I was one of the last generation of programmers taught Cobol. You do not want AI touching Cobol. It runs on some of the most important systems, especially financial institutions.

The 10th installation in our annual tradition was @madebymorganb.bsky.social an artist I've been following for a couple years.
Working with their style this year's theme was "Grumpy!"
The hand puppets are Philip and Philomena, cousins of Bluey's Shaun.

Reflecting on this year and it was a wild one!

Started a new job
Lost my mom
10th wedding anniversary
My son finally got off of the 5 year waitlist for support
And all the little ups and downs in between.

Looking forward to a break!

Doug Ford Moves to End Rent Control Doug Ford announced proposed changes to the LTB that would strip away key tenant protections, fast-track evictions, and open the door to ending rent control as we know it in Ontario.

Hey, Ontarians? We gotta push back on Doug Ford's fun new landlord empowerment bill: acorncanada.org/news/doug-fo...

As game dev I often wonder if my intuition about the Steam market matches reality. So I did a small game to test it: Guess how many reviews a random game has. You can now play it too on steamle.com

Today we’re getting a barrage of new game announcements, but I wanted to share recent releases you’ve missed in ✨Underrepresented Steam Games✨. These are games that have less than 50 reviews that deserve attention. Feel free to spread the list and share if you know someone who covers small games.

TOJam (@torontogamejam.bsky.social) was a great success with 98 games submitted and 1 support request for submission when I checked yesterday.

Post-TOJam I put together a quick bug fix for Psychorama (Xbox One) and am just waiting on cert for that project to be 100% done.

Day job is going well

Canadians. Next week we find out of we'll continue to be a sovereign nation, or if we'll be on the path to US vassalage.

We get to decide. Your vote will determine the outcome.

Please get out and vote. Please. Do. It.
