Arranging atoms and pressurising air in a variety of manners, such as:

Pronouns: they/he

  2. ↪ : Indieweb

    @tgb nice article — you absolutely are a creator! You’ve set up your own site, made it your online identity with rel-me, set up POSSE and indieweb comments. Glad to know that could help you, looking forward to seeing what you make next! See you at an indiewebcamp soon, hopefully :)

  6. If you’re using pika as a client and are getting “ConnectionClosed” exceptions, test or look very carefully through the code being executed — it is probably not a pika or rabbitmq issue but some other exception.

    E.G. I just spent half an hour tearing apart pika connection handling code when it turns out the exceptions were caused by passing a dict rather than an instance of template.Context to template.render().

  9. More dream-weirdness: text-only dreams. As in, the stuff that’s happening isn’t experienced visually/physically, but instead feels as if I’m reading it in a book. Is this dreaming the dream in text-form, or dreaming that I’m reading?

  14. So here’s a challenge for anyone who claims to be able to read meaning into dreams:

    Walking back to my apartment. Go in, it smells of smoke — turns out a hob was left on, and burnt some food. I turn it off. To get rid of the smell, I open a bunch of windows. They all have different window-opening devices, which all have short phrases written on — from inspirational quotes to adverts.

    To be clear, the whole “house is on fire” thing was a minor part — the main focus was the window handles. Does this have some profound meaning?

  15. I really think that’s part of the fun of — there’s no in-game pedagogy so you have to figure out what to do by trial, error, internet research, reading wiki/forum pages. It’s an interesting sort of game experience, very messy with unclear boundaries. Fun!

  19. ↪ bruce lawson: .. correction; Opera 21 shows domain + path by default, hides protocol and query strings. (On feedback, we added setting to show full URL).

    @brucel that sounds like a good balance between informing the user and visual noise — should also help discourage the use of query string parameters in permalink design too, hopefully.

  20. Finally landed on the mün manually in ! Here’s my little kerbal looking relieved to be out of the lander at last. It’s a good thing they don’t need anything to eat — it might be a while before I can fly a more substantial base out there.

    A kerbal stands proudly on the moon next to a small, three-legged lander. In the background is Kerbin, set against the milky way.
