@jonw that image is looking pretty jpeg-y; here's a crisp version

Long time ago I received my allergy test results: moderate to dust mites and mild to dog/cat fur. I never had a problem with the latter.

Yesterday I patted a mate's cat who shed a lot of fur. Then I must have rubbed my eye afterwards or something - my left eye swelled, reddened and became itchy. It still feels a little swollen now after a sleep. I've proven my allergy result with hard, practical science.

Send help and antihistamines.

We're just starting to think about our Hallowe'en fire show. Someone suggested "Lovecraft without the racism". Ideas?

Hey local #WordPress friends of mine! I would be delighted to see a few more of you slide in your speaking applications for #wcjxn real soon! I'm extending the call through this weekend just for you! 2019.jackson.wordcamp.org/call

There have been so many retweets and comments from people who have said in one way or another that their parents never said enough of these things to them.

I’m a Father.

So, I’m going to take this moment to say it.

You are loved. I’m proud that you’re still here.

TIL about "bookstanding" meditation. Intriguing, will definitely try before I judge if I can actually make the most out of it. Also mention of books is always a bonus. medium.com/@jasoncomely/one-we

Mastodon widget on my blog has magically returned! Not sure if browser issue initially or something else since I'm on a different computer right now, but good to see it back.

I program for over 20 years. I just closed some tabs from yesterday:

"how to create directory in python"
"concat lists python"
"load 2 models tensorflow"
"how set pythonpath"

and some others.

And yes. I have a masters degree in informatics.

You don't need to learn things that you rarely need & are just 1 duckduckgo away by heart. Knowing that they exist and what to search for is sufficient.

Important are the thing you cannot search. Concentrate on those.

Who would be interested in me building the following server. If I get 100 yes votes or more I will build it.

Cursed Amnesia servers

1) All users must behave and present themselves is a non-identifiable way

2) any user reliably identified will be suspended from the user, they can always open another account

3) Server will change its URL once a day, currently registered users will get an email of the new address

4) when the address changes all handles of users are automatically randomized. Login will remain the same but it will appear as a fresh new account with no posts or followers. The old account will still remain as will your posts.

I've just successfully installed KO reader on my KOBO! Navigation takes some getting used to, but I'm loving the new features. I might start organising my books with Calibre library since KO reader supports sync from Calibre.

Re: my previous toot on keeping track on reading, my KOBO reader just asked if I should check some of the books as unread because they've been sitting at 1% for a long time. 3 out of 5 of those books listed for my review are ones I already read, but I must have accidentally opened it again so the progress reset to 1%.

It still took me about full 10 seconds to recall if I've read them or not. It would suck if I didn't think I have read them.

I wrote some of my thoughts about the decentralization of language on the web while reading 'Because Internet' by @gretchenmcc davidwolfpaw.com/decentralizat

If you do not have a problem, but need to justify your love for wielding hammers, everything will become a nail.

Hey, fediverse, I'm looking for resources to help a friend. #AdviceWanted #autism

She's autistic and has been struggling to balance her responsibilities with the things she enjoys. Her enthusiasm is one of her best qualities, but lately she insists that she can't like anything without it becoming an "obsession" that gets in the way of other things.

Consequently, she's become afraid to have an interest in anything at all. Does anyone know some autism-supportive resources to help her?
