I am a software developer and tinkerer based in Melbourne, Australia. Check out my CV

Where you can find me:

I busted out my Mixels to give my Israfel Keyboards some teeth, little wings, and a single glow-in-the-dark eyeball.

Not a heavy customisation by any means, just a little bit of fun for the season ๐ŸŽƒ

๐Ÿ“ฑ

I miss the physical buttons phones used to have...

๐Ÿฅค

Whatever happened to cola flavoured cordial?

๐Ÿ˜ฉ

In theory, kids are supposed so grow out of sleeping in their parents' bed.

I'm still waiting...

๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Feeling mostly better. My eyes are still a little leaky, and I still have a backlog of mucus to clear out, but mostly better.

๐Ÿซฃ

My eyes are all gross now...

๐Ÿ˜ฑ

I've just realised my freiendica instance isn't actually sending my posts, and I don't know how to debug it...

Service Worker Side Template Rendering

HTMX + Mustache with a service worker fetching external data and rendering HTML from a template. Fun? Practical? You decide!

๐Ÿคง

Being sick is not fun...

๐Ÿ”Œ

Why is charging my devices always so damned inconsistent?

๐Ÿ’ก

Hey, @[email protected] I know you're busy and everything, but I just had an idea: Webhooks for /now and profile pages (so I can push the changes to my personal static website, or set up my own nudges, or whatever)

My new website (again) - 11ty+Friendica

So, I've re-jiggered my website *again*, and moved away from Ghost, back to 11ty, with a Friendica instance along for the ride...

๐Ÿค”

I'm considering how to add some of the more social elements of omg.lol to the app... For example, IRC.

Surely users will be better served by the chat.omg.lol PWA, so there's little point building anything in, right?

๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Why can't apps just be. Why should I have to submit an update to the app store if it still works fine?

๐Ÿฅ‰

Umm... Third time's a charm?

๐Ÿค”

It turns out it did not work properly the first time, but after some debugging, it looks like we should be good to go now. I just need to double-check...

๐Ÿงช

So... If I've got this set up right, this status.lol post should appear both on my website at https://death.id.au and be pushed out to the fediverse via my Friendica instance, also on https://death.id.au... ๐Ÿคž

๐Ÿ‘‹

G'day neighbours! It's been a while...

But I wanted to share that version 1.0.0 of Neighbourhood.omg.lol is live on the Google Play Store! If you're already using the app, there are no major changes. If you're not though, it's a great time to jump on board! Statuses, pics, pastes and all that good omg.lol stuff is here and easily accessible.

Any feedback? Shoot me a message: [email protected]

Is it time...?

#Finch. What is it about this particular app that has allowed me to stick with it when I chop and change between so many others?
