a task i had been putting off for literal years took exactly one measly hour to complete. i will learn nothing from this

My feeds have folks attending Worldcon and other folks attending USENIX Security, simultaneously, in the same hotel.

Folks at both events are saying, "Wow! For once we're not the weirdest people in the hotel!"

I love you all, but have bad news: you are all the weirdest, but differently weirdest.

There was a moment on Tuesday that 99% of the World's population was in sunlight.

It's been 43 years since this album came out. I probably know every note, phrase and lyric on it, and I'm still not tired of it.

eSpeak can read the Shavian alphabet now so I've just been reading about it and messing about with a site where you can type it.

If I've got this write, "a yellow cat" in Shavian is 𐑩 π‘˜π‘§π‘€π‘΄ 𐑒𐑨𐑑.
Here's the official site for it.
