Liebe Rüsseltierchen. Das Singen im Dachs war sehr schön. Englische und deutsche Weihnachtslieder mit Klavierbegleitung, teils im Kanon gesungen. Und nun trinke ich noxh ein alkfreies dunkles Bier, dazu habe ich einen Käseteller gehabt.

Lansam gehe ich nach Hause. Es regnet. Euch allen wünsche ich eine gute Nacht mit schönen Träumen. 😴🥱💤😊😘🎄🕯️🕯️🕯️🙋👋🤗🐘🦣

Well, I knew I had to rearrange the parts of the end of my new Cordwainer novel and that the new arrangement would require some major rewriting. Today I finally got into it, cutting and pasting and writing a whole new scene. I haven't finished yet, but I think I'm finished for today. I just hope I don't look at it tomorrow and see that I've made a mess of it.

In the carpark near the beach in CT I discovered a group of isopods up to no good.

The pill bugs had formed a pentagram of beach trash, mostly delicate bones of birds & fish. It was about the size of a quarter. They kept adjusting it and adding to it as I watched, horrified, yet fascinated.

I was so engrossed in the mysterious antics of the little woodlice that I didn't even notice the man who'd joined me watching, until he spoke.

"Amazing aren't they?" He said, his voice deep, but warm. 1/18

Very specific accessibility-related question for screen reader users.

There's this thing I do in my apps where I display the keyboard shortcut at the end of every relevant tooltip. I personally find this extremely useful, and am wondering if I should replicate it in the screen reader description.

My concern is that on average it'll probably add 3 to 5 extra words to the end of button and menu item descriptions...is this fine, or would it be super annoying?

One change this semester: I no longer required students to write papers in the dread five-paragraph format. It has been very liberating for some. If we are asking them to think independently, why shouldn’t they also express themselves outside of the cookie cutter? Though I begin many a comment now with: “Disclaimer: a freshman comp instructor probably wouldn’t approve. But I am not a freshman comp instructor.”

"Now, they've been building up to this day for five years, but before I finally join Charlene and Phil together, I must ask the question. Does any person gathered here today know of any reason why these two souls should not be joined together in holy matrimony?"

"Waaaaaaaaaittt!"

"Huh!"

"Pete, what the hell?"

"You can't marry him, Charlene!"

"Why? You barely know us? You just work with Phil sometimes..."

"Yeah, what the hell, Pete?"

"Charlene, one time at work, I heard Phil say, 'visa versa'."

"Well, whats wrong with that?"

"Phil, is this true?"

"Charlene, I, what is wrong with saying that? Isn't it a phrase?"

"Come on Charlene, let's get out of here. We'll start a new life together. You can come live at mine, or vice versa."

"Oh Pete!!!"

"Charleeeeeneee!!!"

My blog turned 20 yesterday! Some silly teenage thing turned into the longest running project I've ever maintained.

I wrote a post talking about feeling old, and sexy bifocals. I'm sorry.

I remembered this almost forgotten #Ska 2-Tone song by this band with only one album, but they don't go unnoticed to have them in the collection... enjoy!

Ireland has an actual culture. It doesn't need AI as a crutch.

Places of proven cultural value shouldn't have data centers.

It's like forcing everyone with a bike to have training wheels.

The perversion of inclusion needs to end. Not the planet.

#GuteNacht liebe Tröties und Toots!
Kühlschrank und Vorratskammer sind mit den Vorräten für die nächste Woche wohl gefüllt - morgen geht es ans Geschenke einpacken und einige Fotos müssen noch in die cloud.
Dann widme ich mich mal dem Sockenstricken... 🧶🧦wie es sich für ältere Damen gehört.
Die Krippe ist inzwischen gut bevölkert, nur der Stall ist noch leer...
Schlaft bunt und träumt schön 🌈 ✨ 😴 💤 💫 🐈‍⬛

Other have arrived ... Fortunately they just gave me a wave and kept away from me ... Otherwise I might have to force my body to be stabby stabby

Totally coincidental and no one’s fault but deeply unfortunate…

As my dad prepares for his first Christmas alone since my mom passed, he decided to treat himself to a new Echo Show 8.

The box arrives and written on the outside was “Alexa, call Angela.”

Guess what my mom’s name is.

Anyway, I say we turn it round into indisputable proof that wherever we go next, it’s possible to troll from there.

LinkedIN has games now. I played one - it was a bit fun. But you only get one board a day and it’s a naked attempt to up their daily average users. So I made my own. GUIs are the worst, but the algo to build the game board was pretty fun.

Happy to share the code. I’ll publish it when it’s done.
