ShuffleDuck (little game I built this weekend) is very silly ridiculously competitive. š¤£
I've styled it now too – bit of a TaskMaster theme.
It's pass-and-play. Just hold the red button for power, release your duck, and annoy your friend!

I canāt be bothered with drama. I occupied myself with fun.
This stupid pass-and-play game is an homage to Season 12 Episode 9 of Taskmaster.

Iāll style it better at some point but in the meantime timeā¦
SHUFFLE DUCK!!
We have started naming the rest of the Whole Family. Itās not as easy as we thought.
The dad is Douglas Alexander Whole
The mum is Chiara Whole (Chi for short)
The daughter is Philippa Whole
There is a cousin who married into the Black family and double-barreled their name too.
Here are some emojisā¦

I want to make a stupid new web game.
What shall it be?
Oooh, the TaskMaster shuffle-board thing!!!
Let's seeā¦
Made an accidental good joke today while intending to make a bad one.
My wife was sarcastically reading that āThis delicious vegetarian recipe is great for the whole familyā
Me: Is that Mr and Mrs Whole and their children?
Wife: š¤Ø
Me: donāt they have a daughter called Philippa?
Wife: š¤Ø
Me: like āPipā. āPip holeā. āPiip holeā⦠āPeep hole?ā
Wife: Oh. I thought you meant āFill-up-a hole!ā
šš
I read this headline to my wife and she said āIs that a cryptic crossword clue?ā š

I bought 9 CDs today. Yes. CDs.
Why?
Because in my new office I found a reasonably good speaker with an iPod dock.
And then I remembered I had an old iPod lying around.
And you can still sync music to it.
But only music you own. None of the DRMād streaming stuff.
So I've bought a bunch of pre-loved CDs that I intend to rip and copy to my iPod.
Living the dream!
Might buy a BluRay player next and update my old DVD collection!
I am very curious about how "Pinkaryā – the social network that seems to mostly be Laravel folks – handles data protection, disputes, DMCA takedowns, spam, and moderation. Is it just based on the idea that everyone is nice and we have a Re:CAPTCHA?
(Yes I know it's open source and I could go looking)
Is anyone using the Git client āRetConā?
Looks very interesting, but also potentially dangerous if it messes up.
Has anyone done any research on the relative energy consumption of training generative AI models vs all the teenagers sending each other zillions of meme images and videos all day long?
This is old from @jessitron , and I only just read it, but it is poignant.

This is wild if you make it be crazy. But itās also wild if you point it (Googleās NotebookLM) at a real website and ask for the voice summary. I got a really nice 5 minute podcast all about me out of my blog. It made me really happy!! (YMMV)

I discovered something yesterday that I could swear was not true.
Neither PHPStorm not PHPStan on strict level 9 ensure that types are correct during simple assignment.
Like:
/** @var string $thing */
$thing = [];
gives NO ERRORS!!!!!
WHAT?!
It only works for class properties and constants?
Wow. I must have known, but I feel like I never knew.
š Oh my actual goodness! Never!! It canāt be!!!
WhatsApp FINALLY made a MacOS App in Apple Silicon!

Are there any cap (hat) aficionados here? I want:
– A ātrucker-styleā cap.
– That doesnāt show sweat stains much (or washes them out)
– Thatās cool and vented
– That isnāt too tall and doesnāt make my already-tall head look stupidly tall.
Recommendations?
Iām listening to the Vergecast talk about AirPods.
Can someone convince me that these things donāt feel like theyāre always on the verge of falling out of your ears?
Because I had the wired buds and no matter how I wore them they always felt like the weee on the verge of falling out of my ears. And it was just really distracting!!
More for puzzlers… today I discovered the āBlackBox" game on iOS. Like an escape room on your phone.
A really neat puzzle game. Worth doing the free stuff at least, if you've not already done so.
Iāve always been a frustrated cryptic corssworder. I really want to get good but never have.
This week I discovered the daily Minute Cryptic, and itās a really good way to get learning with good explainers and not the frustration of an entire puzzle to do.
Oh come on. My SonyEricsson K750i had this five years earlier than that!!!
