Laying out a careful grid and then just #drawing everything with a fat brush is fun.

Trying to watch a tech video while this deploy runs but the speaker has HP books very visible on their shelf and I’m sad because I remember when I might have thought that was cute.

Been a rough couple years for a few fandoms out there.

So it seems I’ve settled on Pop OS as my workhorse Linux. It works well enough, my daily tools are in distribution repos, and “i3 but pretty” tiling is nice for everyday.

I refuse to type the name they way they do though.

Reading up on DBIx::Class to see if I want to try working with it.

Yeah it’s unfinished but I’m deploying to test server just the same. a) typo ratio is reaching dangerous levels; and b) the dang thing will never be finished

I don’t really understand Mini Metro, but at least I’m enjoying not understanding it.

Wore my hackers.town hoodie when we picked up the kitties, and Barry uses it as a security blanket and toy whenever he gets the chance.

Obviously I give him many chances because d’awww

Got to use the term “duct tape” referencing my project architecture in a work email, so I’m happy.

A lot of these electron apps sure do get cranky in a tiling window manager.

It’s not as bad, but I still get flashbacks to DHTML days when someone would be all excited about their interactive front-end. Seeing their face and hearing their voice as I open Mozilla and get nothing was a guilty pleasure.

DUCKING BELLS SLACK STOP TELLING ME ABOUT A FEATURE WHILE I’M TRYING TO TYPE NO WONDER EVERYBODY HATES YOU

hackers.town: 2021-07-29 Thu 10:09

One thing I’m enjoy with the BDD / Gherkin approach is that it gets easier to compose new feature tests from the vocabulary you built up earlier in development.

Apparently the next step after tired is angry. That’s not good for my work day. Need to take a few steady breaths.

Started to make an unwise post about work and was saved by ADHD.

Spent the night futzing around with my Awesome WM config, for my mental health.
