Describe a place that feels different after dark.
All places feel different after dark. Although, if I'm spooked I try to remind myself that places in the dark and the same as places in the day. It's just harder to see.

What object in your home has the best story?
I’m realizing that my stuff doesn’t have many stories. Things are bought to fill a need or want. That’s about it. I mean, there are a few small items passed down from my grandmother. Various art and prints that aren’t worth much and don’t have stories. I do still have two dressers from my childhood.…
As you may have seen there is now a new daily prompt. It’s the thought post box’s placeholder text so that it’s as non-obtrusive as possible. You can ignore it and just post, then it goes away. But, if you are replying to the prompt, you select “Prompt reply” to confirm your intent so that your po…
Write about a movie you remember more clearly than you remember real life.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's sort of a weird movie which resonated strongly with me.

I really should buy a cheap android phone for dev testing so this community has an android app too. I’m all about being inclusive. Maybe I can ask Santa for one for Christmas.
The chatroom is now open for the first time ever. It will stay open for several hours so that each timezone gets some time to at least test it out. There are bugs, especially the iOS version. And, the iOS version can't be fixed quickly since every update requires Apple's review. So, if you're one of…

I just had a vivid dream that I had surgery on both of my arms. I don’t know what the surgery was for. The surgeon made huge cuts down my arms. Then he pulled out big yellow cylindrical objects, cleaned the area and stitched me up.

I’m watching The AI Doc on Netflix. It’s making me anxious. They show both sides. Those who believe the end is near. Then those who are optimistic about the future. There’s a major problem with the optimistic side a…
Work has been so busy it’s not even funny. I’m not even looking at my pings yet. I want to sit down this evening, and slowly enjoy opening each ping and reply.
If you don’t like the newer bubbled daily post at the top (an old post that gets bubbled back up), you can now turn that off in settings.
A potential way to combat AI agent traffic in the future is to first collect data on current normal traffic patterns. This could be as simple as, on average, how many page hits do you get a day. Depending on a lot of things, not saying it would be perfect, you could then throttle or block during wei…
I’m off work today. My wedding anniversary. But, I’m still joining two work meetings because it’s difficult to find times to talk to clients about their websites. They are major companies. That’s all I can say. They could be watching.
