Art

    I made a different version of this image earlier today. Glad I found the discipline to do what needed to be done, giving me the opportunity to change it to this:

    Auto-generated description: A mock-up of a reminder for a tax return due on 24 September 2024, with options to Mark Complete or Snooze, with a mouse cursor hovering over the Mark Complete option, giving the sense that the user will click it.

    More DOS game nostalgia watching on YouTube over the last few days. This time on Commander Keen, an absolute favourite of mine growing up. For all the other Keen fans out there, this one’s for you.

    A message written in Standard Galactic Alphabet in a style that attempts to resemble pixel art from the 90s. Message reads as follows: Might be that building something that would generate a message in SGA is super nerdy. And you would be right. But I needed something to post this evening.

    And yes, making this is how I spent my evening. 😄

    So, this is how my morning went.

    A drawing of a Git commit tree showing a successful merge of Y with a green CI/CD run, a few commits of me making changes to a branch over the course of 2 days, then eight commits with a few minutes between each one with each one having a red CI/CD run. The commit messages suggest that each one was an attempt to fix the CI/CD problems of the previous one.

    Apologies to my reviewers for all the notification emails they’re receiving during this battle with the CI/CD build.

    Key ring.

    Cracked open Acorn to come up with a new wordmark for Apple:

    The word 'Apple' with an uppercase I replacing the lowercase L, with both the A and I in black with the remaining letters in grey

    Yes, I know I’ve got work to do. 😜

    Working with PostgreSQL is an absolute joy. Such an amazing database. Just goes to show that the fun tech out there is not always the new and shiny. The battled hardened, featureful, bread-and-butter tools that tends to get overlooked can be just as good (Linux falls into that category as well).

    Created using Vintage Logo: a poster with a vintage car and the headline ‘PostgreSQL’ and sub-headline ‘Still Effin’ Amazing’.

    Playing around with Vintage Logo this morning. HT to @odd and @mandaris for posting a link to this iOS app. They’ve got some very nice logo templates here, including this art deco one featuring a bird in flight.

    Used it to make this logo, which I call: lodgings for the evening.
