Nice! For my purposes, I figured it was worth skipping right over UIKit for now. Not angling for dev jobs, just looking for the latest and greatest DIY options. Also tried some no-code and AI tools, but I'm not afraid to dig in and spend the time learning Swift.

Shout out to my hubby @terrafirma9.bsky.social for recommending the excellent #100daysofswiftUI. I haven't coded since undergrad and it's been fun to get back to it.

Same! What brought you to 100 days of SwiftUI?

Thx! Yes and no--I'm working on a concept for an app with my friends, but also looking forward to new ideas popping up as I see what SwiftUI can do. 😀

I need a clippy thing in my browser that pops up whenever I'm searching for lumber or diy stuff and asks if I need help managing things that feel out of control.

"The thief is requested to return the rooster. No question will be asked. If he can cruelly keep the rooster after reading this and learning how deeply he has wronged Mr. Kehm, he is a hard-hearted, low-down thief, unworthy of his calling, and ought to go to jail."

ROBBED AFTER ALL. THIEVES THAT VISITED CHAS. KEHM STOLE HIS PRIZE ROOSTER. It seems, after all, that the thieves which visited the property of Chas. H. Kehm, 1214 Walnut Street, on Wednesday night, who it was thought were scared off, secured some plunder. They stole his prize rooster, a rooster that was the joy to Mr. Kehm’s existence; a Brown Leghorn of the purest strain; a rooster with an incomparable crow which rendered the purchase of alarm clocks in the neighborhood a useless investment; a rooster that had won prizes at the Fair; a rooster that laid eggs; a rooster that Mr. Kehm wouldn’t have given for all roosters and lots to boot thrown in; in short, the greatest rooster, a rooster that made life to Mr. Kehm worth living. A year ago they stole 18 fowls from Mr. Kehm, but the loss didn’t depress him as did the loss of this particular rooster whose virtues have just been enumerated. Early in July a night burglar went through the whole house, Mr. Kehm’s bedroom included, and stole all his deeds, mortgages and judgment notes, besides a finger ring and a breast pin, but that loss didn’t affect him as does the loss of the rooster. The thief is requested to return the rooster. No question will be asked. If he can cruelly keep the rooster after reading this and learning how deeply he has wronged Mr. Kehm, he is a hard-hearted, low-down thief, unworthy of his calling, and ought to go to jail. Mr. Kehm seriously contemplates giving up the chicken raising business altogether, summing up the situation by saying, “Fer vos soll ich sie don raisa fer onnera leid?” His friends don’t want to see him abandon chicken raising. Even the chicken thieves ought to force such abandonment, thereby killing the goose that lays the golden egg. (Later.) Mr. Kehm has yielded to the solicitation of his friends and will not go out of the chicken business. But he will transform his chicken yard into an arsenal, underlaid with dynamite mines and fortified with trap guns.

I love old #newspapers. You never know what you'll find, like this 1900 appeal for a stolen rooster. According to ChatGPT, the German quote is a phonetic rendering of a dialect and expresses frustration, questioning why Mr. Kehm should continue raising #chickens only to have them stolen by others.

My 4th grader is a good speller, sometimes in hilariously creative ways. When she attempted to play this “word(?)” in #Scrabble, I explained it’s not a thing but I really want to see what #chatgpt thinks it looks like. Behold, the #merbison.
