Death.au's Blog

⌨️

I like my blog and want to use it more, but what sort of content could I create that ends up marketable and profitable?

🤔

I'm looking into things I could possibly do for work that are outside of my normal (i.e. software/web development). The idea of proofreading is sticking with me. It's something I've done in all aspects of my work for many different people.

So, how do I find people who need proofreading work?

G'day, Neighbours!

Also added: Edit your statuslog bio, character count on statuses, light theme (based on OS preference) and some minor color / style tweaks.

As always, feedback is welcome via [email protected]

My brain has just hit a procrastination lock-up. I don't know what to do, or what I should be doing

Yeah, I spent way too long looking into emojis, fonts and subsets. But now I have a trimmed-down Twemoji font, containing only flags. Only 76KB 🤏

Don't mind me, just testing some flags 🇨🇦 🇨🇭 🇨🇾 🇨🇿 🇩🇪 🇩🇰 🇯🇴🇳🇵

Ooh! Neighbourhood.omg.lol is verified. When did that happen? Neat.

Why is it that after a nap I feel groggier than when I lay down in the first place?

#MarvelSnap Arishem has arrived. He's immediately popular. Now Darkhawk is super powerful 😈

@steele, if you see this, you'll know that some people do look

G'day Neighbours!
I've published an open beta of my new Neighbourhood.omg.lol app. It's ready for any and all Android users to try out! I've also set up a sale so the app will be free for a week, but I couldn't start the sale immediately, so it will be free from tomorrow.

I'm looking for honest feedback. What works, what doesn't, what needs improvement. I don't exactly have bug tracking or anything set up yet, so for now feel free to ping me on Mastodon, or shoot an email to [email protected]

I also have a roadmap on the /now page (https://neighbourhood.omg.lol/now) if you're interested.

❓️

Serious question for all omg.lol people: Following other omg.lol people, yay or nay?

For some, part of the appeal of status.lol is that there isn't any "social" features such as "liking" and "following". For others, it might be nice to keep the statuslog of people you care about close.

What say you?

Being from Australia, I did not grow up with Mister Rogers (though my kids love Daniel Tiger). I feel like I may have missed out.

🙈

Why do some sites support a dark theme, but still default to light regardless of user preferences?

There's even an option for "system default", but that's not your default? Wtf?

🐶

"Dogfooding" is such a weird word to choose for the concept. "Would you eat your own dog food?" If yes, wouldn't it just be "food"?

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
