Most of the second half of my Moment order is on the way, FINALLY. Cannot wait to snap some pics and film stuff.
Had two intro interviews today, have one next week, and another one sometime this month. I also randomly remembered a quote from my good friend Reginé Gilbert: Rejection is protection plus redirection.
I've been applying for several roles as of late and last week started to feel down on myself because of the constant rejections. This didn't bother me earlier in my career because I literally knew nothing and was throwing my resume at every role that seemed interesting.
Applications ask for a portfolio, LinkedIn, and Github. In the age of AI-enhanced/-embellished resumes, I've decided I don't care enough to pander.

Realized last night that my perfectionism is a hindrance and I should figure out how to MVP my many ideas to get them out of my head and into the world sooner.
Finally posted to my personal blog for the first time in 8 months (to the day). WTF

It's so annoying how there's no API access for personal use for Bandcamp, Farcaster, LinkedIn, and a myriad of other sites I have accounts on. The Mastodon API is weird but I learned I could just add ".json" to my account URL and just query that instead.
It’s that time of year again! My son’s Cub Scout troop is raising money for fun activities. Please use this link to support if you’re able.

I find that it's difficult for me to read in dark mode. The white text on dark backgrounds looks fuzzy/glowy and frustrated, I just do something else. Just now, I decided to just disable dark mode. DUH
I do have Night Shift turned on allllll the way to yellow and this is much more pleasant for night time reading.

A number of things have been happening in my life at once and it seems like I'm being tested on several levels. Because this is all happening at the same time, it feels like I'm on the cusp of some change.
This perspective shift dissipated my anger and strengthened my resolve. Taking a step back to observe your situations objectively works every time.

This is why I keep all my old notes, lyrics, whatever. The number of times past Wibby inspired the present is innumerable.
If I were to start my career over again, I'd be an interface designer. I'm often inspired by anime and sci-fi films that seek to create new computing paradigms and give humans real-world reasons why some funky design works in that world.
This is something I made back in 2011/2012, inspired by some Gundam show (idk the year, Dribbble refuses to surface this information).

I've spent the last few years building on a blockchain that is fair and secure and has a decent shot at being the dominant alt-root zone of the entire internet...it bothers me that I'm going to stop working on it.
The discussion around the V2 hard fork proposal has been contentious but recently, a community call ended with one of the co-founders of Handshake pledging to not steamroll his proposal into production and he'd give up ownership of the official Twitter account and website.
I have credible reasons to believe this steamroll will occur regardless. Millions of locked tokens will be re-allocated with a majority going to him and his friends, bootstrap a new business (to the tune of $9m) to entice influencers to talk about Handshake (this is not a joke), with the rest given to the community.
I cannot in good conscience support this change in direction.
Gonna spend a few days to plan next steps. My next devlog will go into more detail. All this work I've done isn't going to waste, a fork will come.

Late night coding while listening to tunes I kept on repeat in my broke and struggling days made me think of my younger self. Idealistic af, massive dreamer, and steadfast in his goal to be in a better position to make his dreams come true.
I'm proud of him...he came a long way.

The end of 2024 is in four months...what are you working towards?
I’m in Kiosk now, nvm LOL
I'm gonna end up building a client, I just know it.
Neat, found myself on someone's blog! https://beepb00p.xyz/sad-infra.html
I do be ranting tho
The hardest thing someone can do is launch an incredibly viral thing and intentionally not have a terrier presence
Rust is so confusing to a JS/TS person like me. Idk wtf I'm doing but I managed to figure out how to create a sidecar in Tauri so I can run embedded executables within my application...I figured out how to close my app!
I just wish the JS APIs were as capable as the Rust ones. I did the sidecar stuff in JS first and then was surprised when I couldn't use npm modules to find the PID of the running process and kill it, because those use Node APIs that aren't available in browser environments like Tauri's front-end.
PHEW/SIGH

Currently fighting with Tauri, trying to make sense of their V2 beta docs for a tray app. Digging into node_modules to figure it out myself.
