I have too many projects that I want to do at once to pick between them and so I am just sitting here doing nothing and feeling exhausted. Yay ​:SwissCheeseBrain:​

Least relaxing "holiday weekend" I've had in years. The next person who asks how my vacation was is going to be (mentally) tied to the tracks.

Woke up to my alarm to find that I had forgotten I was supposed to be on site today instead of remote. Instead of being an hour early for work I was nearly 3 hours late.

I'm already over summer and it's barely even here.

Client: Hello! We want to [thing]! Me: Okay we can definitely do that. Will you want to do any of the following: [feature 1], [feature 2], or [feature 3]? Those take more time to set up and have additional costs. Client: NO! We just want [thing]. (two days later) Client: Wait, why can't [thing] […]

"Someone aught to ... " My friend, this is an anarchy. You are the someone. Do what must be done. Ask for help if that's what you need, but don't just stand there and wish for things to happen.

This is the only kind of age verification measure I support. RE: https://digipres.club/users/foone/statuses/116535324556397364

The scene: four different projects strewn across my desk, each missing some (completely separate) single piece to allow them to be completed. Me: starting a fifth project.

Not gonna, I burst out laughing reading the last bit.

I find myself struggling to finish projects sometimes. But tonight I finally wrapped up a project that had been on external hold for several years, which I hadn't really had any contribution to in the past year, and I didn't think I would ever be done. Now it's done and I'm feeling oddly […]

Brief hosting outage can't stop TGV Tuesday

Can't stop the signal.

I apparently have nothing to add to the discussion

Quick reminder for anyone who needs it: hashtags in your post are not content warnings. Most every software that does activitypub has them, please use them.

delete me now if you don't think NASA is cool.

Rode the train, and almost forgot to post the train.

What if we could actually have nice things?

Today I learned #til: "human.json" 👉 https://foosel.net/til/humanjson/

oh look, it's a day of the week

I feel like every time I finally find a problem worth working on I have to learn a new programming language just to keep up.

Everything is garbage, except for all the things that aren't. Stop scrolling garbage and make something worth having, even if it's just for you and your friends. Be cool to each other, and get on the train.

I just spent the last 24 hours building... a free tool to create your very own handwriting font quickly within the browser (no logins, all local processing): https://arcade.pirillo.com/fontcrafter.html Having tested it extensively on my own manuscript, I […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I love when new people follow me.... And sometimes I love that I can click the "remove follower" button. Thanks for coming to find me! Or, in the case of the one AI troll... thanks for letting me click that cool button!

Had a really nice time at tech night last night.

I have seen the words #butlerianjihad more today on fedi than I have since that time I read EVERY Dune book.

I don't know how to stop crying.

Gotta keep rolling. Life keeps getting me down, but there's still a train to run.

haven't been outside in 2 days. I hear its snowy though. basement life is real.

When the train hits your eye, and you scream "oh god, why?!"

Okay, I think this thing is ready-enough to tell people about it. I made a #BBS to watch aircraft near #YUL (#Montreal airport), through my home #ADSB antenna setup. It's a #Swift NIO based app that runs on a #RaspberryPi (3) in my office network closet, so please […] [Original post on scoat.es]

Maybe this is a weird hill to die on but when you send me an URGENT message that asks me to fix something for you, I respond immediately with a clarifying question and you then GHOST ME for HOURS I think your issue was either TOO urgent or NOT ACTUALLY URGENT AT ALL.

Every once in a while I look at the sponsor tiers for small events. My business plan for my company is basically "throw money at cool shit for advertising, get people to give you more money to throw at cool shit".

I didn't forget to post this... but I might have forgotten what day it was.

So, since everything is gone I get to build it back better. Maybe it's time to finally write my book.

So, I guess I hadn't posted about this here other than vague ranting about computer shit lately. I lost all my personal VM infrastructure recently. My provider got crypto-locked and it's all just gone. All my storage nodes, all my (other) VPS services. Everything except firetribe and a few […]

Something inside says to "give up", "stop trying", "don't bother", "it doesn't matter", "you can't change anything". But then you remember...

I'm re-reading Transmetropolitan again. It feels bad that this is so close to reality. Like really really bad. I do indeed hate it here.

I'm so tired of computer. Too bad it's like my entire thing.

Well that was fun, completely broke my access to the server there briefly. We're back now. Yay.

When your room looks kind of weird and you wish that you weren't there, just close your eyes and make make believe. You can be anywhere!

Don't mind me, just having fights with the people in my head again.

[rant] When telling someone who's volunteering their time that they're "taking too long" or "this task is so easy". Maybe consider offering to help instead. Telling someone that something they're struggling with is "simple" and then WALKING AWAY AND LETTING THEM STRUGGLE makes you an ASSHOLE […]

Test your backups.

I think the thing I'm most worried about here is how this is going to affect hosted services like Dropout.tv. I need my Dimension 20 fix! RE: https://mastodon.social/users/kottke/statuses/115979240241733454

I still can't figure out what the draw of DMR is... AllStarLink lets me use my regular radio and do the same interconnection "across the world" thing, but doesn't sound like garbage. I keep playing with this, but I just can't figure out what the hell it's supposed to be good at.

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your train.
