@packetcat good morning! I slept for almost two.
I think my day might include a nap.

Naturally, 5am is when Barry wants to be a lap kitty. For nearly a whole minute.
Not so much “wants” as “is willing” but still he was in my lap, biscuits were made, and no blood was shed.

@catsalad the ears are saying a lot right now

@carlton I still use GitHub as backup, with mirror repos for (some of) the stuff that lives somewhat precariously on a Raspberry Pi Gitea instance.

Ah you can tell I’m enjoying myself when part of the puttering includes checking in with https://caniuse.com

yeah processing images for responsive srcsets definitely added some overhead to initial build time. Ten minutes to process 3,306 images.
But only 13s for the second build, so I’ll allow it.

They got all their fingers more often than not these days. Now you can focus on the awful taste and the vague feeling that you’re looking at a Ben Garrison work.
Not sure whether the replacement of terrible stock image selection with terrible generative image prompting in festive holiday LinkedIn posts is a good thing or a bad thing.
Gonna mark it as a good thing, giving an early warning signal not to ever entrust that person, team, or company with a design brief.

@vantablack it’s a very particular kink

I mean it’s always been my core Christmas song, but yeah really feeling it this year.
🎵 Father Christmas, give us some money🎵 We got no time for your silly toys🎵 We’ll beat you up if you don’t hand it over🎵 We want your bread, so don’t make us annoyed🎵 Give all the toys to the little rich boys

@farah I mean it might not be your style, but I make room for short notes on my blog. Good way to share random thoughts and indicate continued existence.

It is December 24th and I have completed wrapping Christmas presents.
In wrapping paper, not gift bags.
And I didn’t just impulsively hand them over the day after I got them.
An #ADHD victory.

@lmorchard I love seeing moments like that.

Finding myself using Logseq again for the first time in a few weeks, which also means cleaning some stray tasks related to $gig[-1].
(light sigh)

@thegibson I remember those days! I still miss my tank of a gaming laptop from ~2015.

@edebill yeah these weren’t work specifically so much as tasks encouraging me to improve my workflow or address feedback-related issues. More of a brain dump with some emotional weight.

Me the other day: Hey let’s make a fresh Astro iteration of the site! Sure it’s a lot of fiddly bits but they’re all solved problems we should have it all done by the new year.
Me this morning: Hey uh maybe we should itemize exactly which tasks remain before we can call this deployable.
Me this evening, having finished one of 27 tasks: I don’t think I’m gonna have it all done by the new year
But at least I’m having fun and learning things.

Finished 2 of 27 or so: cover images work again.
The layout’s just me having fun with an awkward attempt at pure CSS masonry layout. It won’t be sticking around in exactly that form.

@suzannealdrich Hadn’t heard of Hugo Blox. “No code,” but sounds like a lot of configuration?
