Good morning, friends. I’m up and about. Even better, the cloud cover has finally blown out and we have clear skies for the first time in a week.
We spent yesterday just lounging around. I spent the day trying to fix the latest bug in my WordPress plugin, finally fixing it some time after dinner. Shawshank caught me angry typing at Skynet. I’ve found it’s sometimes easier to get the AI to give me the entire function with all the edits in place rather than patching it in myself. I’ve also found it needs to be closely supervised when I do that, because a lot of times it will only focus on the part I’m fixing.




I’m particularly amused by its cheerful, “You’re almost there!” Bitch, I would’ve been there four steps ago if you hadn’t decided to cull my code.
But once again, it’s working. I keep tweaking little things, like adding icons/emojis to make it look more like a real, proper plugin. At the moment, the entry manager handles both editing/removing entries and performance stats. It outputs a list of all the entries because I wanted to build a simple base. Then, I went and got fancy with individual entry performance stats, but it still has the list under the editing form. I know that as I add entries, the list will be more of an issue, and I should probably work on making the entry editing page more streamlined.
Between attempts at fixing the code I break daily, I played Skyrim and “Balatro“. It wasn’t a good day for cards or punch cats. I got through a couple of games of Balatro before switching to Skyrim. I started a quest in Skyrim, but I’m a bit underleveled for it and gave up. I probably should have just gone with my original plan of taking a nap with Chaucer.
Shawshank‘s working the morning shift today. I plan to assume a human form, stream a bit, and make some waffles to restock my brunch stockpile.
