Month: September 2024

  • Our doggo's sleepy face this rainy Twenty-Third of Bleptember seems to say: "Mondays, am I right?"

  • Damp geocaching log book,closed.

    Found GC3WYMN Tactically Clever Placing

    This checkin to GC3WYMN Tactically Clever Placing reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. I solved this puzzle ages ago but when I came to find it the GZ was so full of dubious and disgusting litter that I didn't want to go poking around.

    I decided to return today for a โ€ฆ

  • It looks like a rainstorm is imminent this Twenty-First of Bleptember, but that won't stop this optimistic blepper from waiting near the front door in case anybody's willing to take for a walk.

    (She hates the rain, but sometimes if she's found it to be pouring down out the back door she'll insist on checking out the front door to see if it's raining there too.)

  • When she's in need of some love and attention, like this Twentieth of Bleptember, my dog will place herself underfoot at my desk. She won't necessarily put her blep away, though.

  • Screengrab of a remotely-delivered conference talk: Juan talks about a complex-looking mathematical formula; a section labelled 'chaotic energy factor' is highlighted.

    Calculating the Ideal "Sex and the City" Polycule

    When Juan Pablo Sarmiento thought to himself "couldn't Sex and the City's love triangles be squared-away by polyamory?" he didn't just sit down and write slashfic. No; he came up with a formula for idealised polycules, and open-sourced the algorithm. That's my kind of nerdity!

  • A French Bulldog with her tongue sticking out; a dog treat is balanced on her tongue.

    She might not have completely slept through me serving her a dog treat this Nineteenth of Bleptember, but our dog was still dozy enough from her nap that she didn't notice for a while that I'd placed it directly onto her bleppy tongue. ๐Ÿ˜…

  • Chris McCausland on Would I Lie To You

    I replied to Steve Faulkner's 2022 post about screen readers and emoji, highlighting the underlying interpretation problem with emoji, and sharing a topical joke that Chris McCausland made on Would I Lie To You? a few years prior.

  • "Is is walkies time yet? How about now? Now? What about now?" Her blep partially-engaged, our doggo buzzes with excited anticipation as I put on my shoes.

  • More mlem than blep, but I โค๏ธ this picture of our happy pupper mid-playtime too much not to share it with you this Seventeenth of Bleptember.

  • Usually our dog ignores the television, but when a horse appeared it was interesting enough that she sat up to take notice.

    Full image of A French Bulldog sits on a sofa looking up, with her tongue sticking out. An inset picture provides a wider view, showing that she's looking at a television screen showing a scene from The Fellowship of The Ring with a horse in it.

    Not interesting enough for her to put away her half-asleep blep, though.

    Found GC9XJDB WLMCP #2E Bridge The Gap

    This checkin to GC9XJDB WLMCP #2E Bridge The Gap reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs. A quick and easy cache-and-dash in-between errands. I've got gardening gloves; I've got supplies to make brunch... and I've got ten minutes spare, so I came to find this cache.

    Container might enjoy some camo tape โ€ฆ

  • "What'chu lookin' at?" our doggo appears to ask, this Fifteenth of Bleptember.

  • If the most significant thing you achieve this Fourteenth of Bleptember is that you find a good spot to lie in a sunbeam... that's still a win.

  • Does there exist a more contented moment for this bleppy doggo than getting to lounge on the sofa with her favourite humans?
