Nov 17, 2020, 4:08 PM -05:00 I use Piwigo. My gallery: https://photos.desmondrivet.com/ I'm interested in the idea of statically generated galleries but it's unclear to me how this would work if you have GBs of photos. Where would you store the images?

I forget who originally sent me this poem, but I go back to it periodically, and it's hitting particularly hard this week. -

Oct 25, 2020, 6:42 AM -04:00There’s loads of fun interactive fiction games to play at IFComp 2020. We came across IFComp yesterday, via a friend of E’s, and played Saint Simon’s Saw and Stand Up / Stay Silent. -
Oct 24, 2020, 10:44 PM -04:00 Things I Learned In Lockdown
While it's perhaps inaccurate to call the current Covid-19 crisis "unprecedented" (given that the Spanish Flu outbreak in 1918 led to many of the same measures), I think it's reasonable to say that it's unprecedented in my lifetime - and I'm not exactly young.
Accordingly, in these heady times, I don't think it's uncommon to discover a thing or two about yourself. Hell, introspection is almost inevitable, given the circumstances.
In that vein, this is my "Things I Learned In Lockdown" post. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Traffic noise outside my house is really bothering me and making me feel frazzled, so give me recs for soothing music and other things that might help with it, please? 💜 -

Oct 8, 2020, 8:10 AM -04:00 I seriously don't understand the point of the time limits in these debates.

Oct 8, 2020, 8:05 AM -04:00 Does anyone else have a problem with the song "You're So Vain"? The song is not supposed to be about him and yet it's totally about him, right?

Sep 24, 2020, 7:52 PM -04:00 I have just realized that "I'd be down for that" and "I'd be up for that" mean the same thing 😮

Sep 22, 2020, 7:52 PM -04:00 I'm not entirely sure that I am. I've fried thick slices so they develop a crust. The result is tasty enough, but not great.

Sep 11, 2020, 9:03 AM -04:00 Maybe you could just say "hello", but with a French accent :-) I'm only half-joking. If the language you're using doesn't have a word for the concept you wish to express, I sort of feel like you're justified in borrowing a word from another language.

Sep 10, 2020, 10:03 PM -04:00 TIL about chicken pudding, a dessert popular in Turkey, made with milk, sugar, vanilla...and actual shredded chicken breast.

Sep 8, 2020, 11:10 PM -04:00 It's funny how I can suspend my disbelief about most things in movies or on TV except when people in restaurants order "a beer" or "a whiskey". People never do this! They're always more specific.

Sep 6, 2020, 3:36 PM -04:00A home on the web
My personal site is a repository for my memories, experiences, feelings, recipes, tips, photos, and more. […] it is an ever-growing extension of myself that I have total control over, my mirror and memory aid. I want to be able to look back at this when I’m eighty and thank my past self for surfacing things that I otherwise would have forgotten. – On personal sites, and adios analytics — Piper Haywood Hmm, reading this and also Amy Hoy’s post recently (How the Blog Broke the Web) is making me...
