Today is largely focused on cleaning up a single Django query. Cracking knuckles and pulling out Jupyter for this one.
Barry strongly disapproved of Jumpy Dog wearing clothes like some two-legger.
He didn’t calm down until we took her pink sweater off.
Jack is zonked out on his security hoody.
@thegibson TAKE MY MONEY hang on I’m broke
TAKE MY MONEY ON FRIDAY
@thegibson I’ll make a note of it!
Good news everyone! I finally got the correct set up for my work app’s internal server error email notifications!
Apparently.
yaaaayyy
goodness that’s a full inbox
Handy thing about using shell aliases for common taskwarrior patterns:
when I’m doing cleanup it’s an easy reference for which tasks are mentally significant (as opposed to “priority” importance)
Having spent literally the entire billable work day chasing down five pixels of padding in some combination of stylesheets, I kind of wish we had gone with Tailwind.
@tithonium Even more evidence that it’s an alternate universe.
Windows and AMD drivers are arguing with each other so I got impatient and rebooted to Linux.
Current status: breaking down boxes.
Kitty status: helping
Thought it was a cookie so I ate it. Turns out it was a sausage patty.
Even better. This is like Christmas in September.
@nomad Fortunately yes!
There’s a weird uncanny valley effect in American Truck Simulator where there’s exact replicas of familiar locations but nothing in between them. I-5 N is suddenly Lacey -> Tacoma Dome -> Downtown Seattle -> Everett
“this script could be a remark plugin” wandered through my head while I was enjoying first coffee.
And now I know how — all that — happens.

Was trying to figure out where I got the “if your language has type declarations I should be able to use them meaningfully in my script,” since most insist on a compilation step or separate type checker.
All right. Work.
(but we’re having so much fun complicating the blog)
Shh. Later.
See if my blog was just a blog I’d use Nikola or Hugo and call it a day. But noooo. Putter putter putter. All the time.
In yet another shocking plot twist, I completed an estimated eight hours of work in approximately eight hours.
The popular JavaScript approach to functionality of “add a plugin; need more? the plugin has its own plugins for that” gets exhausting pretty quick.
Not like any of the other languages are innocent of the “add a plugin” mindset, but it really seems core to the JS development experience.

@Ventronik Awesome. Thank you!
Learning that markdown-it makes more sense for #Eleventy than reMark. It’s the “no boilerplate” thing. markdown-it starts at md -> html.
So far with reMark I learned how to find poor form, bad grammar, and missing links. Haven’t quite made it to HTML yet.
VS Code is handy, but goodness it’s chunky and clunky for a text editor if you’re on an aging laptop.
Step outside to enjoy late night air out here in the woods.
Sudden vocalization from something unpleasantly surprised about unexpected human.
Front brain: oh scary! What is that?
Lizard brain, which already has me back inside with door locked: fucking google it.
The local hummingbirds have finally figured out that I don’t move enough to be a threat, especially while I’m nursing a coffee.
