Ok, I'm trying out @dev.to for posting about some tech things. I just wrote something about Postwave: dev.to/dorkrawk/int...

I finally put together a site (and example implementation) for the blog engine I've been working on, Postwave. It's ready for people to start playing around with. Check it out at postwave.blog

Find good problems: dontbreakprod.com/posts/find-g...

Lately I've had the strong urge to work on small tech/programming projects that nobody is likely to care about but me.

This is the AI that's going to take over humanity? Call me when it can do some basic tasks 🦖...

I wrote a bit about how it's nice to have things both configured and configurable after playing around with #omarchy for a while: dinosaurseateverybody.com/blog/playing...

Get good at getting feedback: dontbreakprod.com/posts/handle...

Installing Omarchy on an ancient (2012) MacBook Air has led me ordering a replacement battery to address the horrible battery life. For about $30 this laptop that was gathering dust will be a very usable little machine.

Now: dinosaurseateverybody.com/now

Whoa, LocalSend ( localsend.org ) is incredible for moving files around heterogeneous devices (iPhone, Macs, Linux, Windows, etc.). It just works! No setup, no accounts.

So I dug up an old 2012 MacBook Air and installed Omarchy on it. I guess now I'm spending my night messing around with Arch and Hyprland?

Bad news doesn't age well: dontbreakprod.com/posts/commun...

We feed our leopard gecko live crickets. There is one remaining cricket in his terrarium that has been chirping all day for the past few days. Come on lizard! Just eat him, he's driving me nuts! 🦎

I wrote a blog post about writing and recording my last solo record: dinosaurseateverybody.com/blog/another...

Hmmm... I bet my website ( dinosaurseateverybody.com ) is awful on mobile...

Be happy. dontbreakprod.com/posts/happin...

I'm almost relieved that Omarchy doesn't support dual booting. Now I can stop thinking about replacing my Omakub setup. For now.

I KNOW I don't have the free time to start playing around with Arch, but Omarchy ( omarchy.org ) does look kind of cool....

It's been a while since I've spent some time shuffling around webpage layouts to match a mock up. It's both really frustrating and kind of rewarding.

I'm finally putting out a new EP by my noisy bass-driven solo project, And Or Not. It's called Stereoscopic. Check it out! andornot.bandcamp.com/album/stereo...

I think I'm finally finished with the new And Or Not record! Not that anybody has been clamoring for another solo record from me. But you're going to get one anyways!

I made a programming language! dinosaurseateverybody.com/blog/buildin...

What now? dinosaurseateverybody.com/now

Know yourself! dontbreakprod.com/posts/know-w...

I kind of hate how much I like the album cover I designed (in about 3 minutes) with ChatGPT...

I finally finished recording vocals for this solo record. Now all that's left is a little production and mixing...

The age of LLMs has made serifed fonts all the more important. Otherwise you might confuse Weird Al with weird AI.

It warms my heart that my kids have been so into watching Weird Al music videos lately.

Make the most of being mentored by knowing a little bit about yourself! dontbreakprod.com/posts/make-t...

AI developer tools mean I'm probably never going to properly learn regex.

I was just in Portland last weekend and it made me realize that social media platforms are just gross street poles that I like to staple my weird ideas to so that maybe a few more people will see them.

Know who to ask! dontbreakprod.com/posts/know-w...

Sometimes it's nice enough out that it's worth sacrificing multiple giant monitors and a better keyboard and mouse just to work outside on a laptop.

Be visible! dontbreakprod.com/posts/be-vis...

Ok, if @bensnakepit.bsky.social is doing his comics on an iPad now, I guess I should finally learn to use Procreate when I get back into drawing comics.

Boring is awesome! dontbreakprod.com/posts/embrac...

I just got a new solar powered irrigation system for my raised beds that I want to play with... but it's raining this week...

What am I up to now? dinosaurseateverybody.com/now

I'm at an off-site with coworkers, so this older post seems relevant: dontbreakprod.com/posts/watch-...

I sometimes stop and think how weird it is that it is completely normal to respond to my boss with a ridiculous, animated Slack reaction.

Be pessimistic, but in a good way: dontbreakprod.com/posts/be-pro...

Are you at war? dontbreakprod.com/posts/know-t...

Most mornings I read webcomics from a list on the "links" page of my site ( dinosaurseateverybody.com/links ). A while ago I added a little Javascript so I could open them all with a keyboard shortcut. It's been a really nice little quality of life improvement.

I'm feeling good!

I wrote something that might not be about pizza. 🍕 dinosaurseateverybody.com/blog/making-...
