Did some work on Signbrary over the last few days. Added the ability to use websites in the slide deck, which is good for pulling up live information, social media screens, etc.
Over the next day or so I’ll fold in WebM support for video, and that’ll go alongside the already existing MP4 support. #WritingCode #LibraryLife
It's a Dougie MacLean sort of morning.

Good morning, I have two thumbs and updated 9468 top container records in ArchivesSpace to add their locations. Takes a simple CSV pairing top container IDs and locations.
Code is here: https://github.com/ruthtillman/ASpaceASnake/blob/master/batch-update-top-containers.py
and README here: https://github.com/ruthtillman/ASpaceASnake#batch-update-top-containers---batch-update-top-containerspy
#TIL how to make AutoHotkey watch a Polaris Find Tool status bar for the word "Done."
Which means it no longer matters to my automation scripts how long it takes to look up a record. It'll just keep checking for the word Done every tenth of a second. #librarylife #librarynerd
Dr. Katie Bouman, whose work on the algorithm made it possible to photograph a black hole, pictured when the image was first processsd.
Two years ago, she did a TED talk on how scientists might take a photo of a black hole.
Absolutely mind blowing.
Leave it to xkcd to explain something awesome, and make it even more awesome.

Here is a side by side comparison of todays released EHT Reconstruction and a simulation that matches the result.
I don't think words can express how amazingly freaking awesome this is.
The first image of a black hole!
Hey! Here’s a life fact!
When you take the meat thermometer out of its tube that’s clipped to top of your shirt, stick it in the meat on the grill for a minute, and then put it back in its tube?
It’s damn near the same temperature as your grill.
And shit burns yo.
So last night I did some of the most ah-mazing, markedly graceful, absolutely Olympic class falling down the fucking stairs.
Oh my god everything hurts.
On Reddit, there was a discussion about the show Bear in the Big Blue House. I pointed out that Shadow's Lullaby is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.

A kind stranger said I'd probably like the band Hem. So I tired them.
Been mainlining their entire catalogue since:

Here's something you rarely hear in daily speech:
"I think I'm going to have to get a real keytar."
Seriously, I've noodled with this Rock Band keytar hooked into general MIDI for years now. I think I've done all that I can with it and it won't work with Logic Pro X so... yeah.
Today I took some online training at work. I studied customer service, situational awareness, and active shooters.
That escalated quickly.
These are my books. There are many like them but these are the ones I wrote.
