the weird thing about millennials is dentists don't do metal fillings anymore so you'll never know what it's like to have a 15,000 year old alien satellite beam radio signals into your teeth

oh gods… they made trying to muck about with the CSS ostensibly impossible. Every source file has its own unique ID attached to it, and all node-process-tastic. This is less fun.

@aaronpk they called three times after I refused the calls. I figured it must be urgent.

My bank just called me to ask about fraudulent charges I didn't make in Ohio, and in the process asked me half a dozen verification questions and near the end I realized I never even had a way to verify I was really talking to my own bank.

If you knew who I banked with, you could pull off this same call and get my mother's maiden name, PIN, and all sorts of identifying info on me.

I'm gonna visit my bank to make sure it was real.

Got a peculiar complaint about some code I wrote this morning. It does alot of complex things too quickly, and the user feels like the work is not really being done. Can we add a ten second pause behind the scenes?

@aaronpk is it possible to get a kind of RSS (for the non-full-on-indieweb-folk) for your articles? https://aaronparecki.com/articles ?

One of the most important things I do at the end of every day is close all my tabs, tmux windows, and SSH sessions. I need every morning to be a clean slate.

Every time I visit Aaron Parecki’s website, I come back with some inspiration - understand why & how he is implementing the things the way he is. There are many design decisions he’s handled perfectly.

But every time I visit his “Articles” page, I am bewildered with one decision he has made there. He loads a list of posts, fine. But then follows it with complete contents of 20 recent articles. Given that his articles are heavy on images, that’s more than 25 MB of response. Not ideal, I think.

Went to the Apple store to check out iPads and see it I want one. I think they are too big for me. If I’m going to carry one around, I might as well take my laptop instead because it’s not that much more bulk or weight. I’ll get an iPad mini if they update it.
