Playing around with the space a bit.

A background of blues and purple in a blob gradient, with text that says Talongrip and describes in white text what it is for. There are a few links in the navigation bar for About, Directory, and Studio. The text focuses on what the service has to offer, and sits below the Talongrip header that is a gradient of blue, purple, and magenta.

Every single time I reach a checkpoint something else just pops into my mind...

Emperor Palpatine using the power of the dark side to corrupt another developer's mind into adding more than they probably should have in terms of features to their project.

The image is a classic top text/bottom text meme with Emperor Palpatine from starwars wearing robes and a hood while smiling. The shot is portrait style. The top text says "Good, Good". The bottom text says "Keep adding more features".

Never really do these types of posts, but here is mine! I miss living in some of these places...

Image of the US map that shows a key of Never been (24), Passed through (10), Visited (9), Stayed a while (2) and Lived there (6). There are colors corresponding to each one of blue, teal, yellow, aquamarine, and navy blue. Titled: "United States: where I've been"

I have used the font awesome icon library for a few years now here and there, for different things. Sometimes I wonder why an icon was made... Like who needed this? Why?

Font awesome icons depicting a child standing next to a rifle with the words child-combatant under the icon. There are three rows of icons depicting the child-combatant.

Sitting here doing nothing but reading. "Why am I sweating all of a sudden? Oh yeah..."

Lots of sun and high temperatures for the next 10 days, all within the 100s.

So it has come to this.

"So you want to see a man go crazy?! Fine!"

a very long package.json file for a project with lots of scripts, dependencies and devDependencies

I guess I can't really be mad at myself for adding rate limiting, then hitting the limit while testing...

Shows a dashboard login screen, with a gradient background red and maroon in color. The username zephyr is typed into a username box while the password box remains blank, below the password box appears an error message that says 'Rate limit exceeded'. Below that is a Sign in button with a gradient of orange and pink colors, and a gray 'Forgot password?' link below it

Staring at Cloudflare is a mood. In the middle of a migration and configuring CDNs... Then I went back to working on a security report for a class and my head all but exploded. Hang in there! You're doing great. I mean it!

This is a picture of pain and suffering, showing the DNS record page for talongrip.dev - the content itself is heavily redacted with black boxes, and one points out the small amount of DNS records after cleanup, without adding in the new ones yet or the ones that had to be replaced.

Just another Friday on Bsky.

'Bro just try my stack, bro!' ... dumbguy@idiot webapps % bun create-ronins-react@latest silly --clean It actually does look nice on paper. It just seems like a lot in one box.

I can't say I'm a big fan of GitHub or Microslop in general, but I am happy that I have a template going now for workflows for my site building.

A screenshot from the GitHub actions panel showing 'All workflows'. This includes a button in green with white text to add a new workflow, as well as 3 workflows present named: CI, Dependabot Updates, and Deploy.

Zephyr @talongrip.dev · 14/06/2026

Hooray! It isn't my fault! That means though it was probably affecting all of my work, and the stuff I have done for friends...

Finished the first versions of a batch of sites I have been working on. There are a few left, but I wanted to show these off. They belong to @falopaxy.bsky.social and @shteinnn.bsky.social! Looking forward to doing more! :3 You can check them out at: falopaxy.talongrip.dev and shtein.talongrip.dev

A background of different shades of red colors mixed with a cream color in the center. The name of the Artist @Falopaxy is set as the header, Digital Artist and Creator subtext below. There are also two icons of Bsky and X social media platforms below that. Each item has a shadow backdrop making them pop out a bit more against the background.

A gradient background of different shades of purple and magenta. There are a few translucent paw prints on the background in a grayish color. The foreground includes a portrait of a part wolf part dragon fursona with purple white and gray fur, against a backdrop of amber and gold. Below that is the name Shtein followed by the subtext 'furry at your service~'. Belows those are icons of off white in the same color as the subtext and name. They are social media buttons for Fur Affinity, Telegram, X, and Bsky.

Preliminary optimization pass for @zangerdanger.bsky.social's site! It should perform a lot better now, viewport settings have also been improved for multiple devices. More to come! #furry #webdev #webhost #development

Picture with a title of Diagnose Performance issues at the top. There are 4 green circles, three of them are complete, with 100 in the center of them, with the words Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO below them. Another almost complete circle with a 90 in the center with the title of Performance below. There is also a screenshot of the landing page in a mobile view.

Doing some web dev for @zangerdanger.bsky.social! I haven't shown any of this off yet, as it's WIP and uses placeholders. Optimized for multiple devices. If interested, I'm still making sites for artist, pro-bono, while I work on my portfolio. Send me a DM! #furry #furryart #webdev

Haha Awesome. Stay trashy, Bsky.

Whiney baby (@why.bsky.team) blocks another user because they made fun of him for using a slop generator that makes a terrible product.

Waking up and checking to see if the new distribution and storage I added to my stack last night backfired. At least I know I didn't leave an EC2 running...

Ichiban from Yakuza: Like a Dragon smoking a cigarette while staring at a smartphone. They are portraying Russ Cole from True Detective who is inhaling a cigarette with pure tension on his face. Internet meme.

Holy heck what a nostalgia blast you just gave me. Time to fight back.

A silver with black accents Deluxe Talkboy. Has multiple buttons on top for playing and recording to cassette. Also has a speaker and extendable microphone, and featured a handle on the back side.

I guess today had some important moments in history. Glad we can add the defeat of Viktor Orbán to that list.

A picture showing various years of what happened in history on this day April 12th. Includes 1961 Yuri Gragarin as the first human in space. 1861 Civil war begins at For Sumter. 1945 FDR dies in office at age 63. 1955 Salk polio vaccine declared safe and effective. Picture from AP News website.

Hi! Here is Miles, my fursona who I finally got a sheet for. They were originally a character I made and used for testing when doing open source game development! I eventually started playing them and I really liked them. They have changed a bit since they first were created! Thanks for the chance!

On one hand progress. On the other hand a CDN that won't deliver my content because I probably did something stupid when configuring it.

Just peeked the upcoming forecast over the next 10 days... I really miss living in the PNW. Maybe I can go back one day, but for now this is what it is. The weather/temperature is not normally this high here this time of year.

Screen shot of 10-day forecast with high temperatures of 92 to 107 for that period.

Not that you are asking, and I apologize if this is too forward, but what if you have margin spacing equal on each of the end columns, so that content is pushed to the center?

Zephyr @talongrip.dev · 23/04/2025

Well that went better than I thought! Now it is on to the next thing. #coding #development

I think it is going to be one of those days...
