Any conversation

I've been on a kick lately of trying to visualize the oscillating clock, and ultimately the effectively arbitrarily complex activity of a computer processor, as modern refinements of the line shaft factory of the 19th century. Of compute as being not much more than profoundly refined "work" delivered by the electrical grid into marvelously complex machines. Does that, as a metaphor at least, feel as important to you as it has to me of late? We spend so much time in a world abstracted.

Trying to gently work my way back to the target intensity needed for the Norwegian 4x4 to get my weekly dose of suck and feel accomplished after. Chronic left leg pain unfortunately likes reminding me it's there though.

If you left your current industry, what would you do for a living?

I am trying to learn emacs for the fun of it. The tutorial is brilliant and clear. Any tips that would help me learning more things. I know all I need is practice but if you may have used it, you may know a thing or two.

The job market feels like it's been run over by a truck. What's the play here? Anything automated/streamlined (job platforms, LinkedIn, etc.) feels like a dead end. Messaging people, networking and so on seems like the only reasonable way, and that's a hustle all on its own.

I made a thing: SwiftTUI.shSwiftTUISwiftTUIBuild terminal user interfaces in Swift with SwiftUI semantics: views, state, focus, gestures, and animation, compiled to one native binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Try the live demo, then run the same app in your own terminal.

Hello World 👋

I’m using textlog to explore the intersection of #foodnotesfollow and tech, with the goal of building an app that solves a problem in this space. Named @C0C0A5profilefollowwww.C0C0A5.com, it's word represented as a hex color. Of all the words there, it is a cocoa-ish color and is an appropriate name for this idea.

What is a Textlog?

hello world!

Happiness is having just enough hot water in my espresso to extend the experience without diluting it overmuch. #coffeenotesfollow

Very cool: our kids' bathroom toilet overflowed last night, resulting in water draining into our kitchen on the floor below.

, I just went into our garage to find a panel of insulation fallen to the ground, riddled with mouse droppings. 🤢😫 Cleaned it up (gloved and masked, naturally), but probably means we need to re-insulate the whole garage. Which will undoubtedly uncover a leak or some other issue. The fun never ends!

Anybody here using mastodon regularly? What instance are you on? I can't decide on where to register 😅
