I am on a mission to buy the books I loved as a child, but so many of them are impossible to find.

Thinking of a bot that adds random legit-sounding meetings to your calendar over the course of the year but then sends you an email 30 minutes before saying sorry it's had to cancel. Kind of an Oh-Thank-Fuck-As-A-Service.

My dough didn't rise much overnight :/ This is not a euphemism. I'm still looking forward to pizza. Instead of a completely tomato base, I have a short-dated snack pack of mozzarella balls in pesto I plan on using up, maybe with some pre-air-fried torn bits of chicken.

Just had a flashback to when you could wipe the static off a TV screen with the palm of your hand. You could wipe invisible stuff in a strip from one side to the other and leave the rest under it's own force field. Magic.

Today's episode of "how old am I". I have NOW (that's what I call music) 6. It's the good one, with Cities In Dust on it. Reminded me, however, that people used to have to pay as much as, or sometimes more than, an album to basically have some rando's playlist.

The middle bit of my office chair's been tearing up the carpet for ages now, and I thought I'd never get it apart to fix. I took the wheels off, put a block of wood on the pavement and rested the cylinder on that. Then I went round in a circle, stamping the shit out of it one leg at a time […]

Making a pizza tonight. Dough looks promising. Sauce is mostly from sundried tomatoes and garlic so it'll be rich. Given the state of the world, the most appropriate music I could think to play was History Repeating by propellerheads + Shirley Bassey. Haven't listened to this in far too long […]

I hate when I click on what I think is the login CTA for a site and it turns out to be the sign-up form, when "login" is relegated to a second click. That's just shit. I wish sites would stop doing it.

Ran DeepSeek locally, and first asked it what John Singer Sargent's most impactful work was, and it's insisting it was his time with New Order, crossing New Wave with Post Punk. I told the prompt that he died half a century before that and it patiently explained to me how I was wrong, and […]

I thought I had a second-stage interview this afternoon. I'd had to cancel the first one with 15 minutes or so to spare because of the storm taking out the power, and just about manager to reschedule. So I thought it was at 3pm. The agent asked me to remind him the time this morning and so I […]

The power went out about half an hour before I had a job interview. Expected back on sometime tomorrow pm. Apparently there's some sort of Weather Event. Oh well, I've sent them a message asking for a reschedule. I've been doing a jigsaw but it's too dark for that now.

In the middle of my dream last night, when I was on the beach being shadowed by a giant UFO, it got suddenly really foggy and everything stopped moving. Then a button appeared in the sky, reading, "Are you still dreaming?"

LinkedIn is the worst "social" media platform I've seen so far as adding alt-text to images. It doesn't enforce it, but it does have an "Alt Text" button when you paste an image. It's just that the sort of people who post on LinkedIn are the sort of people who think an image of text is great […]

I'm having really meta dreams again. Last night I had a dream which I fully remember because I woke up and recounted it to a friend, telling them that was the only way to commit it to long term memory. That was also part of the dream, but it worked, apparently.

Back in the BASIC 8-bit days when I was a kid, I'd sometimes write a couple of lines to repeat an odd-length string of block drawing characters. Because it was so slow at scrolling, the screen would end up with a repeating hypnotic pattern moving upwards. I'd sometimes stare at these for hours.

It doesn't matter if an AI actor is playing Fortnite or Zork, it just needs to present the right button clicks in the right order. This is one reason I prefer keyboard to game controller. It gives me the illusion that I have more impact on the outcome than if I were playing flappy bird.
