    In my fifth grade English class the four term themes were Civil War, Holocaust, dog books, and choose-your-own. For the first three units, my parents read all four options ahead of time and had me assigned to the least traumatizing. For the last term I picked Julie of the Wolves, a dog book disguised as a Wolf book; I’d always wondered why my second grade teacher suddenly stopped reading it to us at story time.

    The two short stories that have really stuck with me are the Ray Bradbury one about the automated home and the Edgar Alan Poe one about the beating heart

    I was assigned The Westing Game no led than three times from K-12

    My favorite report I wrote was when I got to pick Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch in my dual-credit community college English course and the red pen in the margins of my report was all compliments
















  • I started learning Japanese as I started using Heliboard, for now I just swap back when I need it. GBoard doesn’t play nice with the language button switching between apps so I just use the OS keyboard button and have the language button disabled everywhere, which also frees up some space!



  • I want to do a rewrite, it’s got some silly issues RN:

    • Crops are stored in individual CSVs per image and ratio instead of a proper database and when you restart the server it has to reload all of them
    • The only UI is the gallery and the image cropping screen
    • To get to the gallery you have to type your screen resolution into the URL bar
    • Thumbnails aren’t cached so they load into the gallery very slowly
    • I send 1:1 wallpapers to both my tablet and watch but when some particular art of Sylvanas that looks great on my watch gets send to my tablet while it’s in landscape it’s just her torso

    Regardless of all that I think its still pretty nifty and I’d be willing to help set it up or you follow me on Mastodon I’ll post there when I have news: @aido@social.undarkpixel.com

    (I lost my hobby coding spark for a while but it seems to be coming back, though right now that’s in the form of an Anki plugin that generates a flashcard deck by extracting data from the vocab app for a Japanese textbook called Genki)
