Had Fun

Bought a car/micro-camper

Bought a van to do up as a micro-camper, and did a temporary rush job of that conversion myself while waiting in the list for the pro to do it.
Then the pro gave himself a health criss the week it was booked so I took apart my temp job and only got another temp kit-job in it's place.
Went out in it like four times during that and then broke my wrist and couldn't really use it or improve it.
Then had to take it apart even more to try
and figure out where the ad-blue hole was.
I will do a proper permanent job of the
floor and walls and ceiling and adjustments to the kit-job to make it the nicest it's been so far during the spring next year.
My assumption that the prior conversion
into a van and for wheelchair-access meant the microcamper conversion was half-done already turned out to be false.
If I buy a new one, it'll be one that has never been wheelchair adapted.
But it's going okay. Only scraped it once so far.
Fewer than aimed for or booked, but I broke my wrist and had to cancel the second half of the summer.
Went to a conference about money and computers and fringe decentralized social media and it wasn't as boring as you might expect and felt pretty much like a festival.
Exactly the target number! It's lovely.
Took 3 times longer than I'd hoped and
50% more money than I'd planned for really.
Still improvements to make but they will
be incremental and gradual over the coming year or two now.
It's been interest-only for 20 years so a big old lump sum payment that I never really expected to be able to make. Expected to have to sell and move at the end of the mortgage term.
But surprisingly the stocks ISA got high enough to pay it off after all, so I did that.
Cash-flow ruined by that and the bedroom but should start to feel a bit richer next year.

My costume was this meat cleaver through my head, and nothing else.
Both of my kids worked for like a week on each of theirs.
At least 50 people on the street commented on mine when we trick-or-treated. Laziness ftw? 😂

September was a great month. I finally have a desk, and changed something in my daily routine. I read another two books of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, watched High and Low and The Phantom of the Opera, and tell you about "I Love My Computer" by Ninajirachi.

The Changelog – September 2025
September was a great month. I finally have a desk, and I finally changed something in my daily routine. I read another two books of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and finished the Three-Body Problem trilogy. I watched High and Low and The Phantom of the Opera, and I will share my connection I Love My Computer by Ninajirachi. Finally, my two cents about Silksong.

If I don't force-close my morse code drill app, sometimes it just starts playing even if I'm nowhere near my phone. Often sitting a good distance away charging in the middle of the night. The author of the app has looked for and failed to find any logical cause for this problem.
It's a google Pixel, and maybe I'm seeing a variation on something others have been seeing:

I got the #InnioasysY1 music player.
Before that it was between a 1st gen ipod shuffle, my android phone with a usb c to aux adapter, my android device with a aux jack, and my iphone.
But I settled on the Innioasys Y1 and enjoy it. Put rockbox on it and its awesome. An ipod would be double the price and I don't care this thing works fine for me.
As well as this rockbox the…

One of my favorite mastodon features is the time-based muting. Someone's posting through (suffering, lol) a football game, and I have less than zero interest in sportsball? But I generally enjoy following them? Mute them for 1 hour (or 6 hours), and my screen is no longer littered with crap about touchzonegoalruns.
Or maybe you don't want to see my stupid replies to a dumb horror movie from 40 years ago? Mute me for an hour or two, and voila!

Here's what bothers me about AI-generated code, and I'm going to use my own fuck-up as an example. I was calling a DBus interface from C , which I'd already done elsewhere in the code. So I cut & pasted, and adjusted variable names.. It didn't work. So naturally I assumed something was wrong on the other end. I added delays to make sure the other side had enough time to bring up interfaces, I wrote some introspection code to ensure the interface was available, etc.
