I've been using Ryan's wallpapers since I first saw them during my work experience in an IT office in 1999/2000, and was blown away by it.
To this day they are still the only wallpapers I have on any device.

Who/what is "Digital Blasphemy"?? A🧵...

DB is me. My name is Ryan Bliss for the past 25 years I've been posting my 3D rendered wallpapers on a website that I coded myself. I'm a Web1.0 relic.

Just realised that it is now 10 years since I became a @NewsBlur premium member after gReader disappeared.
Thanks for making and running this for so long @samuelclay.
I still use it every day for all my news/blog feeds.

@TicketmasterCS Done - I already have a ticket open - just venting how poor this is

[Dave Shaw @xdaDaveShaw]

@TicketmasterUK @TicketmasterCS - I've been forced to reset my password by you to be "safe and secure", but can't get the email to trigger the process, so now I can't get into my account. How do I get in now?

If you're a programmer, you've learned at least one programming language.

You can learn Git, too. Do yourself a favour and learn Git from the command line. Understand the underlying model (it's a DAC). Compared to learning a PL it's trivial, but a game changer.

@ploeh Gets me every time!

@lara_irl I got lost just looking at that image :)

Was there life on Mars? @NASAPersevere, set to land today, will search for signs of ancient life and pave the way for future astronauts.

If the rover lands successfully, you’ll hear Yungblud’s cover of Bowie’s classic at the end of the #CountdownToMars: https://t.co/jVwzkuR6j2

@jongallant @martinwoodward I help people at work with git problems, and if they act embarrassed, I reassure them that I've had to delete my working copy, and applied patch files to get out of my mess and I've even deleted a GitHub fork once, because I messed up so bad.

@dblasphemy @Blender Pyre?

Happy #PortfolioDay 2021! My name is Ryan Bliss I try to create beautiful 3D environments and abstracts for use as desktop wallpaper. My gallery is probably one of the oldest continuously running sites on the Internet (est Feb 1997).
