You still out there, Fediverse? Here, have a cat photo. #mastocats

The home network is shaping up.

I was pleased to discover this house is already wired with usable cat 5e. But it just ended here in a jumble, unterminated.

I installed a patch panel and figured out where _most_ of the cables go, but three mystery cables remain.

I saw a form that had a "select one" prompt where one of the options was "Gender Fluid."

It brought this image to mind.

Dear Lazyweb, how do I take the drill chuck off my Black and Decker 7144?

Video is just a little clip trying to show what it looks like.

I always second-guess the spelling of #florespondence

#florespondece from Wednesday the 12th.

I know there are an overwhelming number of these asks, but since this is the .cat instance, I thought of bringing this here.

This sweet boy, Monstro, is six years old and undergoing urgent surgery. His prognosis is good, but it's a big medical expense.

Happy #NationalSelfieDay

Need to check to see how external resources show up in the feed. ​ 😺

My #AdventOfCode solutions, if you're in to that sort of thing, are at https://gitlab.com/keturn/advent2018/tree/master/src

Except for when I'm feeling fancy and want to put a visualizer on it, that has a different set of build requirements and is at https://gitlab.com/keturn/advent2018-gdx/tree/master/core/src/main/kotlin/net/keturn/advent2018/gdx

Some silliness brought to you by GitHub's https://myoctocat.com/

Is an octocat a fursona? Do octocats have fur? I guess that's one question.

Here's a little glimpse of my work in progress from what I've been playing with #kotlin for.

Using geometry from keyboard-layout-editor.com.

Dabbling in graphics with libktx (a #kotlin interface to libgdx), and I guess I don't understand the coordinate system yet.

The text and the red box (and the lower-left corner of the black outline) all have their x, y as 100, 100

which makes sense if 0, 0 is lower-left and positive-x is right and positive-y is up

yet a box drawn from there goes above, but the text goes below?

mostly below, that is, because part of it ascends above the y=100 line?

This week I learned that most browsers (except Edge) have animated PNG support these days.

I love what reactji, made popular by Slack, have done for text chat and I hardly know how to converse without them anymore.

The Slack I frequent most has made extensive additions to our emoji set. But today Slack switched to using platform-native emoji and it's thrown us into disarray. https://toot.cat/media/u2XQmRj0J_VZVRmny4c

I fear I have not posted a toot of me with a cat on my toot.cat account. Allow me to remedy this. https://toot.cat/media/efjqpYDnI30HjUmJzFw
