Always a researcher, sometimes a scientist. Be the UX you want to see in the world.

I've always been into MUDs since the mid-90s and every now and then I get this idea to write one from scratch (again) and I get pretty far and then I lose interest. The new one is browser based. The mud engine runs in a…
After some research, mostly in /r/GermanCitizenship, I recently applied for and received my German passport, based on my mother being German at the time I was born. There are a lot of subreddits with a lot of useful…
One of the "perks" of my Walmart+ membership is scan-as-you-go. I think I've used it twice. Both times, I only had a few things and the store was packed solid with spring breakers. It was a decent experience but I still…
I'm pretty introspective and I've got my strengths and weaknesses down. They're also the same things, but in different directions and degrees. Example: I am super focused and stay on something until it is done. I am…
I had the same problem with these questions. Then one day a recruiter said to me, "kageneko, your engineering skills are on top, but your question answering is really bad. I think it would help if you wrote down some…
Screen readers often read things in particular ways that non-screen readers would interpret differently. One example that I've run into is using all caps to label something, like "ACCOUNT NAME". Screen readers will…
Ah, such memories. MUDs were the first reason I almost flunked out of college. Especially when I started running my own. Gonna read this so much. Especially since I'm building a MUD again, but using Discord and Slack as…
It depends. For drawing, diagramming, and writing things out, I often use an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, with the Paper app [0]. I find that writing with a pencil-type thing works better for me than typing. I also do…
I've bought a few non-smart TVs from Wal-mart: Sceptre brand. They were cheap and functional. I use them with Fire TV sticks, XBox, and this NUC that I've got sitting around.
They don't have direct access. You need to assign the secret in your workflow file. Example: steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - uses: sfdx-actions/setup-sfdx@v1 with: sfdx-auth-url: ${{ secrets.SFDX_AUTH_URL }} or…
I picked up a 41 inch Sceptre earlier this year and I loooove the lack of smart features. For watching TV in my office, it works amazingly well.
I wouldn't bet on the availability of a data plan. I regularly drive through Alabama on the way to Florida (from Atlanta). One time, I took a wrong turn and ended up in a small town with absolutely no cell signal and…

I'm building a CarPi. I'm using a bluetooth OBD-II adapter and Python-OBD to monitor my car's diagnostics and record them. I'm planning on adding a GPS adapter and probably a gyroscope/accelerometer so I can track…
I've had a few fakes or knockoffs -- mostly low-cost electronics that I didn't care too much about. But one of them was an AC adapter for my laptop :| After I plugged it in, my laptop smoked. Well, more like sizzled.…
Oh hey, a fellow Weaver. Sorta. Back then, I was Artanin and the drama is why I gave up the mud. I did put the Weave files I have on github, tho.
You can do this. I have mine set up to use Todoist. You need to add the appropriate skill and then link the account.
Uggh. Yeah. We've been required to use it at work, if we want real-time chat. We were using Slack before, but it was taken off the authorization list. I made a long list of things that was wrong with it while we were…
While there is an ISO standard for pet chips, there are several competing versions that are also in use. I think my vet said there were 3 or 4 different kinds and each had a different kind of reader.
It's a bit simplistic, but this quote from Babylon 5 has resonated with me so much: I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, "Wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the…
I use Neat URL[0] with Firefox to strip things like that from URLs. 0: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/neat-url/
Like all things involving subsidies and the economy, there is an amazing Planet Money episode on this. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/05/02/607787950/epis...
I've over 40, have had a major gap in my front teeth, and a slight overbite all of my life. I wish I had gotten braces when I was younger but this is the first job I've had that pays for adult orthodontia. I've had…
I don't remember the site offhand, but I was going to one recently where example.com didn't even work, it was some weird error page -- you had to use www.example.com. If it comes to me, I'll post it.
Because of exotropia[0], I have extremely limited binocular vision. I have had several surgeries to keep my eyes from drifting off to the side but essentially all of my distance vision comes from size and context clues.…
