UNIXy Guy. He/him. Prone to shouting "PUPPY" in public. I frequently (almost every day, in fact) give away Kindle genre books using #KindleBookGiveaway hashtag, and wrote a feed named "Kindle Book Giveaway" -- but remember bsky has hashtags now!

DEMOCRATIC ELECTEDS: You need to be holding hearings like Raskin/Schiff did but on the bloodbaths at Social Security and IRS. DOGE can now pocket everyone's personal information. IRS is being set up to make billionaire taxes optional; no more phone support # at SSA. HOLD THE HEARINGS.

I was curious how well Swift's random number generator was. So I wrote a very simple SwiftUI app, using Charts, that created a bar graph. Every .01 seconds, it selects a random index (out of a thousand), and increments the corresponding one.

Ugh. Wasp in my office. Tony found her — she was walking around my ceiling lamp. I went out to get an electric fly swatter; when I came back she was walking on my (metal) screens. So I smushed her more than shocked her.
