worldcon glasgow had a registered tartan created for the event called "landing zone glasgow". unfortunately, they sold out of the first weaving before i could order.

i found out a few days ago that they are taking preorders for a second weaving. this is amazingly great news! a vest is in my future!

One of the things I've learned to do in my prints, when I have two parts that will be joined together, is create a directional key and matching key holes in each part. The holes should be half the depth of the key. The key and holes should fit together in one direction only. I can't count the number of times I've glued two parts together that were slightly askew, or backwards, or...

another notice of a data breach exposing my data... at this point i wonder how many systems are left that haven't been breached...

how far back in chat/comments, etc. is too far back to fix your grammar and spelling errors? i'm finding that the horizon seems to be "as far back as i happen to notice them"... 馃槵

I just released v2.3.0 of Ktistec.聽 It fixes a few bugs introduced in the previous release. In particular, it handles a case I've observed a few times in production where the fetching of followed content hangs. The fix adds a monitor that periodically checks for "running" tasks without a backing fiber and sets socket timeouts to ensure requests eventually terminate (I believe the latter actually fixes the problem, but belts and suspenders...)

i've been listening to my collection of mid-90s mod and demoscene files. here's one of my favorites from ~1995 that really demonstrates what was possible with that format:

i also find it amazing how too many hours of looney tunes as a kid left residual traces in my programming鈥攊 can almost visually "follow along" with the action...
