I pushed the button to make coffee, but I forgot to bring the cup.

Good thing the grinding phase gives me some time for correcting my life mistakes.

Jobs are funny.

Two years ago: we need you to help shape more "Jason's", use your leadership, etc.

Last Year: we don't want you focused on leading a team, need you focused on getting stuff done.

Now: We need you leading a team....

@heyfluxay you failed to get the memo.

You were supposed to clone yourself.

@cjerrington people usually work 9-5, 2 hours to get back home and put party clothes on... 7pm good?

I'm digging through a repo of images from my ancient blog from 2000s and holy damn, so many weird artifacts.

This is a screenshot of Firefox 3.0 on Windows XP shortly after the upgrade.

This is a screenshot of Internet Explorer 4.0 on Windows 98. Active Desktop can be seen as well.

Definitely not mine though. I must have found it somewhere on the web back in the day.

This is a funny bug I once triggered in Google Reader.

This what my Last.fm profile looked like somewhere around 2009?

This is a screenshot of an instant messenger that was massively popular in my country back in the day, based on numerical identifiers like ICQ.

Also, the highlighted contact is Blip, which was our local version of Twitter (waaaay better than Twitter ever was).

Also, I no longer have an idea how I managed to take a screenshot on a dumb Sony Ericsson phone.

Aw. I just got called a "young fellow" on the fedi.

I'm 48. 😂

I guess there are worse things. 😅

@zalasur Better in this direction than "People don't live this long" (read that once and I'm WAAAAAY younger).

Looking to add a /stats page to my blog and website? If you have one, what do you put on yours? So far I have total posts and a nice graph

lukem,
@lukem@hachyderm.io avatar

@cjerrington I don't see a point in adding one myself as I'm too volatile to chasing numbers, but let me think what I'd add...

total word count, minutes needed to read all posts, longest article, shortest article, most active month, any variation of the above split into time chunks (e.g. last 6 months?)

And I'm not sure if you run analytics but I've seen a few blogs making their traffic stats public.

Some time ago, while discussing something of little relevance, I pointed out it takes more effort to debunk false statements than to express them.

Today I learnt this unfortunate phenomenon has a smart-sounding name.

I wish I could build an aggregator for photoblogs so that I can view pretty photos of people I like.

The pool of text-based blogs is somewhat small, but there's still plenty to choose from. And if people don't self-host, they tend to use semi-competent platforms that make things easy.

But when it comes to photography, people are scattered across various instagrams, flickrs and stuff and that complicates things A LOT, both in technical and cultural aspect.

lukem, to random
@lukem@hachyderm.io avatar

I made a point to always include some sort of descriptions alongside my photos on social media (except some sufficiently self-explanatory categories, such as random snapshots or street photography) and now I think I need a photography blog.

God dammit.

lukem,
@lukem@hachyderm.io avatar

@noodlejetski would read or would start a blog if you were me? The difference kinda matters to me 😅

Damn Flickr, you're killing it with generosity.

lukem,
@lukem@hachyderm.io avatar

And they completely distracted me from the whole point: I pulled the trigger and started paying for it as another spot in my matrix of photography backups.

I'm actually glad this site still exists in more-or-less unchanged form since the last time I used it back in early 2010s. The period of it being owned by Yahoo feels like a bad dream I woke up from.

I just hope they don't engage in some "AI" bullshittery at some point. Pretty please, with a cherry on top.

So I processed photos of that breakdance group I saw in Cracow and the side effect is that I started watching breakdance battles and windmill tutorials on YT.

And when I thought I've seen everything...

I found a six-year-old girl killing it on the floor.
