Trust my lizard brain to find the loophole
I love this project: a riverbed in Amsterdam was drained and the ~700,000 found objects dating from the 1300s to present were photographed and presented online:
Aliexpress will be charging GST from tomorrow so I've decided to allow myself to order the cute stationery I've had sitting in my wishlist for months/years
Played a bunch of Google Assistant games with @AnnaGerber this evening and they were all preeeetty average.
Stayed up too late watching drama last night, so getting myself to the gym was a Herculean effort this morning, but I did, so now I don't have a good excuse to skip the scary women who code social event this evening
Me trying to learn a new JS framework tonight:
* 3 minutes of reading docs,
* 2 minutes of coding,
* 2 minutes of reading docs for another framework,
* 3 minutes of setting up a new hello world project using the other framework,
* 5 minutes of indecision / debating what to do / existential crisis
* 45 minutes of giggling at silly things online
I really don't understand how anyone could like marshmallows.
I guess it must be one of those cultural things you have to become accustomed to at a young age - like vegemite.
I found "vitamints" on the clearance shelf at the supermarket a couple of weeks ago. I bought them for the pun, but they are surprisingly good.
I added them to the basket I keep on my bed so I've even been remembering to take them most days.
Signs I may be getting old: signing off with my name at the bottom of instant messages 🤦♀️
After a tiresome day it was delightful to catch up with a dear and wise childhood friend
Played 'namo guan shi yin pusa' mantra on a loop for half an hour, (also force cleared npm cache) problem now mysteriously gone 🙏
Demo today so of course I'm having one of those days where everything is broken, things that worked fine yesterday now fail inexplicably, and yes I've tried turning it off and back on again as well as praying to several deities. I have run out of ideas for how to make things work again 😨😰😱
Found a place that does Tteokbokki for lunch - so good #LifeGoals
Tried self-administering acupuncture for a sports injury the first time this evening. Hoorah for more life skills!
Farmers market day is one of my favourite days of the week - walked through on my way to the gym and picked up vine ripened baby tomatoes, perfectly ripe avocados, salad greens and fresh smoked salmon, and dinner was ready in minutes. Honey roasted lemon myrtle macadamias for dessert :)
Another artefact from my garage last night - handpainted computer case from my youth
Gah, my colleagues pointed out at lunch today that I made my perennial mistake of wearing maroon on a football day
I should stop trying to toot from my phone by swiping on the gboard keyboard which "autocorrects" to make it look like I can't spell
When venturing into the garage becomes an archeological expidition it's time to shed some stuff. Very happy to have found a good home for 6 amigas and many boxes of software and peripherals. However while I was retreiving them from the garage, I was surprised to uncover a Commodore 64.
I'm pretty excited about designing button badges for CampJS!
(Prototype from an old sticker to check I put the machine together correctly)
