Again, I don't want to work on this, I want to work on my game. I did install Cambalache though.
I'm sure trying to make a suitable GUI will cure my brain of wanting to make this git GUI.

Good news: wasted way less time doomscrolling on the internet. Bad news: I got Hades 2 and did nothing but game in the last few days. #hyperfocus #hyperfixation #hades2

the Canadian #wildfires threw me into an #airquality #adhd #hyperfocus
1. I now own a PM1/2.5/10 detector (also co2, etc) and found my house air is surprisingly clean considering we have 4 cats
2. I'm still gonna build a corsi-rosenthal filter just for fun (since I have a way to measure effectiveness)
3. While ordering filters for that , found out neither of us has been changing the furnace filter. In fact, we don't even own the correct size. The "filters" (more like loose sponges) in there appear to be original from....2021?
Maybe the thick coats of dust explain why the air is so clean. But it might be better to take the strain off the blower...
Anyway, ordered a pack of MERV 13s in the right size so we'll see.

I am absolutely nerding out while trying to create a board game. It's a mashup of a few different games I like - Abduction, Mall of America, Betrayal at House on the Hill. I've made both physical and digital assets using #Squib and have imported those components into both #TabletopSimulator and #Screentop. I might give #Tabletopia a go as well.
I've been in that frame of mind where I'm working on it for hours at a time and having a hard time pulling myself away from it. #hyperfocus #todayidid

I have created a blog (https://kirjorastas.codeberg.page/), where I share thoughts on topics such as books, navigating the world as autistic, autism in the popular culture
In my first post I talk about how the blog was made and think about individualism and autistic hyperfocus. If you have any comments, put them here since I haven't figured out yet how to add them to the blog!
Also, if anyone has any blog recommendations, I'd be curious to check them out!

A related thing, which by chance I also read today, is this bit from @robinince's book "Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal", quoting autistic coder Jamie:
"'There are some of us who do our best everything in these long, flowy attention tunnels. But we have a society that is increasingly designed not to create flowing attention tunnels.' ... The whole concept of a nine-to-five doesn't take into account how somebody gets into the place to creatively fulfill the needs of their work.
"... Rather than tasks, [Jamie] designs his days around tunnels. If he starts his day by getting into a flow state, then he can get lots of things done. But if he starts the day with a task hanging over him, he'll get nothing done. ...
"'When I get up in the morning, I'm more focused on "how do I get into that flow state" than I am about "how do I get started on task X".'"

I'm appreciating this discussion at @askamanager about work rhythms and neurodiversity:
https://www.askamanager.org/2026/07/is-everyone-working-40-hours-a-week-except-me.html
E.g. this comment from CanadianDot:
"As someone with ADHD, I tend to work in deep, intense, super fast bursts, leaving me with more time that I’m not working. My output is still high level, at the same or more quantity than my peers. ... I like to think of it as not that I’m not working enough hours, but that I spend a lot of those “not working” hours letting ideas and energy coalesce in my brain that then get dumped out all at once.
"... I used to feel like I wasn’t doing enough because I had more time between tasks than it seemed like everyone else did, but I’ve learned that it’s just my working process. OP, if you’re getting the job done, that’s what matters, not the time it takes."

Reason no. 3 "why I like being autistic"
My selective hyper-memory and hyper-focus.
This can mean persevering past the point where others would give up – so developing knowledge, skill, or creativity to unusual depths. ⚓
That said, I may sometimes forget how to use a kettle.

Wrapped my head round some potential schedules for me to be working on & teaching myself to stick to.
Aiming to get up at 06:00 in the morning so that when I get a job I can hopefully be compus mentis by the time I need to be there, assuming start is 08:30 - 09:00.
Hoping I can help myself by starting all my days at the same time & with the same start up routine.
Hoping I can start tomorrow but with just one night to get myself up to speed. I will be trying to remind myself that I am expecting tomorrow to fail as it will take time for me to adapt. Also, if I don't start trying / aiming for it I will never be able to adapt to it.
Shout out to @TheBreadmonkey for his inspirational Posts (Toots) for reminding me that reality is hell, until you've gone out & flattened it & feel awesome (hopefully) for having grabbed it by it's twisty, twisty horns & survived.

Got stuck in an #ADHD #Hyperfocus vortex trying to code my own version of Linux'
free(1)in #ksh, because the free in the pkg repo isn't great.I think I was at it for two hours until half an hour ago. 🤦♂️ 🥱
And NOW I just realized that the
freeI've been using in #FreeBSD is one of my own scripts as well, which I probably could have just adapted for OpenBSD with maybe minimal fuss, LOL. -

I've gotten really #hyperfocus obviously
This time, I got sniped by this video about #Illustrator and #Photoshop and wanted to recreate it in #Inkscape and #GIMP
He uses PS "smart objects" to add the glow which GIMP doesn't appear to have. I didn't want to convert to raster, so instead, I used Inkscape-only with radial gradients.
Unexpectedly, the tricky part was getting a full outline of the drawing.
Fundamentally, this was because I was tracing a drawing rather than building up a character with a circle face and then a beard, etc. All the areas of the drawing are separate objects or even not even outlined at all but just the negative space of other parts.
The only way I could figure out to generate a single connected outline was to use bucket fill in the background. (other than just tracing the outline one more time...)
The only other non-straightforward thing was using a different blend mode and building up multiple gradients

I've gotten really #hyperfocus obviously
This time, I got sniped by this video about #Illustrator and #Photoshop and wanted to recreate it in #Inkscape and #GIMP
He uses PS "smart objects" to add the glow which GIMP doesn't appear to have. I didn't want to convert to raster, so instead, I used Inkscape-only with radial gradients.
Unexpectedly, the tricky part was getting a full outline of the drawing.
Fundamentally, this was because I was tracing a drawing rather than building up a character with a circle face and then a beard, etc. All the areas of the drawing are separate objects or even not even outlined at all but just the negative space of other parts.
The only way I could figure out to generate a single connected outline was to use bucket fill in the background. (other than just tracing the outline one more time...)
The only other non-straightforward thing was using a different blend mode and building up multiple gradients

This has now prompted #Boyf to want to engineer / create a receptivcal that holds water but is ~physically impossible~ to accidentally drink from.
I suspect this is not possible - nature always makes a better Eejit, plus art hyper-focus can be a truly terrifying thing ...
