Let the ridiculous seasonal nerdery begin! Using Advent of Code to teach myself Rust (in neovim … on an iPad… using ShellFish by @palmin 😅). I’m a long way from idiomatic usage, all my code still looks like Swift.
Bonus: got to write a function named ‘get_most_calorific_elf’!
Living that rockstar life
Stable-Diffusion-generated weird fiction writing prompt: sinister, high mountain forests.
Using Stable Diffusion to generate weird-fiction writing prompts can produce some incredibly scenic ruins…
Can rain get inside and move around in the walls?
Looks like daylight is just too opaque to make it through the windows today, only functional outdoors. I think the mice under the floor are using the rain to disguise a fairly major re-org.
Just had the, until now, uniquely birdsite experience of having to infer a fairly major real world event through vague but escalating contextless posts about it. Twitter Migration fully complete.
Another introduction for the Twitter Migration firehose:
I’m a software developer working on iOS Swift in Big Corporate IT (TM) by day, dabbling in Rust by night, hoping to (one day!) complete my hobby app.
I’m currently way behind my NaNoWriMo target but still moving forward. I’m delighted to see that is a non-empty ‘WeirdFiction’ hashtag on Mastodon and that the incredible @mjohnharrison is a tooter*!
*Apologies if that turns out to be an incredibly offensive term.
Having said that… already being at 10% of my total goal for the month seems crazy!
Five days into NaNoWriMo and I’m probably two full days behind where I should be but three full days ahead of where I normally am…
I had no idea feed reading was starting to properly evolve again. Feedbin now supports Twitter as a source alongside email, rss/Atom/json and directly enables link/quote-style microblogging!
2017, the year of the handwritten, artisanal tweet.
So @ulyssesapp@social.ulysses.app goes subscription–after reading their reasoning, I think it’s a great idea. Easily the best writing tool I’ve ever used.
😛👍 @ulyssesapp as Twitter client! @workflowhq adds @jekyllrb yaml, posts to @workingcopyapp, rss read by @microdotblog, ‘Goal’ set < 140.
Hmm, is this new with the iOS 11 beta? Apple have added Dropbox-like collaboration for non-iWork arbitrary files stored in iCloud Drive?
The single most terrifying thing I can recall from my childhood: The Owl Service.
The new .textpack support in @toketaware’s iThoughts imports well into @ulyssesapp.
