Why is the job-search process so... bad? It's not even a technological problem, it's a human problem.

I know what my next blog post will be about.

Nobody asked for it, and it's ten months too late, but this is what I thought of that killer-doll movie M3GAN. https://www.ndhfilms.com/reviews/m3gan

Has a popular comic-book franchise recently entered the public domain? Consider the Rarebit webcomic template for your own adaptation. Rarebit allows you to self-host your webcomic, and all JS is open-source. https://rarebit.neocities.org/ (I am unaffiliated with Rarebit, I am merely passing the word along)

Going to stay off Twitter for a while.

I tried to have a video call on Jitsi Meet last night. It seems calls on the site now require a moderator, and to become a moderator one must log in through Google, Facebook, or... GitHub. Has anyone else seen this?

Winnie-the-Pooh has been updated on Nantucket E-Books. As with the past version, all images have alt text. https://nantucketebooks.com/winnie-the-pooh

When your site doesn't have ads, it won't pester visitors about using an ad blocker. #nantucketebooks

In a Nantucket E-Book, the favicon is stored as a base-64 string. The favicon is small enough that it was reasonable to store it as a string, rather than make a GET request to the server.

I am noticing that one particular web scraper keeps requesting that string in the root folder of the site. I'd like to find a way to politely decline its requests.

As a writer and software developer, I owe a lot to Bram Moolenar. I never interacted with him, but his program Vim has had a big impact on my life. He passed away this week. https://groups.google.com/g/vim_announce/c/tWahca9zkt4?pli=1

#SongsThatGetStuckInYourHead Here are some that have tormented me:

* Theme from Amphibia

* The IMP jingle from Helluva Boss

* Theme from Urusei Yatsura

* Hydrogen from the Hotline Miami OST

* The 'Polka Face' medley by Weird Al
