Ok, React Native is getting kind of poetic with its errors now.

I spent some time adding a feature to my website/ blog that I've been wanting for months: an easy way to add photo gallery content to blog posts.

This, of course, comes with a new post that makes uses of the new gallery embed: https://emorydunn.com/blog/2019/02/10/laydown-test-with-victoria-lau/

@ktamas React Native indeed.

I’m not an expert, so I can’t be entirely certain, but I have believe something might have, in some small way, gone horribly wrong.

The other day a friend was talking about how they wished they had a way to brew more than a single cup of tea at a time and they were reminded “tea pots” exist.

I realized I had the same problem, so now I’m brewing a growler of tea.

I haven't updated this project in a while, but I just pushed a new version of my Swift library for interacting with launchd.

While batch applying some settings I copied a burn mask to a photo without the subject and ended up with a virtually dusty floor.

Related: nobody should be allowed to move mid-month. My spreadsheets for rent and utilities does not handle prorating very well.

Nothing like spending Sunday reconciling rent payments.

I spent yesterday falling down a rabbit hole by asking "I wonder if there's any open source invoicing software?"

Turns out: there is, I can self-host it, and now I can accept Apple Pay from clients!

Found a new udon recipe today. It’s easy to make and delicious, I just had to make one note.

It goes without saying, but:

Fuck DRM.

I'm guessing the real culprit is DisplayPort, which is silly, because why would you use HDMI on a Desktop monitor?

Apparently I can’t watch Amazon Prime video over an Amazon Basics cable.

@gendertreyf There's some merit to thinness, but there's a limit. I'm certainly not the first to say it, but if there's diversity in the lineup, then make a laptop you can put in your pocket and one that is a desktop with impostor syndrome.

Speaking of displays, I wish Apple would offer a matte display on their laptops again.

@gendertreyf Maybe the emperor just wants to show off how thin he is? 😂

Why did I think trying to write my own command line table view was a good idea?
No part of that was a good idea.

We just got issued walkie-talkies at work, because the efficiency guy thinks garbled radio communication is going to be more efficient than a text message. Frankly I think pagers would have been more fun.
