Great Duke of Hell, Emperor of the Moon, Umbreon. 💜

Queer coder trying to do better things with their skills than just make money.

I like anime, larp, reading, films, and making gunpla.
Hey Windows, if you're going to restart regardless of whether I pick "update and restart" and "update and shutdown", maybe don't give me the option to shutdown...

Amused that I created a separate Bsky account just for my gunpla posts and it immediately picked up more interaction than my main account 😂

Know how I can tell it's summer? I woke up with the sun, spent three hours reading and watching YouTube on my phone and I'm still an hour early to my desk.

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.

yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.

no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

I rewatched Iron Man 3 at the weekend and even before the film was over, I'd pulled Warren Ellis' Extremis run off the shelf and started reading it.

Six issues, a very different Iron Man, but a much better story.

That said, I still love the fake Mandarin.

Things I've worked on this evening: adding a minor display improvement to my system
Things I should have worked on before that: fixing the exploit I found

If no one knows about the exploit, no one can exploit it, right?

(This is not an important system, and the exploit is minor)

I've just released v1.3.0 of a system I've been working on, and it was only when I went to quantify it that I realised I was on v1.3.0...

I probably should have considered semantic versioning sooner to keep track of this, but it didn't seem important then (still isn't really important now).

Second Gunpla kit of the weekend, the RX-78-01[FSD] Gundam FSD.

You know, I should really watch Origin at some point given this is my third kit I've built from it.

I love a dark Gundam, and the gatling gun is a lovely addition. Multiple weapon and shield options really sell the wartime ethos.

Back to Gunpla and I've built the MS-06S Zaku II (Red Comet Version) from Mobile Suit Gundam: the Origin.

So much more detail than the regular Zaku from the Origin line. Not to mention the extra weaponry!

Had to do the decals for Charlie even though I'm not the biggest fan of them in general.

Colleague: you can code drunk?
Me: yeah, watch me

In other news, I've just finished writing and deploying some fixes to my current personal project after an evening of drinking with my colleagues.

Easy. 🤣

Note for self-published authors as I see this a lot...

A horde is a large group of creatures.
A hoard is a pile of treasure.

So I will periodically be confused as to how a pile of treasure has battered in the gates of a fortress.

It's amazing what the combination of a flat inspection and a parental visit will do.

My flat is tidier than it's been in months, the washing up is (mostly) done, the spare room is ready for guests...

And I'm reminded that I have more stuff than I can fit in this flat without it being cluttered.

I'm not sure if it's the stress, depression, or the well-written scene in He Who Fights With Monsters 5, but I'm crying on a train right now.

I think it's a good thing. The book is great, after all. Good media that makes you feel real emotions is hard to find.

Speed Racer is a masterpiece of cinema.
February 4, 2025 at 6:50 PM
I've just stuck in the DVD of Speed Racer and it's shocking how bad the quality of the adverts are.

One for Get Smart, one for the DS game. Both horrible quality. You could see the artifacts without trying.

The film is fine so I don't understand why they made the first things you see awful.
