Good morning all! Y'know, I think one truly only misses something (like arms working right) when it's taken away. Blah. But these things happen; I still count 2 arms attached as Very Good. Nifty news is my all-nighter did produce good stuff, onwards; have a grand day all!

Good afternoon! I'd say that yep - this image basically describes how the last few days have been treating me. Hate it when I run straight into the same bottleneck again! Still, today's another day so full speed a head. Have a great day all!

What's your take on Base44 and ChatGPT Sites? I'm having a blast creating apps in both platforms. It's mind-blowing to me that these platforms let you "talk" your apps into existence.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Extremely tiring yet really good day. The quality of app that ChatGPT creates via its Sites goodie looks beyond professional! Very pleased. Did I also mention tired? Ah well, Nn!

Argh. Really gotta love how rock bottom always seems to have an elevator with only 1 direction… and it’s ain’t up. All together now: “it’s Adventure Time!”

So. 6 weeks out from fracturing my upper arm into 4 pieces, apparently a.) I'm healing as expected and b.) it's still impossible for me to actually sleep without my arm spasming. Joy! Ah well, things could always be worse. Back to automations.

Mooses state it’s 1:45am and there is an incredible lightning storm waltzing about my area. Luckily it doesn’t bother them and yep; sleep is looking quite dismal now. But will try! Nn all.

All I will say is some days are great while other days take several weeks to complete. Upwards and onwards!

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Yep, I reckon that basically describes me today. Kinda at 6s and 7s - next week I get to status of shoulder and weird elbow. But for now there’s only 1 working word now - coffee!

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Mooses state eventually it will be 3:29am. Yours truly hopes she’ll be asleep. Nn.
010
Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Mooses state it’s past 2:40am. Unsurprisingly, Mooses also comment on the sheer idiocy of overdoing things the first day you feel your arm is doing well. Carry on.

I'm back and let me tell you, burnout is one heck of an extremely painful issue to deal with.

Ah, memories of my business 28 years ago when I’d travel about the country, providing Internet Recruiting seminars. Good times.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Welp, as it’s now past 2am, methinks it’s a good time to actually call it a day/night etc . Unhappy with this week’s output. Must regroup. Anywhos, Nn all.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Finally after some time, my arm has come alive once more. Working now on finalizing the sales page graphics. Ideally, I'll have a few hours to get this stuff done. Hope your day was grand!
000
Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
A definitely great way for progress to pause is waking up and missing an operational arm. Hopefully should re-emerge later on. Have a great day, all!

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
Can anyone put my arm to sleep? As the Mooses stated it’s not even 2:30am, it suddenly hit me - I fell into my classic trap yesterday of complicating my task. I have a good starting point tomorrow. Err today. Sleeep…
000
Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
Welp, so much for that idea. One of the biggest challenges I have is I go >Squirrel!< at the worst possible moment. Sigh. Sigh. More tomorrow. Nn

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
Good morning! I hope your sleep was restful and your ideas brilliant for today! I myself had a thoroughly miserable evening/early morning so I decided that I'm old enough and venerable enough and ornery enough that

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
Massive setback during the day but hey, these things happen. Tomorrow (today?) time to rebound once more. Nn all!

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
Moose declares its 1:40am. Carry on.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
Welp, what another insane day (but insane in a good way. Got lots of the sales page done. Alas my arm tried breaking itself off and running away; not fun at all. Tomorrow, another adventure awaits! Nn

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
My brain has finally relented to my body and get this (gasp!) - I might finally be tired enough to sleep. Extremely content with how I chose to react to the disaster this weekend. Nn

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
Gooood Morning! How's that rising and shining coming along for you? Me, well, as I have yet to sleep, the answer there is "The Jury is Out!" However, I did rebound quite a bit yesterday; the key, however, is to ensure that reignition continues! How did you every stoke your fire?

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
Welp, sketched out me ideas, began creation and methinks I’m at a good place to pause (especially as 3am looms in the distance. But! One coolio thingee I learned;

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
So it’s now around 1am and for whatever reason, I find myself unable to stop my mind. Recently got an insane urge to write about Etsy… … and I’ve learned that whenever such urges whomp on me, I should follow. Stay tuned!

#1 Today has been character-building at the very least. It's really tough to accept the fact my body is NO Longer 24 years old - while I might have a young spirit...

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
Good afternoon all, hope your weekend was great! I had the rather not superb experience of seeing that the very bestest of ChatGPT can still produce really crummy output.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
What.a.day. Visited pain management. Had pizza with the husband. Was supposed to sleep by 9pm. Still awake. I do live in the wild side. Nn!

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
#1 One of the hardest things I've discovered after seeing my shoulder go crumble crumble crumble into 4 fractures is realizing that i need to use my non-dominant hand to move my mouse while keeping the keyboard kinda sorta steady enough so I can type. SuperWoman I am... not, alas.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Good morning! I would SO love to state that I had a magnificently restful evening.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
So there I was, slowly restarting a process I used to do centuries ago, when I realized one thing I should repeat. Never let anyone succeed in lessening your personal greatness. Shine on! And Nn.

I will admire that fracturing your right humerus into 4 pieces really does tend to smoosh the following weeks.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
And how has your weekend been treating you, more or less?

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
#1 So. Day #2x , as x tends towards infinity regarding me crafting not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4, count 'em 4! fractures in me humerus is now just about over and let me tell you, I do NOT recommend this as a marvelous way of passing the time. But imagine the following.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 14/07/2026
Good morning! 'Tis a bright new day and time to make miracles happen. Pulling together all my build files to automate product creation (although I admittedly AM bouncing between ideas). Still though, fractured arm and all, I reaaaally want to return to work! Have a great day, all.
000
Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 13/07/2026
I will admit that my social presence here on X is mainly me sharing Good Mornings and Good Nights. My fractured arm is doing way better but yep indeed, a journey it has been! Must write about all I learned. But for now, a few hours sleep seems mighty grand indeed. Nn

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
Day 13 of fracturing my upper humerus in 3 clean fractures. Welp, if you're going to do something, do it big! Sigh. At least I can now type and continue the weird skills of using one's left hand and right hand at the same time. Onwards! How have you dealt with such things?

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
I don't remember if I had shared the Women's Wheelchair Roller Derby on my wall. Well, while waiting for my doc and chatting with other women in wheelchairs last week (yes, the ER staff insisted I don't move from the wheelchair), I came up with the concept of :

Good afternoon! Its wonderful how the hours fly by when you're coding and digging deeeeeeep into just whhy (WHY!!) does Claude Sonnet sometimes "forgets" some explicitly spelled-out instructions and then says:

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 06/07/2026
It never fails, y'know. You plan to begin last Monday with a clear-cut path for the entire week, so you make sure to stumble in the dark at 4am, enjoy having your shoulder make HARD contact with sharp metal object, question your life choices and try to sleep again...
100
Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
Morn all! And welp, that was a lovely non-existent nights' sleep but I suppose one could say that's livin' life on the wild side! And it's Monday; so, goals? Me, I kicked off 2 builds prior to pretending sleep was possible so... I'll be starting the day there.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
My day so far as I wrangle with various and sundry flavors of AI. It's maddening to see how 1 md file can create different outputs. Fascinating too, mind you, but definitely... ... maddening. Argh! Carry on.

Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
Good morning! I hope your sleep was better than mine. And honestly, that about covers it. Sigh. What a (lack of sleep) night. Was yours any better?
100
Barbara Ling @barbaraling.bsky.social · 28/06/2026
Alrighty, the fact my forehead keeps clunking on my keyboard probably indicates that Sleep can truly be a Good Thing. Such a good thing. We're talking that as far as things that are good go, Sleep is right up there! Nn all.

The meece now state that it's 11:37pm and are *still* wondering what on earth has possessed me to be this inspired since I zeroed in on changing several aspects of my AI tasks. Seriously, I'm wondering that too....

Heh. 'Tis funny indeed that more than 1.5 years *after* the product was launched... the owner of the JV group finally posted it today. But yep, I'll admit... great memories indeed from that time.
