I can only assume five people appreciate Seth Meyers’ running joke about Settlers of Catan but as one of them, I want to congratulate his writing staff. I would be delighted to play Ocean Master.

I think the New Yorker has fixed their desktop website so that pressing the space bar properly scrolls a ‘page’ without hiding any content under the top navigation bar (I can’t remember now if it had this problem). If someone did fix it, kudos to you, anonymous web developer!
I am 38 years old and writing a Markdown parser in my free time. Where did it all go wrong?
I get very little spam (fortunately) but I’ve noticed that even that amount has fallen by a third over the past couple of months. Is anyone else noticing this? I’m judging my amount of spam by what’s in Gmail’s spam folder.
I constantly pinball between thinking all the time I spend reading articles online is a waste and thinking that consistent interaction with new ideas and perspectives is critical for my mental development.
I’m a bit disappointed how difficult it is to build Swift from source.
Last August my friend Kurt Johnson posted a short story to his blog about online radicalisation. In light of recent events, I’ve found myself thinking about it repeatedly.
My friend Julie Koh wrote another delightfully strange short story, ‘Confessions of the Greatest Martyr of All Time’ and you can read it for free on the website of Liminal magazine. Go now!
The colours on some of the ‘bezels’ of the Apple Watch GMT face are the inverse of my expectations. With the Rose Gold combination, for example, it’s night time during the ‘rose gold’ segment. Is that how it’s supposed to be?
I went and updated the version of Ruby running on my web server to version 3.0. Looks like it’s all working properly now.
I just updated Feedstock, a Ruby library of mine, for the first time in forever (technically yesterday but that update was the first time in more than a year). I use it to generate RSS feeds for a couple of webpages that don’t have them.
I’d prefer to have kept using Spotlight but I’m still suffering a crash whenever I type mes and Alfred has proven a good replacement. Purchased the Mega Licence!
I finally bit the bullet and just installed Windows into a VM. I know you don’t need to activate it but I wanted to change the background wallpaper and found a Windows Home licence key I purchased more than 5 years ago (!) and, to my surprise, it still works.
I mentioned a week or so ago that Facebook kept sending me e-mails about problems logging into Instagram. I thought that was a cynical attempt to get me to open the app but I’m not sure now; I’ve had a couple of password reset e-mails from different services lately.
