I've used Instapaper for a decade now, and I just found the feature which allows you to sort it so the oldest articles appear first.

Total game changer. 😂

Big shout out to @simon and his "annotated presentation creator" tool.

I was several hours into using it to annotating a talk I gave a couple days ago when I fumbled my mouse and accidentally refreshed the page, losing all that work in the process.

I went to reload all my images and saw the option to "Restore 77 stored textareas".

I went from "flipping chairs in my kitchen" angry to "unbelievably relieved" within a matter of moments. 😂

You know that two-panel meme where the guy is staring at the screen and in the top panel he says "Why doesn't this code work?" and in the bottom he says "Why is this code working?"

That's me using locally-hosted large language models for the last 48 hours.

I was just thinking “I wish I had a place that I can post thoughts without having to come up with a blog post for it.”

And then I remembered Mastodon existed! 🫥🫥🫥

I have been digitizing a ton of old family photos from my parent's collection, and many of them have a date burned into the bottom corner of the image.

I've always wanted a utility that takes in a bunch of JPGs, detects and parses any date found in each image, and then saves the date to the EXIF data.

I'm also trying to learn how to use generative AI to make my development easier, so I've been feeding prompts into ChatGPT to get it to work.

I'm a big fan of a cappella music, going so far as to admit I was in a barbershop quartet in an earlier life.

However, as I'm listening to all the music in my music library, I've been listening to exclusively a cappella music for the past few hours, and I have come to the realization that a cappella music is much better in person than recorded.
