It feels like 90% of my programming is simply renaming things.

I had reason to look up the Wikipedia entry on Canberra this morning and the bit that really got me was that the name might be an Aboriginal word meaning boobs (technically, Ngunnawal for the ‘hollow between a woman’s breasts’ referring to the mountains surrounding the city).
I’m having a hard time squaring the COVID-19 situations in Japan and Italy.
It’s weird that there isn’t a better way in Apple’s Music app to ‘pin’ a genre page somewhere easily accessible. I’ve resorted to creating a shortcut but it sure feels janky to have to open Safari every time.
I don’t know if I’ve ever loved anything as much as my 2-year-old son loves PJ Masks.
I’m driven mildly neurotic every time I see the Walt Disney Pictures opening production logo where, as the camera pans around the castle, the flag fluttering atop it rotates around its flag pole at exactly the same speed. I mean, what is this? Some kind of magic castle?
Version 0.1.0 of Pondent is live. It’s a very simple React web app in ClojureScript for adding Markdown-formatted files (with frontmatter) to a GitHub repo. Still pretty rough but now supports titles! Great for Jekyll- or Hugo-powered blogs.
I think after almost three (!) years, I’m finally getting able to do aerial shots in Rocket League.
Go! Go! Cory Carson is delightful.
This is from Pondent running on GitHub Pages.
I spent an inordinate amount of time yesterday trying to work out why some HTTP calls were failing in Pondent before realising hours later it was because of cross-origin resource sharing limitations.
If everything worked, this post was created in Pondent.
That feeling when you realise the functionality you assembled out of low level requests is provided by a single API endpoint :(
Pondent can now commit a text file to a repository! Getting closer to having something where I can write these updates!
I wish you could register domain names through CloudFlare. The way it works at the moment is you need to register with a different registrar and then transfer.
Remember IRC?
I don’t know if this is news to anyone else but in (at least) iOS 13.3.1, app icons will go into ‘wiggle mode’ if you long press and keep holding. You’ll see the context menu first but just wait and they’ll start moving eventually.
It frustrates me that people keep saying the Japanese Government should be doing ‘more’ about COVID-19 without saying at any point what ‘more’ they want to be done.
