Yikes -- upgrading from a v5 to v6 AstroJS @astro based static blog included fixing 167 errors. API changes, field changes, ... not fun.

#WebDev

If my code didn't have so many Astro-isms right now, I'd likely have rage-changed to another static site generator.

I enjoyed learning more depth about Mutexes and reader writer locks, and CPU cache lines in this video with Jon Gjengset (about 36min of content). The few high level examples are in #RustLang, but the general concepts would apply to other #programming languages as well.

— you probably have one of these Sony Gigavaults — I thought of your older digital cameras and photos when I found it in an uncle’s camera collection.

I haven’t been able to power it up and read any photos from it. It’s either ☠️ or my temp power adapter isn’t managing for some reason. 🫤

The serial numbers would suggest uncle was an early adopter OR they sold poorly (or both).

Packing for an interstate move — trying to puzzle through how to arrange my #MiniaturePainting stands into the fewest boxes (safely) is a puzzle game I don’t enjoy much.

Several not shown may be donated rather than moving them.

One of our #cats was very interested in the progress of the #integrity splashdown.

Suggestions for English speaking #TTRPG #podcast welcomed …

Not live play—instead talking about new products, game play, tips, etc. Any system OK.

Example: I listen to Mike’s @slyflourish but I’ve caught up. 🤓

Business: "We only collect feedback on Facebook ... "

Me: 🤯, bye bye! (Not that they'd know since I'd need to be on Facebook).

🤯 I just started using #Obsidian to edit Markdown files within a development project folder and ... wow, it's such a better editor experience than what's built into most code editors (VS Code).

I wish I'd thought to do this a long time ago. 🤓

I made a few settings changes for (font) appearance and default file locations, but 99% stock. Obsidian creates a .obsidian folder in the root folder, but it's a small price to pay.

I graduated from college many decades ago and on #LinkedIn "People I may know" includes current students at the university.

It's great that in 2026, #healthcare in the USA continues to keep the #FAX industry alive.

Just today, setting up an appointment with a new health system, "fax us your records...."

Mind you - they can transfer the records electronically if the staff were trained properly on their Epic #EHR systems.
