  1. Happy Carday

    My car is a year old. Or maybe not because I’m not sure if a car’s birthday is the day is was manufactured, or the day it arrived at the dealership, or the day I went out and picked it up. You can see I don’t know much about car birthdays.

    Its birthday (by my definition which is the day I picked it up) was actually yesterday and we went out and celebrated by driving to the park. We got there and I turned it off and opened the door and it told me it didn’t want me to get out and walk and I told it that it was the park and it said to me, “Yes, but it’s my birthday (by your definition) and I don’t want to be left alone in the parking lot with a bunch of scary cars.”

    “They’re just cars,” I said. “They’re not scary.”

    “Says someone who isn’t a car.”

    My car and I, we apparently have a lot in common.

    “Well, what can I do about—”

    “You can just stay with me.”

    So I sat and read and looked out at trees periodically and the car sat and rested. Or whatever cars do when they’re turned off. Except for the tires and the windshield wipers the thing is pretty much one giant computer so for all I know it rests by examining and evaluating my driving habits and radio preferences and my inability to sing and uploads all that information somewhere.

    We get along alright. It’s a Scorpio like me and I suspect that’s the reason why. And why we both like it when I drive through puddles. It’s surprising to me how many miles I don’t drive anymore since I don’t go to work every day. I should probably get out more. Go to a grocery store farther away. Travel. Maybe go to St. Paul or something.

    Car:

    Please don’t anyone tell my car that I thought of a song about an Oldsmobile, but I don’t know of any songs about Toyotas.

  2. Getting Cammi.app ready for #iphoneduo – this is the initial 27.1 build. Tomorrow I’m going to update the layout to work better on Duo.

  3. Good evening, all. I'm back online.

  4. I just voted online in our #Ontario municipal #election. I’m sure it took less than a minute. #vote #voting #democracy

  5. YIKES‼️The number of print, text and email political outreach communications I’m receiving daily has exploded, gone through the roof this last week - and I fear it’s only going to get worse right up to actual voting day. Well…my whole family has already voted - our ballots were signed and back at the county clerk’s two days after we got them in the mail. Jumped on that sh*t. I’d love to be funding all progressive candidates, but guys…I’m tapped out, retired with a fixed income, and when I have extra I donate to Gaza families. Please, leave me alone…my poor phone is getting overworked and I’m getting over-stressed. #USPol #USPolitics #Elections #Election2026

  8. This still isn't called Vulkanising Shaders, and I'm sad about that.

  9. The #49ers and #Bears are two teams prepared to be very active on the trade market and I’m expecting both teams to make some real noise.

    I discussed with @[email protected] on #ThePivot:

  10. Hello everyone!

    I wanted to re-introduce my work as I'm launching my website :)

    My debut series is "Adi Shakti", which is expected to launch in 2027. I love character art, so I paired character reveals with vignettes, so readers can have an idea of my characters in what will be a multi-POV cast. They're posted on IG, and more sustainably, on my website.

  11. Day 26 of #Arttrober is Tina Armstrong of the Dead or Alive fighting game series.

    I'm not a fighting game guy, so I have no opinions about Dead or Alive versus, say, Street Fighter. But fighting game characters do at least often have interesting character designs.

    This outfit (from DoA 6) has entirely too many studs. What idiot decided to draw this specific outfit for Tina?!

    (Me. I'm the idiot.)

  12. I will say, though, I’m three days into my week off (including the weekend) and if this is what retirement is like, I’m almost glad I’ll never be able to afford it.

  13. Time for another slice of life from the Loving series with “Too Close to Ignore” by M.A. Innes. #GayRomance #MMRomance #GayBookReviews

    The guys are taking a short vacation together, just the four of them. It should give them some time to relax and maybe work out the shifting boundaries of their relationship. It seems that at least some of them need more than they’re getting from their “secondary partners” but they don’t want to push for more than the other is willing to give. First, though, they have to survive whatever craziness Kevin instigates.

  14. We’re heading to Zion National Park this week! ⛰️

    I’m opening the gallery with Majestic Mountain Landscape at Sunset, a digital artwork inspired by Zion’s towering cliffs and the warm colors of the evening sky.

    There’s something special about landscapes that make you stop, look up, and appreciate the world around you.

  15. Mark Madden still thinks the Steelers play ‘Tomlin-y’ games: “I like McCarthy. I’m a supporter. I’m a believer. But they go out there and play ‘Tomlin-y’ games all the time. This was a Tomlin-y game. It’s a 16-10 win over a marginal team when a marginal quarterback (Tyler Shough) threw for 278 yards against you. Yeah, the Saints didn’t try to run the ball, and I do like the Steelers’ running game. But again, it all just comes back to being Tomlin-y. I don’t think their defense is good enough for them to win games against good teams.” #Steelers #NFL

  16. Company I know is doing like 100% conservation with with GeoAI. I'm not sure how you balance those two out currently.

  17. Been working on converting some piano chord PDFs to plain text, and I'm a little proud of my attempts at #AsciiArt (actually #UnicodeArt ;)

  19. OpenJDK has released yet another set of patch revisions to fix this issue. I'm working on updating the ports now.

    In parallel there's work ongoing to make it easier to make the OpenJDK rely on the certificates supplied by the FreeBSD base install instead of packing it's own. We should probably consider making this the default going forward.

  21. #WritersCoffeeClub 26/10: How did you develop your voice?
    I’m wary of the way the question is framed. The word ‘develop’ seems to imply that there’s a nice tidy technique or formula for this. There isn’t.
    I’d prefer to say that I *found* my voice, and the key elements in doing this are: lots of reading; lots of writing; listening to your characters—and absolutely no recourse to AI.
