Some pictures of hummingbirds just after I refilled the feeders. Check out the tongues in the first and third pictures! 🐦

Yesterday I posted about a tweak to the Dejal site, showing the Time Out page. For Throwback Thursday, I thought I’d share some screenshots from the Wayback Machine of ancient variations of that page, starting from 2003. #ThrowbackThursday




As a fun activity on today’s Weekend Wednesday, I tweaked the Dejal site to bump up the font size on the main text areas. These are marketing pages; they should be more readable. I plan on more changes in the future. Compare old and new.


The answer to today’s #WhatsItWednesday question: it’s our main well head. We had an issue with our well last night, where its power supply stopped working (so no water for us); fortunately we were able to get it repaired this morning. Here’s a diagram of a well system.

Let’s play What’s It Wednesday again. What do you think this is? This will be very easy for some people, very hard for others. #WhatsItWednesday

I just spent half an hour renaming the “master” branches to “main” in my many GitHub repos, which made me think of this tangentially-related Heinlein quote from Time Enough for Love: 💬
In a mature society, ‘civil servant’ is semantically equal to ‘civil master.’

A show by Scott McNulty and Jason Snell on the Incomparable network discussing current Star Trek episodes, including “Discovery”, “Picard”, etc.
The feral cat feeder was empty this morning, so I had to go out there to refill it, disturbing three cats waiting for food; you can see two in the first and third pictures, and a closeup of Spud, who wasn’t sure whether to stay or run. 🐈
