"You don't seem to understand... I'm not stuck in here with you, YOU'RE stuck in here with ME!" I say to the voices in my head

I needed a good news story today and thought you might like it, too.

Exactly 💯

My dreams last night: rated R for extreme and graphic violence, body horror, and constant threat.
There were tanks, nightmarish torture, and a montage of a downbeat Tom Hiddleston teaching me unethical hacking.
Thanks, night sweats, thanks a bunch 😵

Went troubleshooting. Found trouble. Shot it.

Can't wait to get home and take my migraine pill and lie down for two hours recovering 🫠

A screenshot of a text interface with navbar at top, then an 'alpha' warning banner, then the new infobar, then the page title 'Activity timer'. The new infobar has three horizontal panels: left is player, middle is any active XP boosts, right is for character. The page content: two cards grouped into one element (one is player's current activity, the other is the game character's), then 'recent activities' of both player and character combined in one list. The colour scheme is light green for the player, and light orange for the character.

New infobar (above page title "Activity timer"), very simple for now

Wondering about removing the page title. Then in navbar I'd change 'Game' to 'Timer'

My application for a GitHub Education account got accepted! (on second try)
They don't allow file uploads of id, only photos. I think with my first try they were like

After some late-night coding last night, I finally got Progress working using Docker (hosted on Render). Control that runtime environment, baby!

Visual hierarchy improved, 'timer running' effects added.

I never thought I'd be excited about procurement trends* and cyber security, but apparently everything looks rosy through the lens of Progress!

*UK gov is pushing for more spending on VCSE services (voluntary, community and social enterprise), and so is the NHS

Occasionally, but I worry about forgetting where I store ideas, so I usually keep ideas & natural language code design in a notes app. That way I can write stuff on the move.
I think the concept is great though: permission not to have the right answer immediately!

I really like this one!

Is a "dim sum" what you get when you add up a person's various stupidities? 🤭

Activity Timer interface. There is an activity timer at the top for the player to enter their activity. Below that there is an element displaying the character's current activity. then, below that there's a timeline displaying both player and character activities. The player elements have a light green background and border, and the character elements are a light orange with orange border.

I've made so many changes in the last two weeks!
- I've reordered the elements,
- changed the styling for emphasis to make the timer more important and the list quieter, and
- added colours based on whether it's a player or character element!

In my gameworld the characters have many points to explore around their villages. But they currently cannot get out of the house.

SAME, PEEPS!

This is quite often me

Jacob Collier just keeps making more and more cooler and cooler music, doesn't he? (Do I get to meet him?)

Three red and white chickens inspect a red and white water spigot.

“Hey, who’s the new girl?”

“I love my ball, I love my ball… where’ it go?”

Three panel comic. Panel 1: gym setting. One guy sees another guy across the gym with huge muscles. He remarks, “whoa! That dude is yolked!” Panel 2: a girl working out next to him says, “ugh, why do guys even want to get that big?” Panel 3: the extremely jacked guy is walking away with a slight smile. He is imagining himself dapping up a group of huge gorillas who are all happy and smiling, accepting him as one of their own.

Ok this is better than genAI. It's the same thing but without the.... /gestures wildly /

Photo of a sketchpad on a table with pens on the left and flacons of indian inks on the right. The sketch depicts a desertic landscape with a huge red orange orb in the sky. Left of a long rock stands a samurai silhouette and somewhere hides a cat. Indian ink on paper.

Can you spot the cat ?
