Our Chrismas mugs come in 100ml and 500ml varieties... so after downing only two cups of coffee I am now ready to steamroll straight through to the end of 2024!

Just broke up with four domain names (from a pool of many, many more) for projects that never saw the light of day. Feeling very Marie Kondo now.

How many times have I spent half the CSS budget just to make checkboxes not look like crap, you ask?

Yes.

Accidentally stumbled upon a really good way to annoy somebody.

I had an old wireless keyboard tucked away in the corner of my home office. My wife put some storage boxes on top of it, inadvertently turning it on and depressing a bunch of keys.

I didn't know about this.

What I -did- know, is that I was trying to login my windows machine and all I got was a non-stop flow of ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● (ad infinitum) making it impossible to enter my password or do anything else.

Fun! 😈

My daughter is learning for her biology test and every time she mutters the word conditioning I ring this tiny little bell I have on my desk and yes my kids hate me why do you ask?

A lot of you will recognize these specific version numbers and think I am being (a) late to the show and (b) silly (which frankly I am), but as someone who juggles a lot of different environments this kind of versioning puts a rain cloud over my soul. 😢

I seem to be spending a remarkably large part of my adult life writing code that flips images wrong.

Definitely living up to my full potential here.

Ieder jaar collecteer ik met mijn dochter voor Het Gehandicapte Kind. Wil je nou ook iets geven voor dit mooie doel? Hier rammelt onze bus ook digitaal! 😄 ❤

No you just spent 5 minutes adding a favicon to an internal prototype.

Yes that's a robot with a headset. For reasons.

At my daughter's school they are using a math approach that is Graphing First. Use smaller and smaller deltas, calculate those using the graphic calculator, and then... then they finally get introduced the concept of a derivative.

As someone who grasped these concepts the other way around (algebra/calculus first, everything else felt fluffy) this is driving me slightly bonkers. 😄

Me: "Yeah, I am pretty experienced with graphics coding, let me implement that bit for you"

Also me: Fumbles around for an hour trying to crop-and-center a video screenshot to a thumbnail with a different aspect ratio.

Working remotely on a camera app through RDP, and now somebody turned off the lights in the office (it's the weekend after all) so now all I get is a sea of (0, 0, 0).

Trying to see if I can activate the physical screens so they will light up the room a bit. 😅

Remixing a little image recognition plaything based on TensorFlow.js for a museum, and there is no visual output yet but I can tell it's working because my PC fans spin up to full throttle when I press the right buttons in the interface.

Not even kidding, it's a very convenient non-visual debugging indicator.

One my the great joys in my life is that googling "google play console" yields a link to the signup page of the google page console.

You know, that thing you need to do once (sign up), in stead of the thing you need to a gazillion times (log in).

And as my default google account is linked to a defunct google play account, that signup page shows nothing but a dead end, with no way to switch accounts.

Cool stuff.

Me: "haha, users can be so dumb, they don't even read the on-screen instructions right in front of them"

Also me: [uploads all purchase invoices into the sales folder of the accounting firm]

"Hey, everybody seems to be receiving all data from all devices, can you take a look?"

No, that can't be right, why would that... wait... what's this code?

F*ck whoever added that smug smiley at the end (narrator: it was him; he did this to himself)

Ever thought "Ouch, I need to support user cancel in a complicated flow? Wait, I'll hack it in using using an exception"?

Well, so did Microsoft . Sure is fun to do undocumented (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity-platform/reference-error-codes) string searches inside exception messages to handle ordinary user flow.
