No cheating. Post the last photo of the sky from your camera roll.

A colobus monkey clambering along the top of rope in the treetops. He has a black body, with a fringe of white fur that rings his back, and a majestic in tuft of white fur at the end of his tail. He looks like he’s maybe heading off to get lunch.

A pastiche of the cover art style from “Now” compilation albums, but it says “NOW WHAT I’M WITH ISN’T IT ANYMORE”, a quote from the character Abe Simpson in “The Simpsons”

A wee poem I wrote for an immersive theatre thing tonight, which I didn’t end up needing.

A poem written in a heavy metal font on crumpled paper:

Entrails are red
Morals are grey
When the Blood God arrives
We will all become prey

Our cake toppers were a space marine and Sylvanian families rabbit

The top tier of a wedding cake. The cake toppers are a Warhammer 40,000 space marine in black armour with rose-pink cloth, carrying a power sword and a shield, and Sylvanian Families rabbit in a pink wedding dress and a veil made from gauze.

Just commited the worst bit of filth in some code codepen.io/n3dst4/pen/b... #css #filth

Two triangular shapes containing text. The left one, the triangle points downwards and the text wraps neatly inside it, tapering as it gets further down to fit in the shape. The right one, the triangle poinmts upwards, and text also fits neatly inside, but it starts and the bottom (the widest part). This is a notoriously hard problem for layout engines to solve. The actual text in the shapes is not super relevant, but here it is:

Left: "This is some text wrapped around two floated triangles. It naturally renders at the top, which is the how stuff renders in HTML. It gets narrower as we go down, but the wrapping algorithm works to keep it constrained to this triangular shape all the way to the end."

Right: "This is the same, but the triangular shape is pointing the other way. The question is, how did I get this text to render at the bottom of this triangle, i.e. starting at the widest point and going up?"

That childlike joy when a package turns up with Rowan, Rook & Decard tape on it. @mytholder.bsky.social @gshowitt.bsky.social

Two hardback books, “Heart: The City Beneath” and “Dagger in the Heart”, both published by Rowan, Rook & Decard

Please imagine I’d photoshopped this to say Blert

A screencap from The Simpsons. A hand points to a novelty licence plate that says “BORT”.

This is great news, I’m really looking forward to trying this out. Just one teensy thing – a typo on rolldown.rs/guide/in-dep... (first/fist):

Just reading the Custom 3D model guide for Dice So Nice for FoundryVTT and remembering that in a previous life I knew Blender. Hmm. Hmmmmmmm. #foundryvtt

This looks amazing. I fell in love with using SVG filters in CSS a few weeks ago when I twigged that using a blur filter rather than text-shadow creates a glow effect that _follows the color of the text_!

Classic UX lesson here - skimming this box to find the "Profile" link and missed it for several seconds because it's coloured like plain text, while other links around it are inexplicably blue. I'm not putting the boot in, I'm sure I've done worse things, but it was an object lesson in UX. #ux
