I got some cheap Bluetooth headphones and now I can actually listen to music a lot better again. All my other headphones have one nonfunctional speaker due to a bad cord and this is my way to solve the problem a lot more permanently.

aaaaaaaaaa I can afford groceries now! I can try all the better versions of the food I'd been getting that I wanted to, and I can get all the snacks. I can even eat out sometimes if I want to without feeling bad about it

Trying some potential title screen stuff based on tracing over pencil art from earlier. It's looking a lot better than trying to do it purely with placing down pixels.

I feel like it was a mistake for IRC (or at least UnrealIRCd) to natively be able to automatically ban someone from a channel if they're in another specific channel, so I'm making sure the tools I provide can't do that sort of thing. You have to think about the social consequences of your design.

Next in Tilemap Town I'm probably going to add in the ability to create user groups that you can then invite people to join, and it'd function like Second Life's groups where you could add (but not remove) permissions based on group membership.

Good for either actually having an organization with shared privileges that's included in a whitelist across several maps, or just giving yourself permissions across all your alts.

On one hand I miss when furry IRC was really active, but on the other hand I haven't been directly involved in petty conflicts in a long time

I'm using Isabelle as my profile picture for Slack at work, haha

Hahahaha icebreaker question during orientation: "What animal would you be if you could choose one and why"

Of course I said squirrel

No longer being able to stay up until 4 AM is going to mean I'll see a lot of friends much less than I currently do, but hopefully there will be people I was missing out on due to not being awake in the morning to make up for it. EST isn't a good timezone for internet buddies.

I start my first day of work tomorrow

Moving your sleep schedule is pretty hard

There are a lot of words that signal a particular type of content when they are part of a warning, but are also just plain English words that would not have that association when used in the main text.

I wonder if browser-side toot filtering (with the granularity I'd want it to have, namely control over matching CWs or the main text) would make sense, or if things are set up where that'd be very tricky to insert.

I bought a green colored 64GB flash drive today (my previous biggest one was 8GB lol) and I don't know what I want to do with all that space, but backing up things that have disappeared from the Internet is a good first choice

I got my own pizza to replace all the pizza I didn't have a chance to eat Monday, so that makes me happy

At some point along the way I seem to have lost the ability to just sorta fall asleep if I stay up too late. Wonder if that's just because I don't tire myself out enough during the day. :p

I'm replaying Hamtaro: Ham Hams Unite on a whim and I really love all the cuteness and how much animation there is, and just the overall cuteness and lightheartedness of a game based around learning a language

At least for today, it's warm enough to walk outside in shorts and there are squirrels scampering about!
