I shall finally have a profile photo on here.
This is from back in June when I went to Pride for the first time and then immediately decided to torture myself by going to the Anti-Pride demonstration and then took a photo outside of the Government's building 🙃

Been more than a month since I last touched some code and more than a year since I touched HTML and I got "id" confused and wrote "index" 😭

Anyhow, new mini-repository: simple distance calculator

Well, looks like my very first project is due for a slight makeover because our ID system is changing (or rather, has already changed but I only now discovered this...), let's see for how long I'll procrastinate before getting to work this time.

Started learning German yesterday.
If someone could please tell me why heute isn't a noun but an adverb I would be very happy.

Well, well, well… looks like a single email can actually achieve something, huh? 😭
Google suddenly adding an “experienced user bypass” to their sideloading verification plan right after public pushback.
This is a massive win for the FOSS community IF it sticks.

OK, I know my first post on here was about starting a project and I haven't touched that one since but I hope I do set and leave my sights on this one.

Hopefully I can finally learn some graph theory while torturing myself with encrypting a database...

This is Bubbles. Her owner has dementia and lets her out and forgets which means everyone on the block is now friends with Bubbles. She was left out on halloween(!!!!) so we hung out with her all evening to make sure she was safe until everything calmed down. Later we carried her home to her porch.

Asked my Romanian teacher for some mint and surprisingly he kept his promise so I introduce to you: mint.
I hope I get it to not die until I get home, though I guess I had the same feae with the thyme.
Put some water in, should be fine for a few hours before I give it some dirt.

OK, Operation "Consensually steal some wild thyme from the high school garden for later use" was a success, let's see if I can get into gardening once I get home without killing these two little branches.

The urge I have to send out some FOIA requests to the STB and our Ministry of Transportation to know why the hell I waited for two consecutive buses that did not come is something very, very tempting.

It seems only recently did autumn get a bit visible and it is pretty late into the year.
Hope it stays that way for a bit more time and the trees don't die quite yet.
Anyways here we have some leaves.

Thinking of starting a new Python project, come along for the journey!
