Laptop is updated with new stickers after #cyc2025! 💜
The back of a silver laptop covered in stickers. They show my love of Javascript, communities, pets, and words of affirmation. The new stickers are a cute shiba with hexagonal glasses, a bow tie, and a laptop; a frog catching a fly with the text debugging underneath him; and a chicken in a yellow circle with the text free range developers surrounding them.

It was so, so good to see you again! Allow me to add my own selfie with you (and others) to the collection! Can’t wait to see you again. 💜

Today I asked my cards:
- I'm going to go through a task that I know has a high chance to make me feel down on myself. Any advice for getting through it?
- How can I show myself compassion today?
- Anything you want me to share with the world?

These are the cards I drew. My interpretation of them:
Three tarot cards laid out in a row. From left to right: the six of cups, showing a woman buying flowers from a flower cart; the five of cups, showing a woman on the floor crying at some spilled teacups while some upright ones rest behind her; and justice, a judge sitting at a laptop with a dog at her feet and a cape and witch hat hanging on her clothes rack next to her.

My "Play Ball!" Web Dev Challenge hackathon project is live and submitted! 🙌🏼

It stores your selected teams in local storage and shows you when your favs are playing and some recent scores.

I had so much fun with this!

Today's stream was SO much better! Had an idea earlier today, magically remembering it come stream time lol, & got it working!!! Ending up with code that's much more organized & should be easier to maintain.

Forgot about custom hooks in React! Exactly what I needed here.

Last stream of the week! A shorter one today too since I'm going to a meetup later. Doing some more style fixes and brainstorming on the last few steps to v1 of this project.

Blank pages. I have to find a way forward for myself. Trying for the millionth time to figure it out. Persistence is one trait I have to a fault, even as I adjust the paths I try. I will rise up again. I have to.
A dotted page notebook sits opened to two empty pages. To the right lies an open zipped bag filled with colored pens and highlighters.

Stream is live! Continuing to push forward on my news clone in Redwood, getting close to the end! Likely more low-key today, so come hang out, lurk, body double, whatever helps you.

Forgot my picture today, so enjoy a shot of Gizmo from his birthday last month. ❤️

Points are now live, and made a lot more progress than I expected on getting the new user pages started! Even in a frustrated state lol

Still more work to go on the new bit but I'm really pleased w/ myself for figuring out the backend stuff faster than the frontend stuff. 🤣I am learning!
The current view of the new Links Shared page on my project. The text Brazilian Nut News is centered in yellow at the top. Next line shows the email pip@example.com in white and blue text. A small navigation row comes next, with the words Links Shared in yellow and Comments then Profile in blue. Lastly, two links are shown in pink text with black text underneath (not how they'll look in the final product but enough to show that the data fetching worked).

Last scheduled stream of the week! Plan is to wrap up the points functionality and potentially get started on the layout for the last few pages for the app to be "complete". 🤞🏼

Stream time! Gonna attempt to write a basic point counting algorithm for links users share, then potentially explore ways to make it a little more complex. Come hang out, chat, or lurk and enjoy the lo-fi! 💜

Linda's wearing a dusky blue shirt today (you can only see the tip of a ferris wheel design in the frame, but it's a tour t-shirt from the artist Matt Nathanson).

Stream time! Only just realized I've been one day behind in my video titles this week 🤣🤣so fixed it today, it really is Thurs! (I'm pretty sure lol)

Feel free to lurk and enjoy the lo-fi and random ramblings as I work my way through building out the ability to upvote things!

Pip (a tan, black, and white cat with green eyes) giving me her best glare as I snap a photo of her sitting on top of a box lid she's working on tearing apart piece by piece.

Cozy coding Tues edition! Today's goal: be able to at least upvote comments, ideally upvote links as well. Will I make it? Come find out! 😁

Cozy coding stream: Mon edition - debugging failing tests, hopefully getting this PR merged, and starting to think about how votes will work. Going until 6 PM CST, feel free to swing by!

Made some progress! Got the sign up form (mostly) styled, and wrote down where to start next so I remember what still needs cleaning up. lol Mostly it's going to be adjusting some of the fields and making sure the logic still works properly.
A sign up page for a website. On the left side, the word "sign" is solid white and the word "up" is black with a blue outline. The right side shows a form with a username and password field, and big yellow sign up button.
