a CCL tear and TPLO surgery, a few days in the hospital with AHDS, and now a planned gallbladder surgery to deal with thickened mucocele plus a Cushing’s diagnosis. It’s been quite the year so far for my two dogs. I’d do anything to keep them happy and healthy for as long as possible.
whew, we’re really in throes of augie-doggie now

I never called what I did “coding” and tbh I found being called a “coder” demeaning if not insulting I fixed shit and solved problems and sometimes it involved code. Sometimes it didn’t. The biggest money-save I ever made happen at a job was from reading AWS documentation, not “coding”
I loved coding and I don’t regret this new approach at all
it is nice to have the robot work on something while I read a book. and the Dungeon Crawler Carl series has been a fun read so far, now on book four
Getting ever closer to opening the app up to a public TestFlight beta! Of course right now it relies on a specific PDS implementation so I’d also need to mint invites for folks. Perhaps before I open it, I work on the interop with any PDS. obsign.org

An identity wallet for the AT Protocol. The keys that control your identity live in your device's Secure Enclave, not on someone else's server.

I should probably get to writing about what I’ve been building and sharing it with folks. I think it’s cool, I’ve done a couple seamless account migrations in-app, I’ve added blobstore backup to iCloud, Secure Enclave holds your root rotationKey, and we generate a recovery key split in shares.
This is a fascinating experiment with the Bluesky firehose aim.cee.wtf
Buddy List — who's online on Bluesky
An AIM-style buddy list of your Bluesky mutuals. See who's online in real time — with the door chime when someone signs on.

Man it was great seeing Weird Al. Fantastic music, and I honestly really look up to him, I think it takes a ton of wit to do what he does, and he and his band are so talented. I wish to be so comfortably “weird” (complimentary).
first time running into a fable classifier error when working on one of my side projects I had asked it to do a code review …uhhh what did you find buddy? 🫣
maybe it’s the wrong thing to say but like, man, staff engineer was a title handed to me. but I’m already past “making enough to be comfortable”. i was as senior. i don’t desire to make work _more_ of my life. so like, telling me i’m super great in some areas, but im not “staff enough”? 1/
an idea I’ve been playing around with a lot lately: about.obsign.org might be too early to share but I’ve been having fun. messy, marketing copy almost certainly needs polish. but hey! steal my idea, or hit me up to chat about it :)

hey slack, :) and 🙂 are NOT the same and imma need you to stop changing it, thank you
hm, try to open a tangled PR, I get a success response back from the server but it hangs at a blank page. the pull never shows up in the repo. knot logs look good. but pds logs show it returning 500s on uploadBlob due to certificate expiry. so, how did I fuck this up now lol

next time, work slack does not go on the personal phone
born to build bricked blast furnaces forced to meet for 8 hours to discuss twiddling a bit
brain ran critically low on happy juice so now we just gregtech new horizons instead of working on projects or being “productive” these ebfs aren’t going to build themselves

soooo close to having a v0.1 of an “atproto identity wallet” app but silly things like “work” and “keeping myself alive” keep getting in the way
Minecraft but chunks are atproto records and every entity interaction is another atproto record
i’m hearing that some of you would like to skip april fools day this year. as head fool (this is the title they give you when the day of foolishness is also the day of your birth), i’ve got to say i am a little disappointed however i’ll allow it, JUST this once. in return, no “got you a gift jk!”
