webfiend

I haven’t heard that name in years.

Yes! Wait! What? What context do you know me as webfiend from? Over on G+ I think I was always Random Geek or Brian Wisti.

Writing a tiny Perl module for that most novel of reasons: because I could use it in a couple projects.

Also because I’ve had a PAUSE account for years and I figure it’s time to upload something, even if minimally useful or amusing to others.

Currently: using Perl to extract front matter from an org-formatted blog post because of course I am.

Using Org::Parser specifically.

Wondering how much the dogs understand elevators. Do they know about floors and stuff, or is it a closet to Narnia, that magical land where they are allowed to poop?

@Ventronik sure but the furniture is verifiable so it sticks in my head more.

hackers.town: 2020-05-25 Mon 08:05

@Ventronik Okay, not verifiable, but more cool at least. “She did it with a horse” sounds suspiciously 18th Century Fox News to me.

@genehack that last sentence had me thinking Goya but that’s hardly your fault.

@remotenemesis I need some Frazetta here as well.

Oh which reminded tangent brain that my mom sent me a link to Roger Dean’s YouTube channel, back in a bit.

Loud Dog may be unimpressed, but I think @IamMrsGeek’s shared #art wall idea was genius. #nobirb

Wall decorated with tiles, each tile printed with one of our drawings; small dog walking in background

Having entirely too much fun with Gatsby — and React, by proxy.

Starting to understand why folks liked ColdFusion.

[goes to the hive mind]

holy crap ColdFusion still exists.

46F and misty. Perfect weather for not going anywhere.

Almost two months in this apartment grumbling about how dark the kitchen is.

Today we figured out that one of the lights has a dimmer switch that was turned all the way down.

When I’m not sure something works, and tests are slow: ugh, I’ll check manually.

When I’m not sure something works, and tests are fast: oh I’ll add a test!

Ideally I’d check manually and then add a test.

Having a very distractible brain week. Bit frustrating when I want to do one of the things bouncing around in my head.

A little corvid purr followed by a friendly dive bomb confirms it. Yep, that’s one of the old neighborhood crows here in the new neighborhood.

Pretty awesome.
