There are some people who I followed at some point, who have either moved onto new accounts or softblocked me so I wasn't following them.

Every time I see them mentioned in my home timeline, I think about refollowing or seeing if I'm still blocked, but then I realize it probably isn't worth the effort...

geocities.co.jp, the last living Geocities service, shuts down in 2020. Here's the timeline, as I understand it:

* March, 2019 - The ability to update existing pages and to create new pages ends.
* September 30, 2019 - All pages are taken offline. Site owners retain the ability to use FTP to download their site contents.
* March 31, 2000 - FTP access for downloading site contents is removed, and all data is deleted.

reevaluate knowledge that seems obvious to you. make sure you have a really good grasp on why you're so certain of the things you're certain of. never stop asking questions. don't be afraid to ask the same question twice if you've forgotten the answer. and for fucksake, don't state opinions as facts

People often wonder why printers are so cantankerous but frankly any device that embeds pigmented runes in the remains of long-dead trees is going to be stricken by an ancient faerie curse from the start

dream, money, - 

Financial security is really, like ... the only thing I haven't ever had in my life. My parents were fairly poor and always in debt when I was growing up, and I was thousands of dollars in debt starting when I was 17. I literally don't know what it is like being debt-free and having a surplus of money, or even just having enough money that you can do almost anything you wanted...

dream,~ 

I just had a dream where I had been given $40000 for some work I had posted online for free. I was in tears in my dream, and I woke up and realized it had made me cry in my sleep because my eyes were wet and stuck shut.

The original code only used this centering function for displaying street names, but hopefully I can rework it so any arbitrary line of large text can be centered. We'll see... ^.^

Writing a function to center text, since the original function won't work with my new text format, or with a variable-width font...

Okay, fixed that. (It was a string I had explicitly skipped before, because I didn't know where it was being used.)

Still lots of work to do before I can move on to something else...

Awesome, rewriting everything that touched SearchDialogDefinitionForA fixed the corruption bug that was crashing games when AI characters said anything! ^w^

... aaaand I immediately found another corruption bug in a dialog window I didn't touch yet. >.<;;;

I don't even know how Konomi's face got corrupted...

This Sunday 1:15 EST at Queerness and Games Conference 2018 I'm going to be giving a talk! It will be called "Making a Programming Language is Surprisingly Easy and Fun" and I will demo creating a scripting language from scratch and adding it to show how easy it can be. There will be streaming but I'm not sure what the URL is yet. qgcon.com/qgcon-2018/talks/mak

I wonder what my sona would look like if she was an Alolan Ninetales... 🦊

I finished fixing all the code that was calling the SearchDialogDefinition function last night, so ... now I have to go back through each dialog box call, and check the surrounding code for any of the old functions I just replaced, and repoint them properly...

... weh. Tedium. x.x;;

Help Rae the Doe: after a recent comic suggested gamers should support the 250 ppl laid off by Telltale, Olive Brinker (Rae's creator) had to deactivate her account because of the subsequent mass harassment by the GooberGrape movement.

If you can, please support Olive on patreon at patreon.com/raethedoe. She does amazing work for the trans community and deserves support during this attack.

re: programming, request 

Just realizing "Thingy view" is basically a custom character set.

Does anybody know of a better free hex editor? I mostly want something stable and easily usable, but also preferably with support for displaying contents using a replacement table (Translhextion calls this feature "Thingy table view", after an old DOS editor called Thingy).

Also, I'm on Windows most of the time, so something that runs on Windows is preferable.

programming, request 

I've been using a hex editor from 2001 (Translhextion 1.6c) for most binary viewing/editing. It's the least buggy/annoying free hex editor I've found for Windows, but it still has some dumb bugs (like moderately small filesize limits, random crash bugs, etc).
