It’s been a while since I last posted, but I’ve been hard at work on dining app stuff!

I got a dbrand skin for my phone, and it looks pretty good! I couldn't actually afford to get the dbrand clear case, but it looks fine in my current case. I would tag dbrand, but they don't seem to have Mastodon :(

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

So about the dining app- RIT’s dining website is the slowest thing ever. It takes legitimately 20-30 seconds to refresh sometimes, which is really annoying when you want to quickly check if a location is open or not before you start walking there, especially because we’ve got a decent number of […]

![Subject: Just a quick thank you for your existence
Hi Daniel,
I was digging around in the credits section of an app (YouTube
on my Xbox, actually), and I saw “libcurl” listed - and your
name came up when I looked into it. I had no idea one person’s
work has helped support so much of the internet I use every
day.
I just wanted to say: thank you. Not just for the code, but
for the spirit behind it. The way you’ve built and shared
libcurl, all these years, quietly powering so much without
expecting credit… it really moved me. Most people never see
that kind of work, but I stumbled across it and it left an
impression.
So this is just a small message to say:
Thank you for existing.

This video existing will only make the problem worse, and is going to spread even more confusion and fear. Do better.
