In no particular order. Definitely some titles missing that I didn't have space for.

A list of 9 video games that shaped who I am. Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy IX. Halo 2. Halo 3. Rust. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Donkey Kong 64. Metroid Prime.

Fun fact. There was originally just one rack. Here's one of my first comments on the new design back when we had feedback sessions. Time flies.

There's a lot of negative space here and my eyes don't know where to look. It's like the racks, the modal, and the title text are all in a standoff with one another. In fact, the title text is the last thing my eyes are drawn to. Perhaps we could move to 3 racks to eliminate some of this negative space and then swap the title text with the modal so the title text sits higher above the fold.

A small application I've been meaning to build. By build I mean tell an LLM to build.

An application named "syndicate" that publishes records to my ATProto personal data server and optionally syndicates the post to Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, or X, depending on what the user selected.

Don't do this. Be better than the mediocre white dude whose name and picture I omitted because they don't need more of a platform. This ain't cute. It's a waste of my time and why I disable messages on most platforms.

@oxide.computer is actively updating the infrastructure running my website, my Bluesky PDS, and my Git server. All of those applications remain up through the update. Let's talk about why.

If you can't tell me what you flagged you didn't flag anything. In my eyes you're just limiting usage.

Local models plus MCP is nice. Imagine burning paid tokens for tasks like this. I have to figure out how to let the model find the current date. I didn't run it with local tools, only tool calling via the harness.
