teacher who always makes things due on Saturdays at 10 PM has decided to make something due on Sunday at 10 PM
I mean, if you're going to pick a horrible time for your due dates at least be consistent about it???

• I finished my work on https://www.u2764.com, an archive for various things I have published on the internet.
• @aescling is working on refactoring httpd.execline (which powers our WebFinger and her website) but it isn’t done yet!
That last one is the only one on the list where I can see why professors *think* it's a good idea, good to make kids review stuff while it's still fresh, right? Yeah except: 1) I am not a kid who needs to be made to review things & 2) on Mondays I don't get out of class until 9PM--there is no 'still fresh' left to review with by the time I get out of class
I have a whole list of guidelines for duedates that are to me very obvious but apparently not universally so, because profs keep Doing The Thing
(things should be due on weekdays, preferably ones where the class meets, and at either 11:59 or the beginning of the class period. Things should *not* be due on: weekends, random times unrelated to the class schedule, or--with the exception of in class assignments--on the same day that the info necessary to complete the thing is provided)

Strangers are not going to poison your kids at Halloween. This tweet is a variation on a 70s urban legend. It has never happened. I don't mean "it'd be like being hit by lightning", because getting hit by lightning actually happens and THIS DOESN'T.

• @Satsuma created caramels! You can see pictures here: ‹ https://glitch.cat.family/@Satsuma/106994905207340823 ›.
• In the process of re·organizing/consolidating my internet presence, I wrote an XSLT ‹ https://github.com/marrus-sh/u2764/blob/master/Atom.xslt › which can be used to generate index pages like ‹ https://www.u2764.com/XRPT/ › and ‹ https://www.u2764.com/OFIC/ › from linked Atom feeds/archives! See the source code for those pages, or @ me for an explanation of how it works.
Tupperware is full so I’m closing out for the night! Thank you to everyone who stopped by :)
Basil plants have been (literally) cut down to size & turned into a pound of pesto for the freezer plus a bit extra for dinner tonight!
And caramels are pretty much cool so the cutting/weighing & wrapping process will probably start soon
We’re into the uncharted ‘find things to do while caramel cools’ territory
Usually I’d just leave it over night but I need these done by pretty early tomorrow so
