A baby gate is an effective cat containment device for about 5 days, max. Freedom has been tasted before the house has been kitten-proofed. #IttyBittyKittyCommittiee

We have kittens again. Itty and Bitty. My daughter declared herself president of the "Itty-Bitty Kitty Committee" #IttyBitty

Sometimes, people seem like they exist just to move the plot along.

Mike McCarthy should just let Aubrey try on every 4th down. At this point it can't hurt. #cowboys

I'm still here, doing stuff, working on @orycle.bsky.social... Just not posting on social media a whole lot.

Anyone else's elementary school kid respond with "Ey, yooo!" to literally everything?

We already have a word for this: Computer Generated Imagery, or CGI.

Switching from LastPass to Bitwarden after at least a decade, and surprisingly my attachments did not import. Maybe I had to purchase before doing an import?

The headline was good enough. I clicked.

Onlyfans is just another "for less than a cup of coffee a day" sponsoring program.

Latest shenanigans in video game glitch exploitation, put to a solid Rocket Man + Space Oddity mashup by yOya.

Who's up for some AI? #ArtificialInspiration

Getting the updated COVID-19 booster today, along with the flu vaccine. I expect to be completely useless within 24 hours of the duo, with a side-effect of "out of body experience".

I recently made a series of videos where we tried to break out of the video game content area to see what was out there. I need some more ideas for video game shenanigans. Here's the most popular one.

It’s time for the regularly scheduled announcement that I have another Bluesky invite to give if you want to invite your v v cool pals. Lemme know!

Feature Lead: "Hey, there was a defect assigned to your coworker who worked on a feature. What do you think about it?" Me: *quick research, having never seen that code/feature* "I don't see a problem." FL: "I connected with coworker. He saw the problem, he'll fix it." Me: "ok? good talk?"

Growing up, my family had a pendulum wall clock, that made a tic-tok sound. Over those 15 years, I eventually couldn't hear the tic-tok. My brain noise-canceled the sound. I haven't seen that clock in 25 years, but I can still hear a tic-tok sound, and it still ticks perfect seconds.

That moment when you're about to wrap up an area of code and move on to the next bit of work, then realize you forgot to implement a small bit of a feature, realize you lack a data point to complete it, and now have to go all the way back to database design to implement it.

The first round-trip test of the new @orycle.bsky.social architecture was successful: User requests severe weather alerts by zip code on one service (e.g. discord). Request is registered, alerts are scanned, and all services associated with the user receive alerts.

There has to be a better way of handling a ticket grooming session, for a multidisciplinary team, than just going through every ticket regardless of who could work on it.

Any one want a brand new, unopened, licensed copy of Microsoft VirtualPC 2004?

I spend my entire life avoiding touching my laptop's screen, and then my job gives me a Dell Latitude 7430, and Windows is all "slide down this pane to shutdown"

I used to draw comics on my whiteboard at work.

At the start of this year, I would sit down at my desk with a stacked backlog of tickets with enough feature work to cover the next 18 months. After a layoff, and new job, there is not enough work for the whole quarter to keep me busy for more than a couple days. I don't know what to do with myself

One thing I've learned over the years: between my ability to write flawless code, and a business's ability to offer an enterprise-level paid service - the mistake is *almost definitely* somewhere in my code.

Using AI Code Completion and GPT for code/documentation help is like asking that friend who started learning a few months before you, but they really don't know anything more than you do.

August can go ahead and finish up.
