Theory: We could build much smaller and more efficient homes if we had them constantly spray hot water on the occupant

Here's my favourite photos I've taken on my trip so far. More on the blog.

But what the fuck do its badges even mean?! I have a little 20 by the unread and there are 7 items

Uh, this is specifically the iOS app. the site just gives a normal number

I'm currently sorting through photos I took while sitting at the airport and a thing I appreciate is that both the taking of the photos and the tagging them aid in learning things about the world around me.

When I'm out and about I'm looking for new and interesting things to photograph or new ways of looking at familiar things. Then, later, when I'm home, there's learning in trying to find the name of a new flower I saw, or trying to track down where I saw a cool building or the name of an interesting sculpture

Travel between the US and Canada is common (I've been known to do it myself) and as a consequence of that, the US has their own customs agents at many (all?) Canadian airports (the rest of the security people for travel to the US might even be TSA? I don't remember off-hand). A consequence of this is that many Canadian Airports end up having two sections: US and Domestic/International. Accidentally stumbling into the truth about the US's place in the Canadian psyche

Each of the little divots in the rumble strip along the highway is full of water reflecting the morning sun

Spent the morning walking through a forest. It was nice

thanks.

bugs (ambiguated)

From London, Ontario to Paris, Texas

Ok, if li and casey are posting their roadmaps, here's mine:

• Make the image link absolute so it isn't broken in feed readers. I just noticed this and I'm not fixing it at midnight. This would also make the images not broken when I look at drafts (that's right, I've had drafts for a while)
• Add support for other attachment types
• What if I actually had a parser for the post editor so I could write markdown
• Adding an avatar both for myself and for posts I reply to
• User links for posts I reply to
• Add support for re-importing posts from other sites (I can manually edit them at least)
• A specific CSS rounded corner that's broken for replies
• Add a comment (mailto) link and maybe a comment post type that can appear in the feed
• A bunch of boring behind-the-scenes cleanup

Do you have any plans to release this so others can use it?

Nope. Just for me

I added support for image attachments

kind of blowing up my spot for when I announce I've bought the name 'cohost'

They’re way ahead of me. It's not a race or a competition but I am losing

kind of wild how anything I don't personally care about or have to deal with just doesn't exist

After video surfaced of me calling variety the spice of life back in 2017

guy in front of me: This is going so slow, they should open up another security line

me, wisely: I guess you've never heard of induced demand, huh

I wasn't planning on posting photos today but there was a hawk (I think a Cooper's Hawk) in a tree in my yard eating another bird so I had to take a few photos. I wouldn't say the photos are especially gory but they are photos of a bird being dismembered.

If you want to see the only photo in the set that isn't gory, here's some salsify growing in my yard:

I'll add an actual comment option at some point (i.e., a mailto: link like I do for some of my other sites and like several people have done for their new post sites) but feel free to just send comments using the ask link. If you want to be pseudonymous let me know.

How will comments appear? Will comments appear?

It will probably depend on the comment. I might turn it into an ask/post. I might reply to your email (what I originally planned to do for that last one). Or I might just sort of nod at it and think wow, they're so right for saying that.

Probably I'll either make it so the word asks in the ask format can be says or some other intransitive verb. Maybe I'll make it a new post type so it can appear in the feed but have the external post styling like the ones I import to reply to.

I'm not stealing Misty's thing. This is a different time of day.

Anyway, there's a new Jeff Parker album next month and it isn't a solo one. Cool!

Has there been a disaster that limits supply? Let's make sure that supply is only available to the people likely to be least impacted by that disaster

But it time to admit that soup truly is nature's goop?

We should build a structure that is so unimaginably large that to gaze upon it is drive yourself mad contemplating its scale. Obviously you won't be able to take it all in at once but like viewing a human by way of a single blood cell.

Enchanted swords are such a goofy idea. I would get so incredibly killed by a run-of-the-mill non-magic sword. No need to was magic on it

Uh, the enchantment could make it lighter or unbreakable or whatever?

A waste of time and effort. I'm not budging on this one

Casey says:

now bcj is reblogging things too and I haven't implemented h-entry support yet!

The trick is kind of a two-fer:

• I was procrastinating on things that were much more important for me to do
• Since I have no ambitions of releasing this as a general tool, I can rush out functionality in real janky ways. E.g., why isn't this post a reply? Because my thing would completely butcher your post and I have no way of previewing that in advance and while I can edit my own posts I have no way to edit imported ones short of manually modifying a row in a database (this is also why my other reply to you incorrectly has a title right now)

Didn't get my updates to this site done today but I did finally get a new time in the No Gold category in Spelunky 2. This one is a good 50 seconds better than my previous time (which was, bizarrely, the first teleporter run I ever completed). By ranking, this is my best category by far now as I am 68th on Mossranking.

It's the weekend where I make soup and also a bunch of bigger changes to my posting site to make future development easier

Just something I think we should have

Wow, I hope Casey gets a version of Octobug out soon so more people start posting again. Not trying to rush them, they're going to release it when it's good and ready but also there's a reason there's is top posts and mine is merely posts now.

"This movie reminds me of several other movies"

my server tried to stop me from posting that. Was it because I was onto something or because I started downloading movies last night and ran so out of space that it couldn't create a single post. Who can say?

And to me that's what makes it the cinema

#talkies, #i haven't implemented tags

I added the ability to edit posts but not yet to delete them so I'm repurposing this one.

I'm going to try to make at least one update to this thing every day until it's nice to use and easier to interact with others

li asks:

any fans of coffee out there?

Oh hey, I like coffee. Right now I'm drinking some cold brew that is over-extracted. I made cold brew yesterday and not all of it fit in my carafe so this is the remains that were still had the grounds submerged in them

On a technical level:

• Make this not miserable to use (I am handwriting this list that will hopefully render correctly)
• Add functionality like embedding things
• Make sure these posts all have the right metadata

On a non-technical level:

• Make this not feel like I am whispering into a void. Make this feel like I can talk to people
• Make this feel like I can talk to people who are not programmers
• Work out how I can find other people out there that I don't already know
