The cat I'm visiting has decided to sit in petting range tonight.
car, birds
Birds were trying to get run over while I was driving today, but I declined to hit them.
It's (more) shedding season.
When I come home from work my cat yells at me until she gets hugs. This is a daily thing unless I stay home all day.
(also I prefer KDE from a usability standpoint)
My Mac has developed the annoying tendency for WiFi to stop working when using one of my port expanders, but not right away and randomly. Unplugging fixes. I miss my Linux laptop where hardware actually worked, the computer had a nice assortment of useful ports, and I didn't have to pay so much attention to available storage space because I could get an acceptable amount without spending obscene $.
I wish I had more time to work on Typica 2.0. Mostly because I want to be using Typica 2.0 in production.
Bought another 2400 pounds of coffee.

mastodon, hacker news
looking at the latest hn thread about mastodon and seeing at least a half-dozen people who are essentially saying: "i went on mastodon and the people on there were behaving in a kind and respectful way, and it was too stressful to make myself behave in a kind and respectful way too, so i left"
weirds me out so much when i read stuff like this. like gives me a massive huge "unknowability of the other" feeling

I think it's finished! Changed a couple of things from the sketch, which made it take longer. Happy with the end result though :) I sketch dragons all the time. Here's a painted one!
Auto-scrolling is the web equivalent of Lucy with a football.
I wish web browsers made it easier to selectively disable scripting specific DOM features. There's a lot of garbage that only gets used obnoxiously and turning them into NOPs wouldn't break legitimate functionality.

Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."
When I went for today's cat visit, she jumped down from the chair she was on when I left yesterday. I don't think she was there the whole time I was gone.
I seem to be in an espresso sort of mood today. I've had something like 6 this morning.
