I currently feel like I know what it's like to try to get a building permit in Pandaemonium.

Been singing a lot of mining songs now. "Blackleg Miner" in particular.

@welshpixie hey, dice.camp fell down and had to be hard-reset, so I'm just gonna follow you from my main, not my games-alt 😁

Why does time pass so slowly when you're waiting for the apple pie to come out of the oven?

I just learned today about the extent to which a project I started as an undergrad has grown, helped indigenous communities worldwide who speak endangered languages, and brought in a lot of grant money to my undergrad advisor's lab (which, knowing him, mostly goes to paying students who work there) over its lifetime.

I'm a little floored. Sometimes, a thing you think is some minor bit of your personal history turns out to have touched many many more people, for the better.

If I am learning anything from this experience, this thing that is 2020, it's that setting reasonable and caring goals for myself, rather than insisting I do ALL THE THINGS, is very good.

I'm trying to remember to post here myself. It's easy to slip into treating this as a consumption medium, and forgetting to contribute!

I think that's been hard to do because life has been:
- Caretaking.
- Pondering the uncertainty of the future.
- Work.
- Anticipating multiple future things to talk about that I can't talk about yet.

It leaves one feeling like one has very little to add, ex nihilo. But I'll try!

my head is aching to beat the band, and a big WHOMP of snow just tumbled down the chimney behind me. today is canceled.

Well TIL that Mastodon doesn't recognize .sh as a TLD, so here: https://sweet.sh

I also, over this past week, made two usability fixes, one API fix to clear the path for an interface improvement, and diagnosed another layout issue that led to a quick fix, all on sweet.sh. Making it better. Still need to grapple with fixing the entire tangled backend code structure, then fixing the API surface to be more Standards-y.

I made some strides on Roughcast this weekend. Nearly wrote "Roughcast made some strides" and thus completely de-agentivized myself. What does this say about how I think about programming projects?
