I spent an hour changing the button on the #joycone. I couldn't get the awkward spots right. I broke two buttons. I finally soldered them, but when I tested them, they didn't work. So I decided to watch a video on YouTube...

I soldered it at a completely different angle for some idiotic reason.

Yesterday I started to set up the Ghost CMS... I found out that there is a /ghost path where you can configure everything. I was trying to configure all via scripting #readthemanual

I have met a lot of developers in my life. Late…

I've been using various flavors of KeePass for years (the flavor depending on what my GNU/Linux distro has in its repository). For some years now I've been using KeePassXC and I've just now bothered to look through its documentation.

Hey, it has a Firefox extension so that you can have web login pages pull directly from the password database, once you approve the specific instance (it's not a general approval).

Also, we can merge databases. Makes it easier to manage multiple devices, without having a database operating from the cloud.

Features I could have been using for years...shame on me for not reading the manual earlier!

Only today I saw the preparation instructions for the instant #coffee I've been drinking the past couple of months.

"How to make your creamy cup:
Put 1 Nescafe Classic stick,
2 teaspoons sugar and

Put the coffee powder in a mug.
Add hot water.

No sugar.
No fake cream.
No stirring even!
No kidding.
