I had hit a throttle now. That’s a “subtle" way to tell me to slow down.

I've avoided social media (except YouTube) all my life, but this looks like it could finally be a better way to do it. Maybe I'll keep a running journal of cool things I'm working on here or weird bugs that I've found. Or just the struggles of coding. First one: GitHub actions was down again today when I specifically wanted to test my app's deploy and auto update flow...

Hello, World!

Sharing your work with others is a hard computer science problem in 2026, the Year of our Lord. You either here the sound of chirping crickets or the sound of "AI Slop" yells.

My past 3 projects went viral. I didn’t write a single line of code in any of them. But I still feel I engineered them. There were a few people that noticed but the majority didn’t see an issue.

You're fortunate in that you've genuinely captured something that people clearly want with textlog. No one wants another static site generator or coding harness. Ideas that resonate are pretty few and far between now.

…

I should have said past 4 projects went viral but the other one I did a lot of coding too, so wasn’t entirely “AI slop”. In all cases though, I made something I wanted to see. It just happened to resonate with others. Still, none of them extremely popular yet. All <500 users.

Spending mornings scouring job boards and listings and applying. Afternoons working on Cheltenham Open Data and iOS app development. What about you?

waiting for my friend so she can put my hair into a bun

a few fixes this morning, some actions in your account are now gated behind email(or password) confirmations, like "delete account" and "enable password" - this is to keep the account safe.

Hi everyone! I just found this site, seems to be just my speed!

hi! welcome! :D

It's very relaxing, I'm a huge fan.

Found some coffee at TJ Maxx (american discount store) -- not a big discount but still fun.

کوئی نجراجہ لیکر آیا ہوں میں دیوانہ تیرے لئے

I have brought some Najraja, I am crazy for you

آپ کے دیئے گئے کی درست اور معیاری اصلاح "کوئی لے کر آیا ہوں، میں دیوانہ تیرے لیے" ہے۔ اس جملے میں 'نجراجہ' کی جگہ درست لفظ نذرانہ (تحفہ) ہے، 'لیکر' کو الگ الگ لے کر لکھا جاتا ہے، اور 'لئے' کی درست املا لیے ہے۔

The correct and standard correction of your given is "I have brought a , I am crazy for you". In this sentence, the correct word for 'najraja' is 'nazran' (gift), 'lekar' is written separately, and 'lay' is spelled correctly.

It was only yesterday that I clicked on a Translate button to read a Japanese post. Today I see a Chinese post with English translation right below. Beautiful stuff.

Been working on website marketing materials this morning. About to dig into some work. If 'variety is the spice of life', my job is Cajun seasoning.

Sharing a link to my music blog: crusty-metallian.net Not a lot of content yet, it's a work in progress :)

Big list of events you've attended! Definitely dump more photos when you find the time. I'm more of a casual Nu-Metal enjoyer myself, but I can also appreciate some of the classics.

It's taken me 5 years to get a photo storage engine off the ground. I've got it now, so I now have to go back through time and get the photos up. AC/DC next Thursday!

Frustrated with my phone usage again tonight, I uninstalled several pointless and time-consuming apps. It’s a cycle I repeat every few months. During this cycle, I wasted a lot of time on one of those puzzle-matching games. I'm considering switching to Ubuntu Touch at this point

Using Linux hasn't really been fun lately, idk. Nobara, despite building on fedora breaks a lot, but overall the whole ecosystem is so damn inconsistent and fragmented. Not sure if I have gotten more sensitive to this over the years but all I want is a system that "just works" and feels good 😔

I had a great run with Mint for years. I was as boring as it gets. I got a new laptop recently and decided to try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I am really enjoying it, but it is a bit too recent for me to swear by it.

, is this a bug?

No just limitation currently tags are alphanumeric (latin) so it stopped at ñ. I'll see what I can do.

Ahh, I see.

Fixed :)

…

Woot, woot! Hopefully the OP comes back. :-)

I subscribe to the Tony Stark school of engineering. "Sometimes you have to run before you walk." Earlier this year, I built my own static site generator. I hate literally every static site generator out there (not joking). get-taxus.org

hát, jó, éppen telepítem a Windows 11-et, most járok körülbelül annál az érdekes résznél, hogy a TPM 2.0-ás processzor-izé egy Rufus nevű programmal elvileg szoftveresen kiváltható, meg hogy a windows 1125H iso-t kell beletölteni egy minimum 8 GB-os pendrive-ra

Well, I'm currently installing Windows 11, and I'm getting to the interesting part, where the TPM 2.0 processor chip can be replaced in software with a program called Rufus, and where the Windows 1125H ISO needs to be loaded onto a pendrive of at least 8 GB.

azért aranyos, hogy egyből sandbox-ba kell tenni (a Virtualbox egy sandbox), hogy szét ne barmoljon mindent a gépen vagy a szerveren, vagy máshol, azért alapvetően békés kis állatkák ezek az ai chatbotok, na

It's cute because you have to put it in a sandbox right away (Virtualbox is a sandbox) so it doesn't mess up everything on the machine or the server or anywhere else, but these AI chatbots are basically peaceful little animals, right?

I'm not sure the world needs another static site generator, but I made one. get-taxus.org Giving the project some TLC this week, doing some bug squashing. If you want and SSG that doesn't fight you, give it a go.

The world needing one? Never. But you needing one? Always. If you're not using your own SSG, are you even webbing?
