A few weeks ago I ordered a new (from 2018?) NES game, Micro Mages, and it came in yesterday. Naturally, it made for a great Father's Day afternoon activity.

The annoying thing about doing a subscription drive is having to keep yelling about it. Doesn't work if I say nothing. Strange, eh?

I went with the family to a local speedway for some races. It was my first time, and lots of fun. Here's a photo of a driver chatting up the race official as his car is being towed off the track. 😅

Yesterday I sent off my Canadian citizenship application for my boys and I! I've been working on this for months, so I'm super excited to have this part taken care of.

I'm often working with old code, and it's not that bad. It's even easier if you practice incremental maintenance. ryanharter.com/blog/2026/05...

Incremental Maintenance :: Ryan Harter

I recently reviewed some code at work that made me pause. The change affected a part of the codebase that we affectionately call “The Monolith”, which is some of the oldest code in our 16 ...

I spent spring break in Arkansas, where I got to visit Crater of Diamonds State Park and Hot Springs National Park. I also go to try out the new Harman Switch Azure film, with some color couplers switched, which is really surreal.

Does it count as "using" Bluesky if you're just here for @frogandtoadbot.bsky.social? Asking for a friend.

I've been working with an artist for months to design a piece that captures my fascination with light and color. I've spent 15 years learning to simulate it with graphics programming, then moved to analog processes in the darkroom. Today the piece was installed, and I love it!

It's Friday night! Let's go!

After introducing the boys to Star Wars the last couple of weeks, it's time to start on the next challenge!

Your post is also a good reminder of why writing abstractions for code that _seems_ similar is often a bad long-term idea.

I just returned from a week in California for Google I/O and some other stuff at Google, which was amazing. I was a little surprised to come back to this kitchen renovation, however. 😅

I recently had the chance to share how we test at scale at Dropbox in a guest post on the Android Engineering blog! ⁨https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/how-dropbox-leverages-testing-to-maintain-high-level-of-trust-at-scale-b7b1bdf6161e⁩

Tonight I'm playing around with a C program to fetch my currently playing track from Last.fm. I'm thinking of using it as a CGI script so that I can have a fun current moment page at ryanharter.com while still keeping the site Javascript free.

I just booked flights and hotels for a family trip to Bologna, Italy and Lisbon, Portugal in two months. I'm getting really excited!

I'm watching The Fifth Element with Sara, who's never seen it. As soon as the cab says "Dallas", Sara reflexively says "Corbin Dallas". I asked how she knew that and she reminded me that I wanted to name our kids Corbin Dallas Harter. I totally forgot. 😅

After a year or so, I spent some time this holiday break to finally put a 4" touchscreen on my Volumio HiFi streamer. It was a nice addition, but I decided it could use a little more space for interaction, so I got a 7" touchscreen instead. It's nice to be able to control this without my phone.

We decorated our Christmas tree today, and set up a "new" train! The old one was from Sara's grandpa, from the early 50s. This one came from a family member in an unopened box packed with a Lionel catalog for 1988.

Are you terrified about your #Android app getting compromised through a build supply chain attack? (you likely should be!) I wrote a post on how to enable signature verification of your Gradle dependencies to make that a lot harder for the threat actors www.liutikas.net/2024/12/12/T... #gradle
