I've been maintaining a spreadsheet for personal use of Bay Area campgrounds accessible via public transit, and figured I'd put it on GitHub just for kicks: https://github.com/mouse-reeve/campgrounds/blob/main/campgrounds.csv

Over the last decade, I've made three major attempts to write programming languages for producing random text. Here's the first: Matzo, a simple dynamically typed language for random strings, which I've reimplemented somewhat more cleanly and released today: https://github.com/aisamanra/matzo

So we watched "The Color Out of Space" and the thing is, it actually opens with a shot of the color of sunlight through trees, and I was just like… well damn, that's it then. It's a color and it's from outer space. We could just stop right there

A frustrating thing is that Android has an *extremely* complex and elaborate volume system, with three separate volume bars plus a separate notifications on / notifications off system, yet as far as I can tell it has never been possible to put it into the one, single mode I really want: nothing should be allowed to make noise EXCEPT if I get a phone call, since I get notifications all the time but nobody calls me on the phone unless it's actually incredibly urgent

Thinking the advantage of IRC over Mastodon is that when IRC had a netsplit you got that tide of "** Server X has disconnected ** Server Y has disconnected" messages, but when Mastodon has a netsplit it just looks like nobody is posting. Netsplits on 90s IRC had a kind of a festive air, like watching ocean waves crest. Like oh, whoops, there goes New Brunswick. Oh, now it's back again
