Here to keep up with friends, post cat pics, and share fanworks. And apparently lament the decline of web tech, but I usually try to balance that out with more cat pics. he/they

I made multiplayer Windows 98 Solitaire. It's called Solitaire Alone Together. You can play together, with the whole internet, but you can't chat or talk. solitairealonetogether.com

Kid likes it when I sing to him. I'm realising a lot of my post-1975 faves are useless for singing a capella: single-note melodies that rely on lots of guitar accompainment. Had some luck with Doors and Procol Harum; sorry to be singing to you abt drugs and debauchery, son. I should try Queen!

Spiting BeReal by sharing my cat pic on a different social media site
Rumble the cat (Burmese markings with white spots, a round face, and stocky build) snoozing on a couch with his chin resting on his front paw and his tail curled up around him. He's the picture perfect example of "cute cat sleeping". In the background, there's some floor-length windows looking out over some lush green garden shrubs.

I've been using BeReal. It's a nice idea, esp for people (like me) whose friends live far away. The app, however, is buggy in ways that make me fundamentally angry. Here's why: Everyone uploading pics at the same time means BeReal, by design, has load peaks: once a day, their usually mostly >

I made a playlist for the baby, gonna raise that kid right! 😆 (He genuinely seems to enjoy this kind of music, as much as a two-week-old can show enjoyment. His eyes get very big!)
Screenshot of a playlist that includes Ghost Riders by Johnny Cash, Mackie Messer, Barrett's Privateers and Northwest Passage, some Flogging Molly and Mark Knopfler, Rawhide by the Blues Brothers, Rocky Road to Dublin, and a song by DLÙ that has a Gaelic title.

Big life update, our kid was born 10 days ago! It was a c-section due to some monitoring anomalies, but outside of that, he's been getting good grades in being a baby from midwife and other professionals. So far, he's mostly a little shark: eating a lot, constantly moving, exceptionally smooth 🦈🦈

Success!
A large brown tabby tomcat, Louis, on a platform mounted underneath the ceiling above a standing lamp, leaving just enough space for him to sit upright. The platform is painted white. To the right edge of the picture, there's a small stepping shelf, mounted lower and also white, that allows access to the platform if you're a cat. Louis is cleaning his left front paw. His tail is draped over the edge of the platform.Same white platform, same cat. He's now lying down with his back to the wall, seemingly enjoying his higher ground safe space.

Found a website where factories/shops/bankrupt companies auction off stuff to be rid of it. It's endlessly fascinating! Wanna buy a machine you didn't know existed for pennies? The nice wooden cupboard from the boss' office? Sixteen ebikes? Maybe "room contents" (= the broom cupboard)? Best >

Sunny spot at 33%!
Rumble the cat sitting in a wedge of sun in an otherwise shady garden. The sun spills over about a third of a stepping board in front of Rumble. He seems to be waiting for the sun to cover it entirely so he can lie on it in the sun.

"Paint some furniture!" they said. "It'll be fun!" they said 😩 I'm lying, I do enjoy it, except putting on primer. It's sticky and takes hours to dry. Get it on your fingers and it won't come off without intense scrubbing, but neither will it dry, so you get it on everything. It's a mess 😭

Just watched Jaws for the first time. It's nice that in 1975, they were already making movies about old leather gays and yuppie gays teaming up to help sheltered middle-aged dads experience their bisexual awakening 🦈

I avoided a "pls pay more" email so YT music got cancelled & I'm looking for a new android streaming app. I would love one that lets me easily manage my local music while also using streaming on occasion. Also a radio function would be nice? And not evil would be good. Wdym that doesn't exist? 😅

I barely ever play video games so this may not be true but I *think* the last game I played was Pathologic, a plague game with near-realistic deterioration of stats depending on food and sleep. I never managed to keep my guy alive for more than 30 minutes so I suspect I wouldn't do well 😂

Due date is 10 days out. I'm working right up to it. It seems highly silly to expect me to focus on work when there's a fairly life-changing thing that could happen any moment. Let's just say my productivity has been better. (Who cares, right, except I do need to sort my stuff out for handover 😬)

Most digital infrastructure has been at least partially relying on security through obscurity. This is starting to fail: the one thing AI undeniably does better than any other tool is finding software vulnerabilities. So if you've been somewhat lax abt backing up/ securing your data, now is the time

I finally opened the old Singer treadle sewing machine I got from my mom, who got it from her mom. My mom was still using it in the late 80s! Eventually it broke & went into the basement. I opened it expecting to find a machine in shambles but seems like it just needs a new leather cord on the wheel

In the morning, our garden first gets direct sun in the southeast, right by the door with the cat flap and a piece of wood used as a stepping board. So every morning, as soon as the sun spot appears, Rumble sits in it and patiently waits for it to cover the board so he can flop down & fry his brains
Rumble the cat (white/grey with Burmese tip markings) sitting in the corner of a garden next to a weathered stepping board. He's catching a small patch of morning sun. The sun spot is already covering much of the board. Soon it'll be enough to stretch out and snooze.

Had my 3 months at new job feedback talk today. All good! Can't quite get over the fact, tho, that as we were talking abt departmental process development, my boss said "you've got this experience, I dont" to me, implying he's hoping for me to take more of a lead on what's essentially his job.

New phone is my first phone without a 3.5 headphone jack and I just. I'm so mad about it. I can't charge it while my headphones are plugged in. I can't use any of my old headphones. All so Apple could sell a few more add-on devices. I will never be over it.

I just cut glass! Or well, a mirror, and you don't rly cut it. You cut a little groove with a wheely tool and then clamp down on the groove with special tongs to break it along the line. Reason I did this is that the new bathroom has slanted walls and the mirror needed to lose a corner. Success!

Bathroom works are ongoing. The past few days it's been a guy tiling the walls and floor. He shows up, turns on the radio, and enters some sort of deep zen mode vibing with the music & neatly lining up tiles for hours. Don't think he got the capitalist memo that work shouldn't be relaxing 😆

They've continued to show up horrendously early but they've been very fast & competent and so we're halfway to having an additional bathroom 🎉 all the putting-pipes-and-wires-in-walls bits are done and they've installed the bathtub, so what's left are the bits less likely to go wrong

Having thoughts on people using AI to generate art or writing. The word I hear a lot is lazy. I don't like that word in general & I'm not sure it rly describes what's happening. 'Insecure' and 'uninformed' work better for me: Uninformed: there's been a trend to mythologize and hide the creative >
