I’ve never done any real Python GUI stuff. I guess I should learn PyQt6. The library I tried a while back is no longer supported/around. #programming #gui #python

What is your favorite rock? (No precious gems allowed). I lean toward malachite. #geology

When I was a kid, there was something called “Rock of the Month Club” where you got a rock/semi-gem each month. It got me into geology and was fun. A quick search shows it still exists (or a variant of it.) Actually, there were a bunch of fun “__ of the Month Club”s you could sign up for. #geology

I guess this is no longer supported: www.viwizard.com/ibook-cop… I’d love to use something other than Kindle/Apple Books to read books. Yes, there are other readers, but they don’t let you purchase books DRM-free for personal use. #books #drm #failure #mac #amazon #kobo

Safari keeps trying to send me to MacRuby, via autocomplete. for some reason. MacRuby hasn’t existed in decades, I think. #safari #ruby #programming

The Gathering: One of Mote’s kittens (now a grown cat) has discovered the clothes dryer. No, I can’t tell which one it is. It’s probably Byte or Gremlin–the one’s I can’t distinguish. I had to pull it out a couple of times while loading laundry. #feral #cat

I wonder if I could use this on a Chromebook. www.haiku-os.org #beos #haiku #programming

I’ve come to the realization that the hardest habit to break is your handwriting/printing. I’m trying to be more readable/consistent in printing. Even just relearning how to form the letter A is a chore since I find myself slipping back into my normal mess. #handwriting #printing

Books aren’t meant to be written. That’s why so many people write them. Books are meant to be read, which is why so few actually read now. #books #reading

It’s been too long. I haven’t thanked you for putting up with me, following and interacting with me, and for buying my books (even if you don’t read them). Thank you. You know I’m weird. That’s ok. I know I’m weird too. Seriously, thank you.

More editing done. Not much progress cutting words. I need to get ruthless this week, or maybe carolless. #writing #editing

Hello. Drink more water. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Does a movie/book have to have a deep meaning/theme in order to be good? #book #movie

Premise: Someone speaking in tongues and performing acts of witchcraft was just a time-traveler and just a fish out of water. #time #writing
