If there’s one thing the internet has taught me, it’s that there’s always someone else. Knowing we aren’t alone in whatever thing is such a powerful feeling.
Anyway, happy Pride Month to all who celebrate.

If I had any doubts about making the Smolblog app a Progressive Web App, they’re gone now.

I know this is the 1% of First World Problems… but I really don’t get recruiters that send solicitations to my work email. Like, y’all know my bosses could read that, right?
And we are officially at the stage of ruthlessly cutting anything that can be cut for a Minimally Viable Product.
Latest deferment is custom permalinks.
I’ve got time off in a week and a half and I want to be able to work on implementing ActivityPub then!
I really hope these plants turn out well. We just planted a lemon tree, a poblano, and a mint.
I also hope the Organic Fertilizer we got washes out. 💩
No, you’re writing a form builder because the thought of all that boilerplate is more daunting than writing a DSL and the components to go with it. 🫠
Bookmarking this older Mastodon blog post as an example of how an AGPL-licensed project can handle someone using the code in an undesirable way.
Pour one out.
First world problem here: my Jeni’s Pint Koozie kept slipping off my ice cream. Started to wonder if the elastic was finally giving out.
Finally realized the koozie is fine; Häagen-Dazs skimped out on their “pints” and made them 14oz instead of 16oz. 😡
Feels like I’m getting close to what I would call an MVP for Smolblog. Currently wiring up some projections and trying to event-source my way into making WordPress do what I want.
This is either madness or brilliance…
It looks like the new Twitter rules mean Micro.blog will stop posting to Twitter. So… yeah. See y’all… somewhere else.
My iOS app was released ten years ago today. It was first written between jobs amidst a lot of uncertainty. But it was my first step towards the kind of programming job I wanted. Anyway, it’s updated and you should check it out.
Took a mental health day to recharge and clean a bit, so meet the new desktop! New this time: Air96 keyboard from NuPhy and a Sonic v Shadow deskmat from Higround.
YouTube TV: Hey, we’re losing MLB network.
Me: Any price adjustments?
YTTV: Yeah, it’s going up by $8.
Me: …hey, Siri?
Siri: Yes?
Me: Play “Won’t get fooled again.”
Sometimes it’s fun to see what I can do in one evening with my exclusively self-taught skills in Motion.
If only actually making the videos the graphics are for wasn’t so much work.
Anyway, have a Smolblog bumper.
Heard that there are plans in place to take care of SVB’s customers. As someone employed by one of those customers… thanks.
There need to be consequences for those responsible for this, not for those affected.
This FreeCell app gives 10 points for moving cards to the foundation but deducts 5 for every other move. But your score can’t go below zero. So every move with 0 points is free.
So if you turn off auto-solve and manage to sort everything…
Heads up if you had an active Tweetbot or Twitterific subscription, the developers are beginning refunds. For Tweetbot, you can transfer to Ivory or opt-out entirely.
I’ll encourage anyone that can to opt-out of a refund in support of these small businesses.
Okay, since LocalWP still doesn’t have PHP 8.0 (much less 8.2!), what’re people using these days for WordPress development?
How are people getting their taxes done these days? Just found out my usual accountant isn’t available this year.
And Miller/Coors/Blue Moon gets the first genuine LOL of the night.
So on Twitter I got a lot of news by osmosis. Anyone have any Micro.blog or fediverse accounts they recommend on that front? Or should I just start curating my Apple News again?
I don’t want to be as angry as Twitter could make me, but I do want to keep an eye on things.
Does anyone know if the free Twitter API tier is one user per application? Or is it 1.5k tweets per user?
More Twitter changes! Except these might mean this blog might stop cross-posting. So you can also follow me at

What Discord do I join to discuss extensions to Markdown? 😉
No but seriously, what do y’all think of using @ //url/to/embed
as a block-level element to denote embedding remote content (like a YouTube vid or Tumblr post)?
