Corporate web dev by day, indie dev by night
I've made good progress on my indieweb website!

Check it out: justjimmy.net

I had a lot of fun with this, especially the rainbow theme. I still need to add some polish and more indieweb stuff, but it's a start. It has my whole life story. And it has a guestbook!

A quirky thing about supermarkets in Japan is that they sell certain fruits and veggies, like bananas, on a "per unit" basis, and not by weight.

Most of these bags have 3 bananas, some have 4, rarely 5!

So we end up spending a few minutes to find the best value; the 4-bag with the biggest ones 😂

"The economics of AI are grounded in the idea that you can [completely] replace labor"
-Cory Doctorow

As a software dev, I use LLMs for my work, and it's great. But I need to scrutinize its output and find/fix all of the mistakes it makes. It can't fully do my job. And that's why this is a bubble.

Long ago, I promised my kids we'd build a PC for their 8th birthday.

My youngest turns 8 in a few months, but I worry about even being able to get parts then. Scrambled to figure out the build today after looking at current prices. Crazy to spend so much for an 8 year old, but it's for me, too.

Moving all of my infrastructure off of AWS, Vercel and other middlemen to self hosting on a VPS. Going 100% EU, not just for GDPR compliance, but also because lately, it feels very compelling to get away from US tech companies.

Should be fun!

I just wanted to change how resources work in my game. Which meant I needed to make a small adjustment to the game AI. One thing led to another, and before I knew it, I was on a 4-week programming version of that meme of Hal from MITM changing a lightbulb.

Started a new game project 1 week ago: An insect colony sim.
Have made crazy progress in that time - I know it doesn't look like much, but there is a complex GOAP AI system driving these worker insects to gather food & water.

Next: The hive needs a queen! 👑

oh hey that thing we said was a bad idea is a bad idea
Microsoft Recall screenshots credit cards and Social Security numbers, even with the "sensitive information" filter enabled
Despite promising to filter personal data out, Recall still captures it.
