I am #zettelkasten -ing the *shit* out of my notes. Think lots of little notes that link to each other, rather than big flat files with walls of text. Man, if I'd only known about this in college... #productivity #adhd #obsidian
The author visualizes his Obsidian vault in a graph view. Each dot represents a note file, and each line represents one file linking to another. There are a handful of denser note clusters; these notes describe related topics.

Peanut hanging out with her big brother/grandpa/senpai/cool uncle Pepe as he reluctantly goes along with it. She's obsessed with him but I have no idea why. #cats #pets
Two tabby cats are sitting on the author's bed; Peanut (on the left) is gazing longingly at Pepe (on the right) as he looks away in annoyance.

Okay, I lied. I'm having too much fun streamlining tons of little things. Templater is your favorite deity's gift to humanity. @obsidian.md #productivity #adhd #gtd
A GIF showing an Obsidian window, opened to a template used to generate notes files. The author creates new file in a relevant folder, and the shown template is automatically used. The author enters the name of the person he is meeting with, then it (and today's date) is used to set the filename.

There's nothing like an empty in-tray! I've _finally_ managed to turn an amorphous list of "stuff" into actual next steps! #gtd #adhd #productivity So now I'll start posting silly dev stuff again.
The author's Obsidian canvas, showing the path that abstract ideas take as they are converted into actionable tasks. The author's "in-tray" (list of ideas) is empty after being completely processed.

Not a fan of having #ai imposed on me to make the line go up, but #github #copilot _did_ correctly tell me how to disable it on my feed. Maybe I should keep an open mind? Haven't figured out a good way to use it beyond spicy autocomplete, though. Thoughts?
The author asks GitHub Copilot through the new Copilot bar on his feed: "I don't want the Copilot bar on my feed. How do I disable it?" Copilot responds with the following guidance: To disable the Copilot bar on your GitHub feed, follow these steps: Go to Your GitHub Settings: Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner of any GitHub page. Select Settings from the dropdown menu. Navigate to the Copilot Settings: In the left sidebar, click on Copilot under the Code, planning, and automation section. Disable the Copilot Bar: Find the option related to the Copilot bar and toggle it off. If you don't see the option, it's possible that the feature has been updated or moved. In that case, refer to the GitHub Copilot documentation or contact GitHub support for the latest instructions.

Someone on Discord called me "hi-res Jesse". I deny these allegations, and present this photo as evidence. #emudev #gamedev #selfie #opensource
A screenshot of the author's video camera feed in RetroArch, at a low resolution of 320x240 (upscaled to fit the window). The video is too blurry to determine if the author shaved that morning.

Unfortunately, the fast-forward hotkey doesn't make me go faster. Not for lack of trying. #retroarch #libretro #emudev #gamedev #cameras #dsi #webcam
A screenshot of a camera example in RetroArch. A fast-forward icon is visible, indicating that the author is holding the fast-forward key. He took the photo while moving rapidly, making his appearance blurry.

There we go!
The author poses for a photo taken in RetroArch. He is pointing towards the on-screen display indicating a framerate of 60 FPS, the desired rate.

Working on an #ffmpeg camera driver for #RetroArch, but I've still got room for improvement and #optimization. Remember the cameras for the #dsi, #3ds, #ps2, and #gameboy? I do! #libretro #retrogaming #videogames #camera
The author poses for a photo, pointing at an on-screen text label saying "FPS: 14.87" (the desired rate is 60). The image is incorrectly tinted blue. The author poses for a photo, ducking out of the way of a cube that uses the camera feed as a texture. The image is incorrectly tinted blue.

Today on the #gameindustry Coffee Chat, we're all discussing grit and #resilience. Dealing with #failure, getting back up. (Plenty of that to go around these days.) Wasn't feeling hot this weekend, but this was a helpful reminder.

I was updating my #nvidia GPU drivers, and it somehow broke my active Fluent Terminal sessions...and I can't close it yet because I'm also updating all my stuff with Chocolatey. Maybe it's time to switch?
