Sitting outside on a rare sunny day at a lovely pub in Bray, refactoring Kitten* to pull out the settings page sections into their own pages (and use Kitten’s new Streaming HTML workflow**) and enjoying a yummy pint of Tundra IPA.

No complaints :)

@aral I was in Bray the last time I was in Ireland! Spent a couple days in Dublin, then a day in Dalkey, then in Bray. Have a Wicklow Wolf for me?

Very smoky out this morning, the sun a deep orange. When Wally was a puppy three years ago, it was like this, though worse. Hotter, and the grass dry and stiff. I wrote about that smoky summer and @robmclennan published it at Dusie. It's one of the poems in my (still technically circulating?) MS.

Updating some SotW code I haven't really touched since 2012 (to hook in adding music and switching back after the user clears the --more-- message) and I'm pleased with my much-younger self, I think I only have to update a couple different functions, despite there being dozens of branches that lead there. Hard to explain. But the code's not terrible, thanks younger me!

Going to to out with the dogs in a bit to see if I can see anything, but my best view of the northern lights was back in university, I had pints with friends at our favourite pub, staggered off to 7-11 to drunk-buy candy, then watched the northern lights while sprawled out at a nearby soccer field.

Nothing, sadly. But all the streetlights being on probably doesn't help.

Northern lights are supposed to be blazing tonight. Will try to take pictures. 🤞

A lot of getting older has been learning just how many people want to be the boot.

Applied to a new tilde. 🤞

My old one experienced a catastrophic crash. So I was there for...a year and a half? Feels like about the amount of time I used to spend in most places, back in the day. Tildes really do have that old internet feel, and not just because of the command line.

Village music now it seems. Wrote a piece for Gnordvar that ended up morphing into something else and might get used for Atua-Elar, and did a first draft of the Isen Dun music while watching Jays-Phillies tonight.

Just aggressively going at this while I've got the time and energy. Have to shift soon to some other work (+doc, writing, viola & guitar), so if I can bang out a piece a week, well, let's go

Was talking with C how I didn't want to start a task at the end of the day that could go wrong and I'd end up thinking about during the evening, and I can't remember what I said but she misheard it as "swinging a muppet", so that's what I'm calling it now.

Cancelled my subscription. Close to the end of the course, which not being one of the big, well-maintained ones (Irish), was very underwhelming. Slán, ulchabhán glas.

@number6 I hear French, Spanish, etc, have all kinds of extra features.

Finished a piece for SotW that veered away from what I intended it for. So it doesn't work in that context. But it's an absolute banger so I'm trying to figure out where it might fit.

123guestbook is shutting down in a few months - wondering what to switch to. Any of you still maintain a presence on the /? What do you use for a ?

@juliancday@writing.exchange avatar

Yeah, don't think I can speedrun 10 units by EOM, but once I'm done the course, I'm done with #Duo and cancelling my subscription. Zero reason why this answer shouldn't be accepted. #Gaeilge

@juliancday@writing.exchange avatar

Earlier in the course it used to accept stuff like this, which leads me to suspect that when they expanded the course, they did it as quickly and carelessly as possible to try to hook people longer.

@Chia Very well could be.

@turgon This is good (well, bad, but) to hear. I'll finish up and move on.

@turgon Gonna take a look at Glossika. A lot of the apps don't include Irish, which, I get, a lot of the demand is French/Spanish/Chinese/Japanese/etc

@juliancday@writing.exchange avatar

@turgon Excellent, I need it to shame me on the regular, continuity is important.

juliancday,
@juliancday@writing.exchange avatar

@turgon You post this on day 365, a day that seems worth celebrating, but passed like a sparrow before my eyes. When I delete Duo I will leave it behind like a snake sloughing its skin.

@turgon When one does not have an account, the streak does not exist 😌
