I put the entire description for the Lampton coat of arms into Sora to see if it could generate a stained glass pattern. Incredible results. Attached are the notarized description, a commissioned drawing we inherited, and the Sora output.

I am creating a new repo on @gitlab.com. Yes, it's because I'm leaving BitBucket -- but why would the *only* option be to manually upload an export? What's wrong with `git push`?

Has anyone found a google docs extension that will allow you to highlight some text, paste a URL, and have that URL become a link around the text? You know, like almost all other modern rich-text editors? Surely this exists by now?

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

A little over a decade ago I was on vacation before a company event. While I was out, @justafish.bsky.social and co-conspirators planned… a companion event.
So I can say confidently that Eatoncon would involve powerpoint karaoke, fake moustaches, and gummi. Because it did. flic.kr/p/bs4APW

TIL: setting form_error() or form_set_error() prevents forms from being rebuilt, so $form_state['rebuild'] is ignored.

Well, Canva may be the most useless piece of design software I've ever used.
Increase font size? Not possible. Ok, change fonts? Nope. Hm. Maybe start from a template for an event flyer? No. ANY flyer at all? Sorry, doesn't exist.
Well then!
