I blog so others can suffer too.Keep me posting
Daily notes that won’t necessarily happen every day. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer.
I keep forgetting the song, just remembering lines. So this time I’m taking note: “GPT” for “Gangster Pimp Trap” by Odessa Kane

But I had to finish sketching out a CSS layout using pico.
Pico CSS • Minimal CSS Framework for semantic HTML
I think I cleaned up all the mess from last weekend’s brilliant site management ideas. Now I’m on to more mundane cleanup, adjusting my markdownlint config.
Been meaning to do this for a while. I once again have a Gallery section for my drawings and craft projects. That’ll simplify giving those pages some special treatment.
Waiting for coffee.
Email from The Browser Company, the folks who make Arc. Opening line “An Exciting New Chapter”
Ah, they’re being acquired.
Two lines later: “The Browser Company of New York has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Atlassian.”

Settled on NW.js
Revisiting Pascal has been an idle thought for a few years now. I track resources like Free Pascal, Lazarus, and Castle Game Engine close enough to know it hasn’t sat still since I was in high school.
Got annoyed with GIPHY. Remembered Snipe’s massive collection of GIFs. Grabbed the full 5.3GB repo for myself.
Had a moment of ADHD inspiration the other night about organizing these notes. Only took me a day and a half to clean up the resulting mess. Mostly. I think.
