I think that a lot of commonplace wisdom can actually be great advice if it weren't always spouted off ad nauseam so as to not be taken seriously anymore.

One of my deepest personal flaws is how often I forget that size_t is unsigned.

You don't need to actually smoke the thing to ash a cigarette out of a car window

I'm back on my programming bullshit, but I've been very displeased with the experience of using github recently. I think I'll take things into my own hands and have that stuff hosted on my own website once that's happening.

Pink Floyd - The Wall is still the goat

I hate youtube again.

bill wurtz doesn't miss

drinking hot drinks like coffee and tea most of the time remains an effective method of tricking myself into (indirectly) drinking more water

I'm not sure if I'll ever get over just how cool fourier transforms are

Just now learned that Bleak House (the NWOBHM band) made a comeback this year with the Tyrant EP. Having a listen right now, it's pretty good.

dude there's a reason people tell you to practice your scales, I actually feel like I've gotten substantially better over the past few weeks

a second video has hit the youtube channel www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-NN...

another video is on the way i'm on a fucking roll

the Unforgiven solo is so fucking fun to play

My dreams under usual circumstamces are so realistic and so believable that when I get fever dreams I imagine it's like what other people's dreams are usually like

I've been gaslit into thinking I don't know how to play in time because my daw keeps very strangely compensating for 25ms of IO latency that isn't there. More at seven.

WAV files are shockingly uncomplicated

minecraft server is back in business, i'm so juiced

I want to learn how to do more things. Perpetually. Currently on the itinerary, drawing by hand, photography (some of which you've been seeing).

Elon Musk's net worth is now estimated to be over 1 trillion USD. If you're not sure how to put that in perspective, there are an estimated 36.8 million people in the USA living in poverty (in 2023, census.gov). If you have $1 trillion under your mattress, you can afford to give each of them $27K.

Of all the strange activities I spend my spare time on programming consistently seems like the most fulfilling one, yet every so often I still forget just how much joy it brings me and I go weeks without doing much of it. I think there's something wrong with me.

JWST keeps getting cooler the more I learn about it

My audio plugins are misbehaving again. It could be because of my frankensteined system setup, but it's gotta be someone else's fault, right?

holding the aperture lever by hand has been working much better, actually. easier to control than I imagined it would be.

oh my goodness gracious (no spider in this one)

more spider photos coming soon. I now know how to manually set the aperture on my lens when reverse mounting which was holding me back far more than I realized. The one from last night was taken with a piece of scotch brand cellophane tape over the aperture lever, pretty effective.

maybe Larinioides patagiatus but it's anyone's guess really.
