Let's highlight dialogue topics that are relevant to quests, and link to the quests! #Morrowind #Goatmire #ElixirLang

"The Nerevarine Prophecy was encoded in little-endian floats." I believe this is the first time I've been sold on a talk in the first line of the submission. Rebecca Le is the author behind the Ash book. What a first topic to speak on. goatmire.com/talk/video-g... #elixirlang #goatmire

Two of the cricket teams I support have now been killed by the IPLification of franchise leagues. I hate it I hate it I hate it Melbourne Stars and Oval Invincibles forever

I am absolutely tickled that I can code things like "list all the NPCs in Morrowind, sorted by the number of quests they are a part of." If you don't know what I'm on about, or are curious and want to hear more, I'll be giving a talk about it at Goatmire Elixir! #goatmire #elixirlang

Tried to buy a Big Freeze beanie today but they were sold out at my local Bunnings - everyone is doing their bit to support the fight against MND 💙 Will get a digital one instead! bigfreeze.com.au #BigFreeze

evilmartians.com/chronicles/a... This struck a few chords with me, and describes some of the problems more efficiently than I've been able to. It still doesn't cover all of the problems, though!

So excited to see the continued progress of the Skywind modding project - I've been looking forward to this for many years! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUwR...

In the waning years of the Third Era of Tamriel, a prisoner born on a certain day to uncertain parents was sent under guard, without explanation, to Morrowind, ignorant of the role he was to play in that nation's history... --Today is the 24 anniversary of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind!

Stop making me want to play ESO to see all the places I haven't been yet aaaaaaargh

Ordered some cricket merchandise late on Monday night, shipping from India. Less than four days later, it’s on my doorstep. Global logistics are amazing!

My husband just asked me what I thought would happen if we tried a global push for good like there was to get rid of CFCs in the 1980s. Yeah, I really don't think that would happen these days.

There Is No Antimemetics Division may just be the wildest book I've ever read. My brain is now goo. In a good way. I think. I enjoyed it a lot. I think?

Dear self, please get the motivation to finish/maintain your existing projects/responsibilities before getting the urge to start new ones. Sincerely, me

So I said I’d post another photo of my epic cross stitch project when I reached the 20% mark - that day is today! Unrolling it, it feels both underwhelming and overwhelming at the same time 🤪 (Top to bottom is exactly 72.3cm, or almost 29 inches)

Looking to replace hub's very aging Dell laptop - trying to figure out what is good and what is junk in the Windows laptop world is an absolute nightmare....

This has made my day much better

Thanks for everything Midge 👏 ❤️ #AUSvIND

Gahhhhh Bridgerton part 2 was so beautiful and I cried a bucketload 😭😭 So much better than season 3

Watched one Simon Whistler-narrated video on YouTube, set in my state of Western Australia, and now my feed is absolutely filled with his videos. How does the man have like four thousand different channels, and all of them are utterly fascinating?

Gah why did Bridgerton season 4 have to release in two parts and now I have to wait a month for the second half??? First half was soooo good

I was asked if I had any public demos of the Cinder data collection library, and I didn't, so I built one! cinder.sevenseacat.net/playground Anything else you think it should demo?

If you weren't at Goatmire Elixir in 2025, this is what you missed. Don't make the same mistake in 2026! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZM0...

My husband fixed the lever on my lounge recliner so I can use the footrest again, and I think this is the happiest I've been in months

Because I reached another mini-milestone on my epic cross-stitch project, I thought I'd share another photo. I'm currently at 18.5%! And this is just a tiny zoomed-in bit - when I get to 20%, I might unroll it and take a photo of the whole thing so far 😎

One of the other goals I set for myself this year was to get back into language learning. I did pass the N5 Japanese exam at the end of 2024, do I continue that and aim for N4 this year? Or do I start learning Korean, or continue with my Esperanto studies? Decisions, decisions...

So one of my goals for this year is to blog more. But I never know what to write about - what do I know that people would want to hear about??

See, now there's the added FOMO angle. Soooo many other people have read it in 2025, and if you haven't? That's a real shame. (All jokes aside, *incredibly* honoured to receive this title - PragPrag and their books have absolutely shaped and improved my and so many others' careers.)

If you haven't bought the Ash Framework book yet - first of all, why not? And second of all, it's 40% off which makes it cheap cheap! I heard it's pretty good 👀

Finally got around to reading Into Thin Air, by Jon Krakauer - I have no idea why anyone would want to climb Everest, it sounds like absolute hell. Great read though.

Smart TVs and smart TV apps were a fucking mistake. It's taken me a full twenty minutes (and over a dozen app crashes and TV restarts) to get a single episode to play from the start in the Kocowa app

Having way too much fun with my Morrowind data project, and learning a ton along the way. Build the things that interest you, and don't avoid the tricky stuff!

Aussie Aussie Aussieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee we're pretty good at this cricket thing hey 🏏

I'm gonna need one of Zed and Linear to change their icons, having them side-by-side in my dock is very confusing

So I've been hacking away on my little Morrowind data project on and off for a few months now, and its coming along super awesomely. 🥰 ... I just realized that I also need to make a Skyrim version, for when Skywind (eventually) comes out 🙀

Hah, BlueSky has blocked access to DMs without age verification.

I just completed all 12 days of Advent of Code 2025! #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com #ElixirLang

This is the most batshit conference presentation I've ever been part of. Zach announces something for Ash, as per usual, but let's just say that's mostly the backdrop.. goatmire.bold.video/v/e37me #goatmire #elixirlang

TIL: LiveView assigns change tracking gets a little bit funky around form inputs that render as `type=“hidden”`. It won’t send `unused ` flags, so your components might not re-render when you expect them to! #ElixirLang

I've completed "Secret Entrance" - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/1

Next 0.5% of my epic cross-stitch project done, this is 17.5%! It's good to just chuck some cricket on the TV, or an audiobook on my phone, and just stitch away in the evenings. Very relaxing. (bonus zoomed-in photo so you can see just how many different thread colours go into making such detail 🫠)

It's happeningggggggg! #AdventOfCode

Recently discovered the enjoyment of listening to audiobooks while I cross-stitch. Got to the last few chapters of my first book and then Spotify tells me that I’m out of listening time for the month 🫠

Finished the year of bowling with a respectable 485 series, and my team finishing probably 7th. Not bad, not bad. 🎳 Barely missed out on getting my fifth 200 game for the year. Next year I'll try for five.

It’s a good day to be an Aussie cricket fan! 🏏 (Obligatory “lol England”)

One day I'll be able to concentrate on my side projects for more than about ten minutes 😓 I keep starting and restarting and restarting

Time to roll up the fabric and start on the next column of pages! (yes this is being stitched sideways because my scroll frame isn't wide enough to stitch it the right way around)

Having a bit of fun lately asking Claude to explore my app ideas by asking me questions, and then creating wireframes/prototypes. I haven't tried actually building the apps yet though, that's the hard part 😅

Friday afternoons are the best time of the week, when the whole weekend stretches in front of you and it feels like everything is possible
