Unscrew the radiator from the wall. What could possibly go wrong? You’ve got this.

Absolutely agree on the changes to disability benefits - I want labour to do well but they keep seeming to raid areas of the finances that are particularly painful/unpopular to keep their tax promises - not good. I’d welcome a new deal type thing to address unemployment though.

Genuine question, I’m a left person too, what’s the bullying part in that article? Sounds a bit like he’s alliding to a new deal type thing to me?

Remember Four Seasons Total Landscaping? That was fun. I preferred the old MAGA.

Yeah, I hope to got this shit doesn’t work.

Realised the play: Trump instigates Oval Office spat, claims the US admin can’t work with Zelenskyy because of that, tries to force Ukrainians to oust him, election is held, Russian does their thing and installs a puppet, Russian and USA carve up the country between them.

Why do people keep pointing TV cameras at Liz Truss?

A weird but fun side effect of using that migration tool to move my follows from X - I now follow lots of people with the same name as people I used to follow but who are completely random. Into it.

Damn, that is useful. Nice one.

Having a strange music taste phase.

I had a go at making a Gundam kit this Christmas while my son was building some. Was quite entertaining.

I wrote a lot of code in the back half of 2024 and it felt great. Programming is my favourite brain activity. Hoping 2025 is year a year of code.

Blood And Truth is still one of my favourite VR games. Astro is so creative too.

Does anyone know of any text chat based AI apps that have really nice mobile friendly UIs?

Christmas has begun.

Knackered buy with small red patch between eyes.

Does anyone else get this? Small red patch right between my eyes. Normally happens when I’m a bit run down. I think it’s like my engine warning light. So odd.

And finally, jeeeez, web dev has really jumped the shark. All the frameworks are completely arcane.

The other thing that’s wild is just how much developer tooling around it there is. Coming from XR where there’s basically zero quality tools and platforms , it’s kinda staggering.

I’ve spent this week building a reasonably complex app with LLMs. It’s fascinating. It’s incredibly crude but also kinda magical. It changes the game when you are working with something non-deterministic that you need to cajole into doing what you want. A whole new way of thinking about UX.

This is unrelated to anything but when I was walking down the street in Manhattan years ago I overheard a woman on her phone. The snippet I heard was: “I was tryin to be nice…I said, I’ll cut you, ho” Totally immersive NYC experience.

Fancy seeing you here.

Ah man, that’s no good. Hope you shake it soon.

I don't use Quora but for some reason it emails me answers to questions about kidney failure on a weekly basis. I could unsubscribe but...?

I have found a solution to this conundrum! @danwrong.social

I will try not to write anything else about JavaScript.

Stay with me, just FTPing a sick Perl script to CGI-BIN.
