Also, it's not engineering unless you take personal responsibility for your work, and accept personal liability for harms caused by your work. Most of you code monkeys can sod off, you're not engineers you're programmers and your entire industry is built on dodging liability.

My therapist gave me homework today. Between that, staying with my parents, and spending a lot of time working on my website and other web-related stuff, it's like I'm 16 all over again.

I brought over my research page to Version 4. I'm once again pleased with how (reasonably) straightforward it has become to build nice layouts with modern CSS. Thank you past me for writing good, semantic HTML which made it easy to move the page over from Version 3.

Now that the website is at a stable point, I'm finally going to work through Beautiful Racket and properly learn some Racket. And after that, I'll come back to the site and write an ActivityPub server so that I can stop manually posting to Mastodon.

Some of their fonts appear to be on sale as of this writing.

Color Studio
Fiddling with color themes is one of the fun parts of designing your website. Though I'd like to think that I have a pretty good eye for design, I'm not always the best at picking colors and matching them with others. Color Studio is a beautiful and interesting tool that could make that job a little easier.

Had a fresh samosa, hot, crispy and just a little too spicy. Also saw a small dog wearing a pink vest in the back of a car. Good day.
