sorry it's so late
it's eid. we made sumakiyyah or sumaghiyyeh or sumagiyya. i made it a bit too thick but it's pink and delicious.
there were a series of dramatic events due to being unable to acquire chard. i thought i'd write about them, but it looks like i won't.
in general there isn't much to report other than things are good. i haven't been getting much sleep but it's because i'm working on something exciting that might be important.
i hope you're well.
see you in spain.
hey
very late!
i just spent four hours writing the wrong abstraction and now i have to unwrite it. the app i'm working on is coming along really well. it can store any kind of file as a document with infinite history and collaboration built in from the beginning. you can create views and new file types with plugins, upgrade old views, share docs and spaces with your friends. when i finish it, it'll replace a lot of software for me. but it might take the rest of my life to finish it.
other than that i'm really happy. we are eating tasty and going to spain. haven't made any music for a while, everything's on hold while i write littlebook.
i said hey siri play josie and the pussycats and siri said "ok! josie and the pussycats songs from the motion picture by josie and the pussycats now playing" and then the music started and few bars in it became apparent that it was all i want for christmas is a dukla prague away kit by half man half biscuit
we went to the zoo, for zoo nights, which was a lot of fun and it's a great time at the zoo on zoo nights. monkey was there and so were the others like zebra.
have a good week.
hello there. it's 4am! i'm awake thinking about local-first software and the origin private file system and effect and notebook application.
i am hungry and i will eat eggs. going to pick the hedgehog up from the airport in a few hours.
there’s a really angry guy in the shop. angry because a homeless person asked him for money. you’ve got four legs haven’t you mate, he keeps on shouting at the guy, you’ve got four legs. with a tone like "same as me, i earn my money". as if anyone with four, the normal amount of legs, shouldn’t need spare change. the other guy keeps shooting back "shank me then!" "two legs!" "come outside and shank me!" i got the fella a pack of amber leaf and reassured him that he does not in actual fact have four legs.
-- update: i fell asleep and didn't meet the hedgehog at the airport and i feel terrible about it. what the hell. i should be shot.
the week i spent in pain because i had a 2020-style hormone delivery interruption and it was a hard week. but hedgehog is home now and it will be like the grey and white cat and then there will be spinach and ham with beans and eggs.
the week i've worked as much as i could handle and i've spent my free time reading about various technologies, and a couple of fiction books and now i'm reading havana blue by leonardo padura.
i have to go now to the train station with a can of monster because they don't have that in the UAE and then i will come home and it will be like the grey and white cat and then i'll do the next part
it's 19 degrees celsius and partly cloudy and 1:00p.m..
i actually MADE lamb moussaka this week! it was delicious and LARGE the biggest aubergine in the world. it was so cute from the side with its 5 layers of 🍆 and zucchini and 🐑 and 🍅 and on top instead of bechamel it was an egg+yoghurt+mozzarella blend topped with parmesan.

yes, yesyes. what else? i wrote a shared list application
https://lists.chee.party/ you can make a project by going to /p/anything or a
normal list with /l/anything. it is built with a library called
yjs which implements a thing called
CRDTs which
are a very cool way of offline-first collaboration to always converge to the
same document in a way that makes sense to a user. they quietly got really good
4 years ago when martin kleppman wrote a paper, a scholarly
article, and now there is a lot of extremely
exciting progress happening. they have the opportunity to change software
completely, the next swing of the long pendulum in the grandfather clock of Big
Computer<->Personal Computer. we can have software that runs locally on our
computer, but syncs between our computer and our phone without having a Google
or Amazon or anyone in between, just our own computers talking to each other. on
top of that, you can invite your friend to work on your file too and you can
work together, even offline, and when you both reconnect your changes will merge
together. with no cloud in between! just talking to each other! also for kind of
for free you get infinite undo, time travel, branching paths. and!! a man called
Seph Gentle is working on an exciting thing right now that's going to make them
even cooler. it's one of the most interesting things that's happening in the
computer.
also another exciting thing inside the computer is https://socketsupply.co/ which is a node.js-like runtime that can be used to build webview-powered native apps for mac, windows, linux, android and iOS.
zoozoo is going away for a week. did i mention we're going to spain? flying into madrid and out from barcelona. what fun.
i've lost hours over the past few days trying to pick a name for the app i'm trying to build, which is so much more fun than building it.
i hope your day is good, have an enjoyable bank holiday
it's 12 degrees and clear and 1:37a.m.
moving is very sleepyfying
i'm tired as can be
but im trying to build something, so don't wanna sleep yet. it isn't the shape it needs to be yet. it needs to be where i can see t and know it's real and what to do next and then i can sleep.
next month spain, next month zoo nights. una casita amarilla en el bosque cerca (well, cerca-ish) de Barcelona. tenemos nuestras boletos and woo woo chorizo and yum yum
pizza express was tasty.
big turkish dinner was tasty.
i don't know if i made anything tasty.
congrats kjc
eat some lamb mousakka this week.
