(#5vaid6q) @eaplmx@twtxt.net Yes, exactly. The site I used has a mobile web app that lets you take a picture with your phone, measures your pupil distance for scale, and then automatically overlays the frames you’re looking at onto your picture.

Had my first eye exam in forever last night and ordered some new glasses now that I have an updated prescription. I went with frames that are pretty similar to what I already use, but image mockup technology has improved a lot since the last time I ordered so I amused my kids with pictures of myself with wild frames first.

(#owkdycq) @prologic@twtxt.net Hmm, interesting. My original interpretation was that the (#hash) was hidden by yarn.social’s UI, but then when I saw it turn up in the UI for some posts I started to get confused because my incorrect expectation was that a (#hash) would either always be exposed or always hidden and a mix of the two never occurred to me.

As far as GO knowledge I have some casual programming experience and have looked at the source a little, but I wasn’t able to identify the relevant parts of the code base. I am interested in understanding further, although I’m not sure how much I can contribute.

(#owkdycq) @prologic@twtxt.net Oh well, I can work around it manually for the time being now that I know what’s up.

(#c5wd4la) @prologic@twtxt.net It’s the dystopian spy thriller story of the beginnings of the Rebellion against the Empire five years before Rogue One.

(#owkdycq) @prologic@twtxt.net To further clarify, this missing post id tag behavior is happening within a conversation view rather than out in the main timeline- maybe it’s a bug?

(#x43iebq) @prologic@twtxt.net I’m a bit confused about how the two different reply icon buttons behave. The speech bubble with a plus doesn’t supply a post id tag to the edit field at all, while the double speech (conversation?) icon supplies the id tag of the post you’re replying to rather than the original root. Shouldn’t both options supply some kind of id tag to the edit field?

Andor is such a good show. That’s it. That’s the twt.

Time for a little yarn post reply functionality testing.

(#nzojsda) Looks like only one of my two judge position choices won their race. The winner I didn’t vote for is currently working as a deputy prosecutor and won quite handily which in retrospect feels predictable given the conservative tendencies of Spokane County. Regardless, all four candidates were well qualified and I’m perfectly content with the outcome.

I’m really happy with how well octobloc.xyz has been working out so far. Yarn.social’s feed (persona) functionality is probably my single favorite feature because it lets me do topical microblogging.

(#nzojsda) All done. There were actually two judge races that required some effort on my part- all four candidates seemed solid and as strictly non-partisan positions it’s interesting to figure out who to choose.

Need to wrap up my ballot so I can drop it off at our library ballot box later today. This area has a surprising number of unopposed candidates for the minor positions which I find depressing.

(#qh35edq) @abucci@anthony.buc.ci That is a metric I can relate to!🙄

📺 I’ve been enjoying Shantaram on AppleTV quite a bit. I’ve never read the novel, but I may have to track it down. 1980s era Bombay is a fascinating milieu and I find the characters and story quite compelling

The kids want to build a jump for the little sledding hill in our front yard so I guess it’s time to shovel some more snow!

Still in the process of transitioning from Dark Sky to Apple’s built-in weather app on my phone. Not sure what I’m going to use on the desktop. I’ve actively hated darksky.net for years because it never recognizes or remembers my location, but I keep going back. Old habits die hard.😐

(#o3zzt4q) The real pain was clearing my wife’s SUV so that she can safely drive my oldest into school this morning without flinging snow chunks all over the highway.

(#o3zzt4q) Ended up taking me about an hour to clear off our driveway and it’s still snowing. Only had about three inches to start, but it was fairly wet and heavy.

Snowed quite a bit overnight. I was thinking about going in to work, but clearly a good day to just work remotely and avoid the morning commute.

(#5ravvda) @prologic@twtxt.net I actually discovered twtxt/yarn.social shortly after learning about Gemini at the beginning of the summer, it just took me quite a while to decide on a setup and hosting course of action.

Filled the yard waste bin and three garbage bags with pine needles and I’m still not done! Pretty much par for the course for this time of year, but Friday’s wind storm amped things up a bit. Time to get back to it.

Time to go get productive on the weekend household chores front. That garage is not going to clean itself!

(#emlgjra) Ah, looks like the reply interface needs to supply a post tag.

Playing with feeds and replies this morning during the Spurs game. Replies to feeds don’t seem to work quite like I’ve been expecting and feed posts don’t seem to be editable.

I think I’ve done enough fiddling around with octobloc.xyz configuration for tonight. Time to get some sleep.

Updated the default yarn.social SVG logo a minute ago and testing out the mobile posting experience now.

Took a break from regular microblogging (on a friend’s site) when I went on vacation back in July and never started up again. Decided to host my own yarn.social pod a couple weeks ago and finally got it working tonight.
