Which side project should I prioritize?

@nelson Right now I’m manually inserting things into duckdb, so uh there’s progress to be made.

@nelson What I have in mind here is something that’s more like a traditional blog in terms of amount of commentary, but that (almost) always has a main external link. But these things usually change in the first few months.

@nelson Interesting! I’m willing to try this. I basically don’t use RSS at all, so I’m IFR here.

Now with RSS (but no QA on the RSS), archive pages (but no main archive page), permalinks (in a way that will break when I delete a post), etc.

@jonty I’m choosing to interpret the arrows as being in the YouTube thumbnail visual language. I DIDN’T EXPECT THIS about RAIN!

@Rycaut It might be interesting rabbit material. They probably do it because a lot of people enjoyed their rabbit stories. But if nothing else, thinking you’re only appreciated as The Rabbit Person is pretty sad.

@Rycaut Yes. As if you went to the café or the pub and there were someone who considered themselves your friend but only ever talked about rabbits.

@jenlowe Apologies if I’m misremembering, but were you looking at ham radio recently? If so, I would appreciate any tips on good resources that don’t have That Kind of Politics.

You know when someone says something like “My therapist let me know a really interesting trick:” and then they say something that’s an obvious solution to a problem you cannot imagine having? You’ve seen a little too deeply into their worldview? This is how a lot of year-end lists come across.

Now I understand why delivery services have a hard time finding things. Or why people often get lost when using #GoogleMaps on foot.

Whenever I catch a glimpse of GoogleMaps, I take a closer look and go "THAT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE".

If you haven't tried anything but Google Maps, go ahead and check out Organic Maps, OsmAnd. Anything amiss, you are not powerless - the map can be updated by anybody.

#OpenStreetMap

Friends fear he’s e-mailing geophysics grad students about their YouTube videos again.

@llimllib Right now it’s a single hand-coded page with literally no backend, so I’ll take that under advisement.

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser gate, Safeway twenty minutes before closing on Christmas Eve, etc.
