Notes and scribbles

Which bitch just got awarded Permanent Residence in Germany? (clue: it’s me)

People in the UK are posting pictures of themselves at the pub. Might go scream for a while.

Having tried to use the Instagram API this weekend I can only conclude that Facebook hates everyone, including its own developers.

There is definitely an abusive relationship going on there.

I'm on a committee for deciding on how our 10000+ company moves forward with internal messaging apps.

I have suggested that we use IRC.

I can say with absolute certainty that if I didn’t need a twitter account for my career, I’d delete it forever. It’s mind numbingly addictive and awful.

The problem I have with it is that I can’t use it only a bit, or for a short time. It’s all or nothing. And I’m starting to get the addicts clarity that maybe I need to go cold turkey.

Ive had to deactivate my Twitter account for a bit. It’s hurting my mental health and, frankly, it’s addictive.

"There's nothing sexier than an older woman's bedside medicine collection", she thought, as she refilled her pill box.

Exciting times as my partner and I play the ancient game of “try to sneak past the guinea pig cage without them noticing”. Partner won after managing to crawl all the way across the living room floor without them squealing at her.

Okay, so I started smoking again a few months ago. Fucking awful habit, and this time it made me actually feel ill. But I couldn’t stop. Each lungful felt amazing, but afterwards I felt sick as a dog. Like my body was giving me side eye.

So the other night I smocked a lot during a Friday night pre-curfew bender. The resulting hangover was absolutely awful. Proper 24 hour stuff. But it all felt like the aftermath of the fags.

I am getting anti-menopause products pushed at me and I’d like to know what online surveillance capitalism knows that I don’t

Okay dipshits, I've channeled the anger into my website and started actually doing stuff on the frontend instead of fucking around with node.

Berlin has just - JUST - decided that mandatory working from home for office workers during a pandemic MIGHT be a good idea. 🇩🇪➡️🌊

The 12” of Rhythm of the Night is giving me fucking LIFE.

This time last year you couldn’t have paid me enough to post a photo from this angle. The wonders of modern medicine, eh?

Just spent 45 minutes looking at cases for a NAS build and I feel like I've had my soul sucked out via my fanny.

Today's two major work discussions were:

a) about apportioning responsibilities between frontend and backend people, with regard to #a11y, performance, and robustness.

About once a day I find myself missing Twitter, so I comfort take a look and nope nope nope it’s just absolute misery and psychodrama.

I feel 10000000x better for not being on there.

Today we found out that Germany is going into another month of lockdown. I’m gonna be honest pals: even introverted me is starting to lose it a bit.

A huge flare up of the autoimmune nonsense that is plaguing my mortal body. Feel both drunk and like I have the flu at the same time.

Fixed up the code for this website somewhat. Take a look!

It's now not embarrassing me as much as it was.
