Kind of shocked to hear that Atlassian is buying The Browser Company. Did not expect any synergy to spark between those two. Anyway, all the best to The Browser Company. May I suggest that they keep away from the Jira side of the business. Here be dragons over there.

Blew someone’s mind today when I told them I’ve never seen Top Gun. All I know about that movie is that it’s American, it involves planes, and that someone, possibly Tom Cruise, needs speed for some reason.

Saw a Stack Overflow answer for a Stripe question linking to a Discord message as a source. I’m sorry, but for SO questions about Stripe, citing some random message on Discord is not good enough, even if the poster is Stripe support. You may as well cite “some Stripe dev I overheard at a conference.”

TIL that you can use
+++to add a page break in iA Writer:the previous page +++ the next pageJust tried it in a export and it works great. I’ve been in hell wrangling PDF exports of stuff all week so to learn that this feature exists is one nice glass of ice water indeed.

Starting to work on the background tiles. This is what I have so far. I hope it’s not too busy or distracting.

Tonight’s menu: a chicken schnitzel burger from the local fish-and-chips shop, enjoyed at a local park. Haute cuisine at its finest. 😀

Just used a web-app with a table that had checkboxes to select multiple items, yet no actions that operated on those items in bulk, which is a tad misleading. And it’s not like I didn’t have appropriate permissions. I did what I needed to do. I just had to do it to one item at a time.

Can humanity create an AI so intelligent, that it knows not to interrupt with a marketing interstitial when I’ve started typing out the prompt? One of the greatest questions of our time, apparently. 😒

3.78 GHz for a phone chip! I remember getting a desktop clocked at just over 1 GHz and thinking that was the fastest computer I've ever used. These phone chips are almost 4 times faster, and there's like 7 cores here, with 5 clocked faster then 3 GHz. Absolutely crazy when you think about it.

📺 Brian Will: Object-oriented Programming is Bad
Enjoyed this video about what makes OOP crummy. No spoilers but it’s not what you think (or it wasn’t what I thought). Didn’t agree with every argument but still quite though provoking.

Has anyone considered an app that takes a photo and screenshot at the same time? If such an app existed, they would’ve seen my post of a pigeon walking by while I’m looking at a headline about bird watching.

Is “deregistration” a word? I always though it was, and online searches seem to suggest that it is. Yet MacOS’s spellchecker considers it a spelling error of “reregistration”. Odd, though not wholly surprising. Maybe I should be using “unregistration,” which doesn’t get the red underline.

It’s not unheard of to have animals, usually kangaroos, on our line near the down end where it’s quite bushy. But this is well within the inner city. I wonder what it could be. 🤔

Devlog: Godot Project — Bricks in Level 2-3 Laid
Just a quick update today. I’ve finished all the brickwork in level 2-3. And it didn’t go too badly. Made one significant mistake which would’ve involved a lot of rework, that I patched up with some single tiles: Top: the mistake. Bottom: the fix. Doing the rest of it was pretty dreary work. Godot does have some tools to make this easier, but there was no getting around the level of care needed to place the bricks correctly. Continue reading →

Not sure how PTV is expecting people to pay the tram fare when half the Myki readers are non-functional.

Nice to think that we’ve finally reached the paperless office future we’ve all dreamed of, yet we still struggle to make sure things look good printed out because we’re now passing files as PDFs.
Why yes, I am trying to make a good looking PDF export from Confluence.

Virtual machines of early PC operating systems, such as Windows and OS/2 1.0, that run in the browser. For anyone else who’s interested in a nostalgic kick. Don’t forget to check-out the list of included software installable via the virtual floppy drive.

Timed my morning coffee perfectly today. Was able to photograph the steam train heading to the Wattle Festival this morning. It was pulling a Tait set, a rare sight for my eyes.

Devlog: Shutting Down Nano Journal
With the move to Obsidian for my journalling needs, I shut down my bespoke journalling web-app. I deployed it on 26th August 2024, which makes it just over a year old. I did start using Obsidian on the 20th though, so it didn’t quite make it the entire year. Even so, not bad for something hand made and somewhat neglected. Most things I eventually abandon last way less than that. Continue reading →

I just love these posts on game development making comments about the hardest part being the programming. Mate, I wish the hardest part of game development is the programming. For me, it’s by far the easiest. It’s everything else that I struggle with.

On the mailing list for someone who releases weekly digest newsletters using both Patreon and Substack. Both are now truncating the email, requiring me to click through to read the entire thing. Seems like a terriable middle ground between a newsletter (read the whole thing in my email client) and a website (read the whole thing in an RSS reader).
