I should add, you should never do this as it's evil and bad and will arguably break when Gulp updates and changes something.

In the meantime, here's how I did it.

Today's work: a ridiculous Gulp.js script. Hacking console.log calls into a simplified UI, including a progress bar. https://t.co/GkLi1FXnqp

@karankendre Back in my day (until 2007), we didn't have `border-radius` in CSS - and we resorted to 4+ absolutely-positioned <div> elements to make it work. Damn kids, get off my lawn! ;)

Two months' work in a two-second .GIF. 😆

[Scott Schiller @schill]

20+ hours of video shot over two months, distilled to a few seconds: the restoration of a legendary AKAI MPC 60 drum machine. Stay tuned.

Ah-ha: The Spotify integration is back for djay on iOS and Android. Most excellent news. https://t.co/VMsjiv0yKB

[Scott Schiller @schill]

Spotify / djay integration returns on Windows, but not on iOS: IMHO, the most important one. (Presumably, license / contract-related.) https://t.co/pFARmuM4tJ

Sometimes, things just line up. Night sky, with light from flame while camping. Super, natural British Columbia. 🏕️✨

Four years ago today, I took delivery of some new specialized weather sensing equipment. How time flies.

As I always say, it is a huge privilege and an honour to have and to bring surprise, joy and delight to people. #BTTF #Delorean

Ongoing side quest / final boss challenge: 5.25" floppy drives via USB. 💾

PC-98, 77-track / 1232KB format working, the holy grail of course is 1.2 MB. Stay tuned. https://t.co/CY3Zq5Wz5J

I bought my first car twenty years ago today: a 2005 Toyota Celica. Still have it, practically mint; recently hit 30,000 miles.

In retrospect, my "alternate choices" list (from my blogging days) has aged well. I forgot about that.

Given the chance:
1) Meet your heroes.
2) Say thanks, and keep it brief.
3) When in doubt, bring extra plutonium. ☢️😆

Work in progress: Discord + Slack webhook support. Share real-time results with friends online, nicely-formatted.

Bless the folks live-streaming video game footage on YouTube labeled as "Super Bowl 2025." Tens of thousands of people watching, eventually figuring out something is not quite right - sort of like the video loop in "Speed." 🚌📼

[Scott Schiller @schill]

I like to think I haven't changed all that much, of course; I still have too much fun making whimsical things in web browsers. https://t.co/N2sWRLTQtq

[Scott Schiller @schill]

Twenty years ago today was my first day working at Yahoo! HQ in Silicon Valley proper.

I got to meet my heroes, work with some great people and build some fun things at scale. It was a pivotal career experience, and I owe it to a number of folks who believed me worth hiring.

[Scott Schiller @schill]

World Cancer Day, and Facebook's birthday - both today. How about that.

SDL Sopwith, ported from the original from 1984 and playable in-browser, and there's also a network version!

Fun game with a unique network-based company backstory. Watch out for those flocks of birds - and the CPU player, too; real nasty. 😅 🛩️ https://t.co/4FMkOIlBQS
