I should probably migrate all my stuff off tumblr at some point. Most of it I don't care about but there are a few articles that are actually useful that I still sometimes point people toward or use for my own reference.

Cat allergies have been bothering me more lately and I finally figured out why. My air purifier doesn't start back up after a power outage and I failed to realize it wasn't running.

If anybody legit wants to help support my free software work, you can do that at https://typica.us/ (there's a form right on the front page, JavaScript needed for the credit card processing).

In the month of November I got precisely $0.00, down from $50 in October. Right now all the money goes toward keeping the project web site online, but there are certainly uses for more.

This just arrived in my inbox and, umm... I didn't have an Indiegogo crowd funding campaign? There aren't any super-obvious signs of a scam going on, so I think maybe this just got pushed to the wrong mailing list? If someone used my email address to set up an Indiegogo campaign I'd think I'd've gotten an email about that and rather than an award I guess I'd rather have the money. I'm sure I can find a project to push that to.

Crossed legs

VR mode in Catlateral Damage is dangerous.

nose boop

It's cold at work. I want to go home and hug the cat.

@debugninja@banana.dog That seems surprisingly high and I'm not at all confident in the number. There's a lot of variation depending on what part of the fediverse you're looking at and it'll be interesting to see in the long term where that shakes out wrt migration from other sites vs new projects that might prove better suited to single person/small group use.

@debugninja@banana.dog Somewhere in the 2-3% range. Higher if inactive accounts aren't considered.

Last night's cat pics. I tried to get one of her hugging a table leg but she noticed that I was about to take a picture and composed herself for that.

@deadsuperhero I wouldn't say I've done good logos, but rather than step 2, I've done the draw it on grid paper, type up the vector description, and tweak from there approach. That gets painful if it's a complex logo, but for simple stuff if you already know the format that can be easier than fighting with a drawing program (the most complex thing I've done was an elephant in METAPOST).

This morning the cat decided that she needed me to wake up so I could hear the garbage trucks. She got a claw in my nose, which earned her an ejection from the bed. I don't think she meant to inflict pain, but I don't want to encourage that behavior.

Why did teleportation become such a popular choice for moving in VR games? It's almost never the right decision.

Cat's giving me lots of head pats tonight.

@cwebber@octodon.social Misskey?

Spent some time working on a new order entry interface for Typica. I want to make this both much simpler than currently exists and also add more features. This might seem like a contradiction, but if I'm willing to redesign this aspect from scratch it isn't.
