    I mentioned this years ago but my main source of information for non-obvious Win32 arcana is the ReactOS and Wine source code, not MSDN docs or even the Windows Internals books.

    If Microsoft keeps adding these WSL improvements, then at some point Windows will become the only “Linux distribution” that works well on *any* laptop. 😃 https://twitter.com/chuniversiteit/status/1262780322745286658?s=21

    Remotely helping a friend's parent with a WiFi issue and realizing that people probably buy new routers because they want to change their password.

    Weirdly, before the change the hover link preview in safari was the real domain, but now it's a link. It was a link both before and after in Firefox. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Just realized my website in my bio didn't work for who knows how long, removed https and now it works? Not sure if it's the pages hosting or some weird twitter redirect issue.

    I'm trying to get in the practice of writing down the simple reusable apps that I make and often remix on when starting new projects. Did my best to document my AWS S3 upload app here:

    A part of my brain expects lots of snow on the ground whenever I look out the window.

    In 2019 I hastily replaced the Vue portfolio and blog with a server rendered version I think with ? This was still all powered by the API, and was still hard to update, my CMS was essentially my history.

    In 2018 I wanted to learn so I replaced the portfolio site and the blog from 2016 and 2017 with new more appy versions that talked to the API from 2017. I was never satisfied with the routing I was able to get trying to slap SSR on at the end. It was still hard to update.

    In 2017 I realized I had spent too much time doing database-y things for this one app, so thought I should make an API for myself that I could connect things to. I made a totally custom JS frontend for a "blog" and linked the chatbot and the API from a landing page, confusing!

    In 2016 I decided I needed an actual portfolio and spent a long time designing a Jade/Pug site with a totally custom "CMS" that stored things in . It seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

    In 2015 I decided my website should be a chatbot, which kind of worked. It was the first thing I ever did in , but it was way too complicated of an idea and it was pretty much impossible to add new content. I don't think I really understood why people used CMSes.

    It started in 2013 with a website that was the first thing I made more complicated than html/css pages, or wordpress design changes. Django in 2013 was so much less confusing than Rails for someone that didn't really know what they were doing.

    I've re-done this site pretty much every year since 2013 (and been through 3 TLDs). This is the first time where I feel like I can easily add things and make design changes.

    Over the years I realized I needed the site to be as easy as possible to update, which it never has been until now. With I can run it as easily on as anywhere else, and I can host for free and deploy automatically with pages/actions. It's amazing.

    Was reading Uncanny Valley and felt called out from having "High Fives" as my top skill on , but now I have hit this existential dilemma:
