Many, many years ago, a new specification called "XML" emerged. After a bit, people realized it was kinda useful for some stuff.

Then, something happened.

MANAGERS!

I imagine many conversations between managers / developers somewhat like this:

M: "So, what is the nice thing with #XML

D: "oh, it is a specification that simplifies stuff, since tools have a clean format to work with."

M: "So, what kinda specifications?"

D: "Oh, it can be more or less anything."

M: *starry eyed!* "an.. an... anything?"

I was teaching computer courses for companies at that point. Suddenly, my calendar was just packed with XML courses.

It is like very limited what you can teach, it is not really complex, so you talk surrounding technologies. But not...

"Our boss wants us to replace the SQL db with XML?"

"what?"

"We gonna use XML instead of MS SQL"

"... what?"

"He said XML can be used for anything..."

If you think companies with #AI plans have actual plans, with a strategy make sense, please think of this story.

Been looking around for this laptop for ages, now I finally can get up to nonsense since I managed to also find a null modem cable. I just love this thing (it's a Toshiba Satellite 100CS, I'll probably take proper pictures eventually :P)

fancy buttons.

Expression on the left is truly how I feel about inking and colouring.

Today is the day!

I almost just forgot to put on a skirt before writing Rust code one fucking moment

well. I say that’s a textwall, but it wouldn’t even compare to what I have to say about object-oriented programming and the abuse of inheritance. maybe I should port that here from my blog (that no longer exists) just for the sake of having it to point to again

been reading about hypermedia systems after a friend sent me the linked book, realised how much I agree with the stuff they say.

I was ranting about how annoying single-page applications that don’t have unique urls for subpages are, how you can’t middle click to open new tabs, etc. not three days ago. I hope I never end up making anything like that, lmao. you should be able to bookmark any page of content and get back to more or less the same page by entering that same URL, this is quite literally part of what the internet was founded on

now obviously the book goes a LOT more in-depth than I’m saying here and actually provides a solution, but it’s just funny to me how much of an issue SPAs are when used in places they shouldn’t be. Like help pages for example, cough cough. like PLEASE let me link help pages directly.

also apologies about the textwall but I need to blogpost once in a while

Okay, I am glad a friend convinced me to keep watching Overlord. I got to see this adorable boy! Aaah!

I was also told I give good hugs

starting to learn HTMX, it’s cool. nice to just have an extension for html functionality that isn’t just straight up moving to a javascript framework like react

though svelte is pretty cool too ngl, it ties in pretty closely with html as well, despite all of its flaws I do actually enjoy HTML5+CSS for small projects (which are basically ALL of my projects lately)

finally working on an actual site for stellers.gay instead of just redirecting to my old one. experimenting with styles since while the DS main menu site style I made a while ago was funny, I kinda want something more serious now. (also I don’t want to poke the nintendo bear.)

I’m definitely no graphic artist but I’ve always loved Swiss Style and am trying my hand at it for this.

yes it’s all plain html+css don’t judge me

jus found a cool lil button that seems to disable the chrome ad tracking nonsense, thought i'd share
