Mostly just a weirdo queer increasingly late-30s academic-y Goblin who is quite fond of OpenBSD, Lisp and drawing weird Pokémon. 🏳️‍⚧️

🌉 bridged from https://crispsandwi.ch/@goblin on the fediverse by https://fed.brid.gy/
Got the new issue of @2600 and delighted to see Maysara's article published in it. Couldn't be prouder of my former student. :-D

(and yay... those old copies of 2600 I'd give him clearly didn't go straight to the bin ;3)

Having worn glasses every day since I was 13... my eyes have apparently fixed themselves and I don't need them anymore 25ish years later, says the optician.

How am I heading into my 40s and yet somehow getting healthier?

Computer Scientists who proudly say "well I can't program..." genuinely freak me out.

Like... my 8 year old kid can program. We all work in a building teaching people how to program. Yet you're somehow proud that you can't?

I dunno it feels like being an author who can't read to me.

So I have this student…

For their masters thesis they are going to attempt to port as many features from “modern” text editors into #ed(1) as possible… and see which make sense when applied to the standard text editors.

This makes me so cross because its a 30min drive and you can literally see Bristol from Caerdydd across the bay. You can get to London on the otherside of England in an hour fifteen.
