got most of the fiddly bits hooking and grouping pages how I like them.

Year archives are way easier (for me) in Django than Hugo, that’s for sure.

Let the brain cool off, then at some point ponder images and other asset files.

@WuMargaret that sounds like an excellent idea.

I don’t participate in Black Friday shopping stuff. And sure I can pretend it’s some ethical stance but all it really is? I shop when I have resources to buy a thing and a thing I want to buy.

Right now there is neither, and the hundred email promotions didn’t change this.

@m I’ve had some where I’m like “what’s going on here is that a tendon or something? How is my earlobe alone twitching?”

@socketwench yeah that would’ve been better. This is what – the fourth in the original series? The impression I remember from those movies is a consistently sized batch of good ideas in each, getting overwhelmed by an ever pushier studio.
