I'm an inventor and problem solver. I specialize in website architecture, development, and design. Check me out on GitHub. I also build static websites!

@Hot2ndCousin @3xcalibaneur This is standard on coastal cities. FTE can be about 100-125 elsewhere. Rates are lowering slightly due to economic pressure. My rate has stagnated despite decades of experience. It’s tough out there being human.

@TafferKing451 I appreciate this, especially since I am no longer purchasing with GOG. I do wish Steam would provide setup executables though. Even an ISO would be fine with me.

One of the many problems with countering lies is it takes two seconds to lie and a lot more effort to share truth.

The truth in this case is that 13 years ago some terrorists stole a USAID tent.

13 years later a trillionaire manipulates that photo to lie.

I'm going to bed.

April 1991: Bobby Prince wrote to @idSoftware about the painstaking work of finding the right sound for Commander Keen.

This letter captures so much of Bobby: curious, generous, technical, musical, & fully committed to making games sound better than anyone thought they could.

@SandyofCthulhu Every year I play Gahan Wilson’s Ultimate Haunted House. I am not a horror gamer, though I enjoy a good Munsters-like experience. I don’t have any mechanic to add, however it is nice to see the Haunted House get some love.

@ID_AA_Carmack I bought the collectors edition second hand when I started working. I’m playing these games from those discs or diskettes from my childhood. Excluding the CRT, it is a time capsule experience for me. The first thing I truly missed was Bobby Prince’s influence.

[MB @mookman288]

@ID_AA_Carmack I was brought up on keen and doom. I played quake last night for the first time. There is a different element to it. It’s like when the US changed in the early 00s. The love is different. Still there, just different. Code is art and innately human. You can feel the changes.

@TylerGlaiel They subsidize steam sales by lowering the price of their games to pennies on the dollar. Even if they didn’t subsidize the machine like the deck, they could have bundled half a dozen valve games, skins, or cosmetics to make up the difference.

Bobby Prince is a rockstar of my childhood. One of my absolute favorite videos is the visit to id Software in November of 1993; Bobby Prince's portion is the best part:

His influence on video game music is legendary to me.

It appears that Bobby Prince has died. Doom - Quake - Rise of the Triad - Duke Nukem. So SO many more. I can say this is someone who composed a song just for me. Not many people can say that. Dude's a legend. RIP my old friend.

@Andrath1975 @EddCoates My only concern is the resource usage. Barebones systems that serve static pages wouldn’t be able to support Anubis. There are a lot of websites still running on the equivalent of shared hosting that can’t afford the added resource costs.

@alittleleader Oh hey, burro e pomodoro on my feed. I like to invert the onion and then you have a delicious little onion treat in the core after cooking.

[MB @mookman288]

@michaelpatron0 There is a weird disconnect with small business owners who do not see the inherent value in strong and reliable conversion pathways. Websites aren’t investments, they are draining costs. A slight increase in their base rate would result in considerable tech infrastructure.

@Engineer_Wong When I bought it we were all grasping at straws trying to find any way to stay protected.

No bestie, you cannot pay me to crochet something for you.

First of all, the yarn for that project costs $50.

It’s going to take 60 hours to complete. If you’re offering me minimum wage (but I’ve been doing this for years so really?),

60 x $15.15 = $909
+ cost of yarn = $959

That blanket is gonna run you almost $1,000. 😅

And that is why you cannot find real crocheted items in stores.

And why you should hug your grandmama when she crochets something for you.

@davidfowl Same. Building it from scratch to understand the tooling. I would prefer to not build my future replacements but the future seems to be this.

[MB @mookman288]

@davidtranwd The money is worth the support alone. 20 per month is as cheap as it gets for the dedication of the Resend team. I don’t know of any company better.

Is coachella this year just an advertisement for smoking?

[PT @talpostal]

There's a certain level of customer service rage where all you can do is go on twitter and bitch about it. Got completely screwed by @Rally_House and have found it impossible to get in touch with a human there. Just totally aghast at how much they fucked up this situation.
