Sometimes I have a fragment of a thought about something. Like my mind has a point to make, or I just have the idea for something slightly poetical or writing-y.
Good night

I wish you well.
Thinking about the simple layout
I think it's kinda funny that I am motivated to make this alternate version, but not to actually write posts.
2 Opera 8 quirks with the simple layout
I was testing this with Opera 8. I wasn't sure which version the DSi browser was built on (my target when making this layout), so I just went for the lowest one, and a bit lower to be safe: Opera 8.

I am frustrated about being frustrated about this many things.
I'm frustrated about how many days I've spent feeling frustrated. I could have spent that time talking with my good friend, or taking a walk through neighborhood, or creating pieces of stunning, incredible art.
While thinking of all the reasons that make me frustrated, I started to get frustrated... funny how that stuff works out.

Website snowstorm effect
For the holidays, I added a simple snowing effect.
I'm joining Bookwyrm 📖
I said I've been getting back into reading books. Now I'm on Bookwyrm, so you can keep up with what I'm reading, because I keep being lazy about writing posts for them. 🙏
Christmas
Hope it was a good one. I know mine was. ❤️
Reading this month
I've been reading a bit every day this month, so I'll be blogging each week about the books. I'll say more in the first week's article, but I try to find books I've never heard of and seem interesting when I'm at the library.
Wanna cut down on phone usage? Try a smartwatch!
Buy an expensive companion for your phone, and that'll lead you to use your phone less? It sounds like an oxymoron. But after over a month of using my Google Pixel Watch, it seems to be true!
Will people glorify the current internet in 20 years?
For the last few years, there's been low-stakes movements to rediscover the aesthetics and values that composed of the Web 1.0 era internet - that is, from the 90s to the early/mid 2000s.

That’s the promise: you will live more curiously if you write. You will become a scientist, if not of the natural world than of whatever world you care about. More of that world will pop alive. You will see more when you look at it.

I wanted to write another daily note. (I've been meaning to.)

November is upon us! Did you have a good Halloween? And are you aware that Spooking Out, the 2010 Roblox game by me and a friend, is now a year old (give or take a few days)?
Cold nights in Florida
I thought to write something about this because someone on Mastodon noted it in a post: the nights in Florida are growing cold. He wrote a thread that I'd like to share, about a change in pace for the place I live.
Writing without smarts
I'm not (currently) a full-on writer in my eyes, but I still write a lot of blog posts, and essays in school. I've noticed I use writing apps that come without any "smart" features like spell check, auto correct, etc. But is it really a good thing to have?
CLICK TO TEN
Can you do it? Click to Ten is a game I found on my friend's Steam profile - he only had 1 minute of playtime, yet he told me he beat it! How can that be? Is it really that easy to click to ten?
Where are the daily notes?
Short answer: I've been spending my time working on Micrathena!
I need to blog more
I have a lot of ideas for daily notes while my blog is collecting dust. Why? I think it comes down to being too lazy for the detail I want to put into blog posts - which ends up leaving my blog not having any blog posts. I really just need to lower my standards and write.
Thoughts on corru.observer (it's very cool)
corru.observer is a very strange website. It's an interactive story that's part 3D game, part visual novel, part website. Hypertext fiction at its finest.
Octoprint is very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Setting up a remote control / web UI for my 3D printer was a game changer, I regret doing this sooner. Give OctoPrint a try!

I've been working on textarea.site as a way to dive back into the beautiful and the ugly parts of front-end web development. After a few days of work, I decided to rewrite the entire project in Svelte. Surprising? Maybe not. It's about the right tool for the job, and here, React is not it.

Day 3 of September. Things are going OK for me, I just wanted to write down here what I'm aiming for this month. Right now, I'm focusing on college applications and web development projects, so Roblox stuff will keep taking a back seat.
Jailbreaking a Kindle Voyage and installing KOReader
I love my 2014 Kindle Voyage, actively been using it for almost 10 years now. But after finding out update support ended a while ago, why not finally jailbreak it and install more open and featureful e-reader software?
Installing the latest Ruby with rbenv on Debian
I decided to switch from running Ruby natively on Windows to WSL, because Ruby on Windows is pretty bad. Installing the rbenv tool to manage multiple versions of Ruby is simple, but in order to add (by compiling) a Ruby version, there are a few dependencies to install.
