My grandmother passed away today. I feel so privileged to have known her, and for my children – her great-grandchildren! – to have known her too. 98 is a fantastic age, and I’ll always remember her love and kindness ❤️
Today was a lovely spring day, the sun was warm. I decided to open the doors to the garden and read a book. It was cold and windy and next doors cat came in and refused to leave, beat up my dog and destroyed some things. So not fully successful.
I have never been less interested in talk about Apple than I have been in the last few months. Between DMA/DoJ and Vision Pro, my tech podcast queue has become a bit of a snooze fest.
On the bright side, I'm catching up on more non-tech shows I love.
Does anyone know of any good resources or tutorials that cover modern web development from the perspective of someone who just needs a refresher / whats new in the last 5 years?
As a person who did not watch it, asking honestly, was “Game of Thrones” a good show, or a shared experience? No one seems to talk about it now, or want to rewatch it. Is it fair to put it in the “Lost” bin and not bother or should I consider it?
@agiletortoise I noped out when the kid was pushed out the window, so I’m not a good judge, but GRR Martin will never finish the books. If you want a “completed” version of Game of Thrones the TV show is your only option.
My portal fantasy MOON'S KNIGHT (which drove at least one Amazon reviewer to distraction because the protagonist, during the funeral of her best friend, has harsh words for God) is on sale for $3.99USD in ebook today! https://books2read.com/moonsknight
@jamesthomson Oof. That’s a bummer, but as you said the corrective surgery is straight forward. Both of my folks had it done over the years and were up and going in no time.
@jamesthomson When creating new Disney Villains the “creatives” use current Disney Executives are role models but water them down, because “there’s no way anyone would believe they’re as bad as all that.”
@RobW I'm trying to write UI tests for a Web view in our app. We control the HTML and the wrinkle is it gets localised for 12 different languages and is controlled by marketing. So looking for the content scares me to death.
