I still feel kind of bad for the folks who had a work obligation to care about AMP.

I didn’t, so I didn’t.

Of course I read a “why I hate Perl” post and my immediate reaction is “I love (my better perhaps slightly trauma-bonded understanding of) all those things. Now I want to write some Perl.”

Examining a SQLite database and — after struggling with a much fancier tool — once again sqlite-utils is just the thing.

Progressive not transition. Took me a bit to remember the genericized name for bifocals without lines.

Boy howdy if you just paste 1500 lines of markdown into RemNote it gets all kinds of mad, but it gets the stuff in there more or less.

explaining IRC by analogy that a non-technical early 20-something could grasp, and how sometimes people found / find dating partners on it, and the loose community aspects.

“old” doesn’t begin to describe the feeling

New glasses with transition lenses because eyes are old.

Waiting for my ADHD meds to show up in the mail and I tell you what the difference between sorta hanging on with meds and nothing done + four attempts required to spell “ADHD” correctly is certainly something.

@aphyr maybe it’s the “noble savage” trope for socialists.

So is being able to rattle off the name of a half-dozen militant white supremacist groups without effort something everyone can do these days, or is that more a Cascadian thing?

Nothing like a little emergency dentistry to brighten up your day.

No worries, I still have the same number of teeth I did at the start of the week.

This of course means that some of the work sitting in place of teeth is gone.

Gonna make sure to wear my TEETH TEETH TEETH shirt for the next appointment.

I keep seeing glances of folks talking about a metaverse like it’s a new thing and not a bad Flash knockoff of Second Life ~2004, fueled by banality and digital asphalt.

Checking the guidelines before I schedule my certification exam.

The online test proctoring rules are – if I may use a technical term from the ADHD / neurodiverse knowledge domain – bullshit.

5 steps into the first lab exercise and I’m already looking up tools to automate this.

hackers.town: 2021-10-19 Tue 13:32

I mean my job title is “Automation Engineer” it’s right there in the name. I can’t help it if my first reflex is to make their certification course more efficient.

Looking forward to rich people getting the super shiny new apple thing so I can buy their old and busted six month old M1 for cheap.

Studying a networking technology thing. Looked up a term online. Accidentally misspelled the word. Top hit was a startup using the wrong spelling.

Because of course.

Eight episodes in and not so much as a cuttlefish with a tennis racket.

And so many OSHA violations.

I’m beginning to think this show has been misleadingly named.

Checked out “Webbed” for a few minutes that turned out to be about three hours, in case you’re wondering how I feel about cute physics puzzle platformers.

For some reason Kitty Terminal ignores geometry hints on my Windows 11 WSL.

Just saw a Web 1.0 vs 2.0 vs 3.0 that was so full of inaccuracies that I’m filing it as misinformation. My brain won’t even let me share to dunk. (except to say web 1.0 did not start in 1980)
