Did a lot of work on the touch pressure calibration routine

Code It's actually a fairly simple linear function: The first gif shows how the Max Force Value and user-selected max brush size factor into the calculation. The next gif shows the UI for the touch pressure calibration routine I got really…

Watched WandaVision and started work on drying out my house

I've been having some trouble with figuring out what to write about, even with my "subject and short blurb" format. I think I'm just tired from working nonstop lately. Can't catch a break.... TV I finally watched WandaVision and it was pre…

Code Paint Tool- Added customizable color palette with classic Oekaki default colors- Fixed bug with making painted replies- Color palette preview now adjusts icon color to contrast correctly- Added confirmation before submit- Added downlo…

More heavy storms are coming, and my house isn't ready for them

Weather I have had to spend a fair bit of time trying to mitigate the effects of the weather, including flooding of my basement and my roof leaking. It's hard to say this, but I sometimes wonder if I should've waited a bit longer before pi…

Roof leaking, basement flooded

I'd add more images but my regular phone is charging and it's very difficult to get the Hatena Notation for Fotolife images on mobile I'm marking this post as from yesterday but I was just too tired to write it so I'm doing it today This i…

Did some more work on the paint tool

Code I did some more work on the drawing tool. I added a new brush, though it has some glitches at higher pressure values that I need to work out. I want to make this the best that it can be; once I add the bare-minimum needed to function …

Started working on a drawing tool today

Code I'm very new to all of this, so the development may be gradual. I'd like to make something that's comfortable to use, but it may take. I stayed up late and worked on it after work today and it can do things like pressure sensitivity a…

Took my car in to the shop today

Car I took my truck into the local transmission shop today. It's been leaking ATF and I wanted to get it taken care of as soon as I can. I don't have any news yet about what the cause is. 今日のアイス Drumstick Triple Chocolate sundae cone…

I've finally squashed the pesky LastPass bug!

LastPass For a while, LastPass on Android insisted on trying to fill the composer form field for a contenteditable div. I finally worked out a way to get it not to do this: add the aria-label attribute. Hurray! Code I stayed up late last n…

Spent time with my grandparents today!

Lunch Had fish and a baked potato with my grandparents at a local diner. We had an absolutely lovely time together and talked about a great number of things. I love them ♡ I borrowed a mower My stolen mower hasn't been recovered, so I borr…

Is it wrong to earn money from a passion project?

I've been thinking about my career and what I want to do in the future. Working on Sudo Haiku has been so far a very rewarding experience, and it feels amazing to create a thing that people enjoy using. I spent a really long time within on…

As is the norm lately, today I wrote more code and forgot to eat dinner

I added search to the emoji picker. It should work in Japanese, but I accidentally broke my computer's IME so I couldn't verify. I'll probably make it hide empty categories when I'm a bit less tired... but I plan to stay up late tonight b…

I spent all day working on a search form

Web design It turned out pretty well! I also made social previews work properly: Dinner I forgot to eat lunch and dinner again today. oFTo

Potato Soup today

Code I fixed some bugs today with notifications Car I need to take my car into the shop soon Haiku I had a lot of fun on Sudo Haiku today! Sorry for the short entry.

Sudo Haiku

At long last, I've finally released my newest creation: Sudo Haiku! It's meant to be a successor to Hatena Haiku, Hatena's mini-blog service that was closed several years ago, and is my second service acting as a revival of a closed Hatena…

Another day, another bowl of soup

Soups Have I ever mentioned how much I love soups of all kinds? I also love chili. I could eat it every day and never get sick of it. Today I had a bowl of mushroom soup. Work Today at work I tested some stuff to do with IPv6 allocation. C…

Spent seven hours fixing things up

Sudo Haiku An official post about the site will be coming soon, please be patient :) Hatena Star Hatena Star seems to verify that a page contains quoted text if it's non-ASCII and is not on an HTTP url (e.g https://). No clue why, but I ha…

Picked up my 3DS but I need to clean

Cleaning I set a goal for myself. I am going to clean up my room and make sure the clothes and stuff are folded and put away. 3DS Web development I opened up a demo of the site and was surprised when many people came along. I didn't expect…

Power outages and CSS animations

Hatena Star My Hatena Star component looks a lot better now. It took a lot of work to make it work this nicely. It's also a lot faster than HatenaStar.js. That said, I may rewrite the entire thing again at some point to make it cleaner and…

Pop Happiness and PHP Girl

Font I was trying to find licensing information for and found that Fontworks listed a particular piece of manga in their "real-world usage" section that caught my eye. わかばちゃんと学ぶ サーバー監視 作者:湊川あい,粕谷大輔 シーアンドアール…

I ran OS X in a virtual machine

OS X I can't afford to buy my own Mac, so in order to fix a lot of annoying Safari bugs, I spent a while getting OS X to run in VirtualBox. Unfortunately, the USB ports on my computer don't work, so I couldn't do remote debugging on my old…

I got a new pair of glasses

Glasses I actually got them yesterday but forgot to mention it. They have the same frame as my old ones, but everything is amazingly crystal-clear and I don't have to take them off to read anymore. Code Today for the project I'm working on…
