š Seriously – Iām really churning through books. This one was short and for good reason. Itās an excellent book of information and strategies for ADHD adults. I often feel like Iām non-neurotypical despite not having a diagnosis of everything. Thereās definitely stuff I relate to in here and definitely some great tips and strategies!

Iām fascinated by international parcel tracking.
UPS have a parcel for me that left Philadelphia at 11:08 this morning. And itās scheduled for delivery by 10:30 tomorrow morning.
Itās probably got to get to a UK airport, then to a distribution centre, then to the local delivery hub, and then out for delivery.
Race on!!

š Weird how Iām reading so many books all of a sudden.
Blake Crouchās Recursion was fun, though too long and ended with a whimper.
My notes contain mild spoilers, but probably nothing you couldnāt figure out from the blurb.
Wellā¦ here goes the next few weeks of my lifeā¦
š± I am sort-of liking the new Reeder app. Iām missing either integration with Feedbin or an email-to-RSS feature.
I had a new friend outside the garden office today! š¦
I know the response to the Minecraft Movie trailer has not been 100% positive, but it turns out that the music on it (and the sung parts) are by an acquaintance of mine!
Thatās quite a gig!!!
I still thinkā¦ if you work in an environment where there is code review, you need to give the reviewer as MUCH information as you possibly can.
This might be in the code.
It might be in comments.
It might be in the pull request.
It might be in coding standards.
But I want context, descriptions, explaniers, and typehints.
And use tooling and standards to minimise questions.
Because writing questions well is effort!!
Oh heaven help my. New colleagues. I basically canāt review code without type information. My brain can not do it. And I have so many opinions about how you should write and structure code.
Iām kind and many comments are phrased as questions or marked as optional/style/nitpick. But even so. Itās got to be rough! š¬
There was a "paint fest" in my town this weekend with some amazing street art going up in my little bit of it!
What does this mean:
āCompared to human drivers, Waymo recorded 100% fewer injury claimsā.
Soā¦ is that zero?
I note that this would be a good Cards Against Humanity card:
āThanks to the power of Facebook and some lovely members of the community, we have finally found __________.ā
There seemed to be a bit of a something going down in a Costa Cafe this afternoon. So I popped in to Facebook (a rare occurrence!) to check the local community notice board.
Nothing. So I searched for āCostaā in the group and the first result saidā¦
āThanks to the power of Facebook and some lovely members of staff at Costaā¦
ā¦the teeth have been found!ā
Which is great for the owner of the teeth. But also made me laugh out loud. Not what I was expecting.
No. No. No no no. NO!!!
Itās AUGUST!!!!!
My kid today: "Whereās my <I didn't _quite_ hear this bit>?ā
Me: Did you just ask where your butt-hole is?
Kid: No, my BOTTLE!! My water bottle!!

Intresting take: "Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships."

Back on the baking train! This one totally over-proved. But looks like a proper rustic sourdough!!
I had this stupid idea to run a blog thatās notes from a future web developer.
āArgh. Had to reboot my neural interface this morning. Some things donāt change. Come on, people. Itās 2039, can we make reliable hardware yet?
At least my Brother printer still works. That things been going strong since, what, 2024?
Anyway, played with SkyDrop again. Neat tech. Sits on top of Zode.ds in the view stack and helps map stuff into the Visual Object Model (VOM).
Wonder what I can make?ā
OK. I wasnāt sure what was going on at first, but this is the future!!
