had a dream where for some reason, i was signing up for a Claude subscription, and now i feel dirty

(i’ve never even used it!!! is my subconscious negging me)

every time i see old photos of me with long hair it’s like a jumpscare now

one day i’m going to visit New York City and it’ll be a strange experience because i’ll spend the entire time mentally comparing it to the scenes shown in How To with John Wilson

Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently

(I need to broaden my horizons beyond signs, dogs and birds)

i continue to be extremely good at losing things. i’ve managed to lose two different rings for my septum piercing. this is an object that’s literally made to be attached to my body and i’ve still lost it

i couldn’t pick a caption for this photo so you get several options:
• community boar? i hardly knew ‘er!
• i hate it when my D falls off
• community boar? oh yeah, i’m pretty sure they’re one of my mutuals on here

after over a decade of running a cgit instance on my server (to provide public views of a few repos that I didn’t want to put on GitHub), I’ve finally had to turn it off because of scrapers DDoSing my server through it

I hope the slop was worth it, you fuckers

for some reason Braehead shopping centre is now branded “Frasers Plus Braehead”????

(if you don’t know, Frasers Plus is the buy-now-pay-later scheme belonging to the company that owns a bunch of half-dead retail chains like Sports Direct and GAME)

can’t explain why but this logo makes me feel like it’s 2003 and i’ve just bought an off-brand PS/2 ball mouse

“manager’s special”?? i sure hope they are!!

finally messing about a bit with Halide (alternative iOS camera app) after having had it installed for ages

I’m not sure how I feel about the “film simulation” tbh

sometimes I wonder if I’m being too obstinate in my refusal to use genAI; people I respect seem to like using it for programming, after all

but I keep on seeing Codex write objectively awful code which people with normally high engineering standards somehow think is OK

and I become more of a hater

weird marketing gimmicks at this new fast food place in St Enoch

I haven’t been to the office since December

So today I got on a Teams call with a coworker that I don’t talk to super often and his first reaction was “Oh, I wouldn’t have recognised you with the new look”

here in the UK, we don’t say “playing the latest chapter of Toby Fox’s episodic RPG”, we say “hitting the delty r”, and i think that’s beautiful

today I made the mistake of collecting takeaway while cycling. I forgot they would put the cheese naan into a pizza box and it ended up being an extremely awkward journey home as I held onto the box in one hand

(but it all survived!)

Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently

earlier this week I saw someone walking three shoobs and one of them was wearing a blue blanket. I couldn’t get a photo so instead I’ve used ✨ state-of-the-art technology ✨ to generate a very accurate recreation of this scene

New blog post on my website: How @Siph and I worked to make an unmodified, physical copy of Korean Pokémon Gold & Silver print a Pokédex entry with the Game Boy Printer!

i’m at TGJones Temporary Sign if anyone needs a £5 bottle of water, an off-brand scientific calculator, a lottery ticket, a colouring book and a deep sense of despair
