Here ‘Tis. Yes, the very shallow sticky nav at the top of the screen. Yes, whole day. With a nod of homage to https://familyconsignmentstore.com/
@sinabhfuil let’s face it, Dublin is tiny in the scheme of things. That location would be a hop, electric scooter skip and a jump from, say, Dolphin’s Barn.
@freemo the former, I’m sure. Otherwise my (dormant) Insta would just serve me up Bruce Springsteen and plane crash investigation vids😂
Is it excessive to spend a whole day on a small UI component for a Redux Toolkit demo app that’s actually supposed to demonstrate state management? I don’t think so. It has to look great at all sizes and orientations.
Remind you of anyone you know? I hope not! Just marvel in these highly evocative words from this American version of today’s psalter: Psalm 5:10

I asked ChatGPT to recommend some of “the most interesting articles written by the journalist Clive Thompson”
Of the nine it listed …
… seven were ones I hadn’t written, and a few didn’t exist at all, by anyone
One was a pastiche
Only one was truly correct
This performance is so unbelievably terrible it’s almost charitable to call it “bullshit”

A cryptobro DMed me to ask if I wanted to join his mailing list.
I spent slightly too long making this to send in reply.

@kevinteljeur It's a nice problem to have though, right? Pre-pandemic I used to commute Donegal to London. If I'd have asked to WFH back then the answer would've been a solid no.

This month's #newsletter is out now, featuring tourist tin-whistling terrorism, sampling Dublin's most famous dish, and that time Spider-Man took on the IRA. You can sign up for the next one here: https://www.ciaraioch.com/newsletter

Going through some old audio cassettes and just listening to Tape Head Cleaner. Total rip off of John Cage.
@sinabhfuil keep me posted here if you do would you?👍
@sinabhfuil ach silly me I just looked at the dates properly. Is this a thing that you might repeat? Cheers 🤦🏻♂️
@sinabhfuil the link is a dead end at a login portal. Is there another you might share? Sending it to Mrs L who is a natural born writer. 😎
Made with React, Tailwind, and Flowbite in a Vite app if you’re interested, with just a dash of native CSS Grid🙄
...sort of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019) meets The Wrestler (2008)...
