First day with a new job. In my time zone, which is something of a novelty.
Forcing myself to drink this coffee before I go logging in.

@chris Windows has been sufficiently useful for my needs for a couple years now thanks to WSL2. It’s a darn shame about all the tradeoffs.

Walked in while she was watching Knights of the Zodiac.
Didn’t know the movie. Didn’t know the story. But I saw Sean Bean and knew he was there to die in a dramatic futile gesture before the plot climax.

“Now he’s being cute. Dammit.”
@IamMrsGeek is talking about Bouncy Dog.
“Stinky boy!”
I think.

On a related note, my code nearly lets me use #SiYuanNote as a CMS for my blog.

Hyperfocus isn’t always like a twenty hour targeted session. Sometimes it’s revisiting a game or project routinely not because you like it, but because you aren’t done with it yet.

I want to be clear for anyone who mistakes this for productivity: “the project is incomplete” and “you aren’t done with it” are not necessarily describing the same thing. Project goals might be reached but you wanted to shuffle some things. Or maybe the project is miles from completion but you figure out this one tricky little thing and your brain is done.

It seems like every time some app provides an API to a SQLite database, I struggle with the API a little, then give up and just query the database directly.

@thegibson remember the Mastodon account chaos? Didn’t want to bother you with one or two at a time. Ran some code to find accounts HT considers blocked that either follow me or I follow them. 156 entries. ugh.
JSON summary, scroll up for detailed dump, scroll all the way up for code link.
Problem is I don’t know if any of these are genuinely suspended / limited. If there’s anything I can do to make this easier to work with, lemme know.

@minego @gizmomathboy even for me it clarifies more than it amplifies.
Family’s got a history of self-medicating stronger stuff, so I figured caffeine was an acceptable choice all things considered.

@minego @gizmomathboy Fingers crossed this helps more! I had to revert to self-medicating thanks to the executive dysfunction obstacles involved in staying medicated with the current US health care system.

Got the itch to putter with Emacs today.
Last time I had some kind of org version mismatch. Need to double check my early-init.el.

Went to the acupuncturist with complaints about back pain. They stabbed me in the neck and now I don’t even notice my back at all.

After hearing some annoyingly clangy noises with my (mysteriously but consistently hearing-impaired for the last six months) right ear, thought I’d try an equalizer experiment to see if I could tune the computer’s sounds.

Frustrated by Electron apps that don’t offer an API. Thankfully it’s getting less common but still.
Your app is 200MB of JS in front of 10MB of data. I know there’s an API in there somewhere. Just let me use yours.

From a chat with my mom, who’s looking for smaller scale hub-and-spoke storefronts for artists (sort of like Fediverse Etsy for lack of a better analogy), me contrasting her goal with VC-funded storefront sites:

@bitprophet If the Python exercises are any indication, it’s a lot of volunteer-maintained code that could use a few more professionally-minded volunteers.
Not that it’s bad by any means, but it really makes you aware of how many practices have become ingrained when you’re exposed to code that doesn’t know them.

@jmac I don’t know the cause but I have experienced that sound and air pressure experience you described on multiple flights.
