Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.
As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.

I've been sick, and thus unable to work on commissions, or general art, or promote myself as much as usual, and weekly bills are now due :(
I had to duck out of an exhibition this week too because of MH (and then getting sick so I'm glad I didn't go).
I had a lot of little prints made for it, so how's this - if you spend £10+ in my Ko-Fi shop on physical items with postage, I'll send you a random small (4x4 or 6x4) print for free. ❤

@matt If you have actually read Kropotkin and you're trying to reverse engineer what an actual person might think, you're overthinking it :)
There *is* an actual kind of stupid person who watches streamers react to video essays where the essayist might cite Kropotkin; this sort of person is likely to be far left, and to care a lot about e.g. Gaza, and maybe even say stuff about how electoralism is bad and " we need revolution". But that's not who I'm talking about…

My matrix dart sdk talk from #matrixconf 2024. All things considered I am pretty satisfied with it, especially considering it's my first completely solo talk.
Working on a prototype in PocketPages. It's a bit rough around the edges but rapidly improving, and I'm having a blast.
Feels like the good parts of old school PHP development, with database and schema management built in, the ability to fall back to Go when you need it, real-time support and a Dart SDK for Flutter, plus other community-supported client APIs of course. About the only thing missing for me is switching SQLite out for something like Postgres if your prototype ever grows large enough, but since 90+% of them won't, I'm just not sweating it.

🎶 **Excited to Share My New Arrangement of "Thriller" by Michael Jackson!** 🎶
I had so much fun making this track come to life in my own style and couldn’t have done it without the amazing gear and incredible people who helped along the way!
**Special Thanks To:**
- **Viscount International** 🎹 for that iconic organ sound—big shout-out to Delroy White for taking it up a notch with some custom tweaks.
- **Yamaha Drums** 🥁 bringing the heartbeat of this track.
- **Audix Mics** 🎤 for capturing the drum sound perfectly.
- **Pianoteq** for that smooth Rhodes sound in the background, adding that perfect touch.
- **Nord** 🎹 used the Stage 4 for some awesome Clav sounds.

ARIA is great. /s
If aria-current had an HTML equivalent, this person probably wouldn’t have found aria-activedescendent and used it wrongly. It’s one of the main reason I want stuff that works well to get HTML equivalents. This should be a no-brainer.
