ColdFusion was like writing looping html and it was … it was something. πŸ˜†

I once had a title that was like Senior WebOps Engineer and I really didn't care for that one lol

this is part of why I love playing games on my Steam Deck. Having two trackpads within comfortable reach of my thumbs is the best.

This is true for my kids too. I took their mom’s name, not the other way around. Their mom’s β€œmaiden name” is their last name.

(I also haven’t found a masc version of β€œmaiden name” to describe my pre-marriage name)

I originally started a new site to give a new home to my @glitch.com projects since that's shuttered, but now I'm debating if I want to port all my little garbage things or maybe just keep some up in their very ancient state.

I wrote a whole ton of random little experimental things using JS in like 2008, 2009, and I'm now working on creating a new personal website, and it's kind of a weird wild blast from the past to look at this code that had like, IE8 polyfills and jQuery 1.7 and such

Today is the first day that I’ve been unemployed without another job lined up since 2003.

That’s a weird feeling.

I’ve made it through like … at least six or seven rounds of layoffs at various companies in my career. Never once laid off, somehow.

Guess that streak had to end someday. Like today.

If you need someone who’s been writing JS since the β€˜90s and knows weird browser shit AND backend too, hit me up!

There’s messages here too though, yeah?

I can only imagine the wild shit you get.

Waaaay late reply to say that my fingers were too chonky for a gen 3 but I just set up a gen 4 (size 15 πŸ˜…) and I’m super excited about it.

Thank you for all this insight some months ago!

Glitch going away is apparently the kick I needed to get going with a new website. I haven't done this in ... ages. Enjoying Astro for it.

I was thoroughly enjoying the stream and wish I didn’t have to dip out so quickly.

Somehow I’m like β€œI want to create a new personal website but have no idea what to do as a domain”

13yo: I don't always understand your jokes, dad. They're bad.
Me: Yeah, they can't all be bangers that hit hard. (This is a callback to earlier w/ them)
13yo: Ugh
Me: I'm sorry they don't skibidi rizz.
13yo: Dad
Me: My jokes are from Ohio, okay?
13yo: Do you enjoy seeing me suffer?
Me: Sometimes

I appreciate you writing this. I’m not the most active community member and only have a few things up there, but the few I had, I loved so much and building them on Glitch was absolutely joyful.

A sad day. πŸ˜”

I was in queue on my phone and my PC, and both have dumped me to empty cart twice now. I was able to easily requeue but who knows when that'll work.

I do know other people who are getting thru with Best Buy though. Just, not me yet.
