completely blind computer geek, lover of science fiction and fantasy (especially LitRPG). I work in accessibility, but my opinions are my own, not that of my employer. Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those.

@lynn Nah, write an interpreter in php for another language. I’ve had the misfortune of seeing two of those. One that started as someone’s custom config file format and slowly became touring complete, and another that started as someone’s custom bbcode style markup language and also mutated into its own programming language.

Got one of those coughs that's been lingering for a couple weeks. It won't get better, it won't get worse, it just clings on! Yuck. Not sick enough to take time off work, but not well enough to be happy about it.

@adam Soon I’ll be forced to switch. Work is talking about making it mandatory for vpn access. Not sure I want to trust my janky solution for the thing that pays me.

@TSchulte Yeah. CBC did a good job as always, but it's far too late to remember now.

Excellent of Remembrance Day on as always. Usually, I cry because we remember. This year, I cried because we have forgotten.

@dhamlinmusic Dark humour is best humour. Just like dark chocolate is best chocolate.
