It's my daughter's second birthday! I setup Sugar Labs on an old laptop MacBook Air. The laptop had a broken keyboard so I bought her a cheap fun keyboard and mouse combo.
Sugar Labs is neat, it's got a simple UI which will help her learn how to navigate and a few simple programs for her to play with. It has a simple Python IDE but it might be a little while until she's ready to play with that. It has a web browser too so I might setup some custom Home Assistant dashboards so she can change the lights, control her train, etc. And I'll see if I can setup Signal or alike so she can call her grandparents.
I remember playing on our family Amstrad CPC when I was 4yo. It came with BASIC and it was my first exposure to coding. I want my daughter to have the opportunity to be a creator of tech instead of just a consumer of tech.
Our :emacs: Emacs.ch VM celebrates its first birthday in 5 days 🎂 Without a single reboot. Zero downtime. And, as is proper for a well-managed instance, blocked by mART.
How did Mastodon change your life? 🍻 It certainly had a great impact on mine.
New art print this morning, from a shot I took even earlier this morning on my walk after I spotted a bush full of the tiniest daisies and the sun decided to come out right as I stopped there,.. titled 'Daisy Morning' :)

If you enjoyed any of my work, consider, as a birthday gift, making a small donation to your favorite charity (or visit the MutualAid hashtag), calling a family member just to say hi, helping a neighbor with groceries.
v1.0 then:
“Perl is kind of designed to make #awk and #sed semi-obsolete […] The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal).” https://github.com/Perl/perl5/releases/tag/perl-1.0
A shot from this morning, now up in the gallery as a monochrome print after some tweaks, titled 'Mondays' (Maple Leaf on Concrete, Monochrome) :)

For my 40th birthday, I'd like for you to consider donating to one of these things that regularly makes me happy or one of these causes that are worth supporting:
It’s my FediVersary! My MastoBirthday! My Birthtodon! I joined a year ago.
So glad to have a non-profit social media platform. And I really enjoy the community, and all the new folks I’ve connected with here, some even IRL!
In addition to all the diverse voices and perspectives that help me stay informed and empathetic, I get to hear really cool stories from people who were / are active in the music scenes and bands I post about.
Time for some #Foxes for #SilentSunday - digital pieces I created in mid-June, titled 'Fluffy Snow Fox' and 'Fox in the Field' :)

Mozart turns 1 today! My gorgeous familiar has made one whole trip around the sun! When I say familiar I mean my soulmate.
I bought him several gifts and our vet told me to give them to him slowly so he got one on Monday two on Tuesday and the other two today. He's very happy. #bunmom#bunny#birthday#rabbit#BelgianHare#petsofmastadon
