I really like ampersands, but do you know what I don’t like?

The word “of” having letters

Much like “and”, it needs persanding

#include <stdio.h> #ampersands

Fixing timing issues by cooling the conductor to his superconducting transition temperature so she becomes competent

You know, the "science and maths" autism isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially if you also get the "unable to focus" autism as a side-dish

#include <stdio.h> #autism #the science and maths autism #ok that might actually be adhd #who knows really #they do tend to come as a package deal #might have to look into that a little more #a word here meaning I already have a great deal

Are you sick of gentle rapping on your chamber door?

Sick of visitors entreating entrance late into the night?

Sick, of having to implore forgiveness for napping and nearly missing tapping on your chamber door?

Well, nevermore, with all-new A Big Pile of Sand

#include <stdio.h> #the raven #edgar allan poe #billy mays #I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote this #I don't even know if I find it funny #it's stupid and decidedly odd though #so it's good enough for me

Fact-Check: Most transfems are NOT enhanced by just physically absorbing the personification of their mental health issues, they generally require an entire town

#include <stdio.h> #transgender #celeste #guilty gear #the town inside me

DougDoug streams are, by far, at their funniest when they go way off-track,

For example, the cologne advertisement tier list ending with Doug desperately trying to fly Parkzer to New Zealand, via Air New Zealand, of course, after it beat out Cologne Germany

#include <stdio.h> #dougdoug #new zealand #parkzer #colonge #colonge germany

Everybody always asks “How now brown cow?” but never “Why now brown cow?”

This holiday season, let the brown cow in your life let you know you love them with all-new Adverb II from Latin’s new summer blockbuster Sequor Adverbium, in dictionaries now

#include <stdio.h> #how now brown cow #ls the extent of my ability to tag this #truly #a masterpiece of incomprehensibility

Balllesss jam

My stupid court eunuchs won't even scheme with me. All they do is smoke and make shitty EDM in their tower.

#include <reblog.h> #I'm sorry #this is the worst pun I've ever made #I think #dawless jam #being the pun #still a better idea than the TE table

Welcome to autism, please choose your hyperfixation sub-class:

Inordinately expensive

Riddled with issues

Incredibly obscure

#include <stdio.h> #autism #neurodivergent #I've got ones in each subclass #plus some that multi-class #but I'm yet to acquire one that fits all three #I'm open to reccomendations

I wonder what class of murder this falls under

“average person founds 1*10^-11 corporations that produce microphones for both Hitler and The Beatles" factoid actualy (sic) just statistical error. average person founds 0 corporations that produce microphones for both Hitler and The Beatles, Georg Neumann who lived from 13 October 1898 to 30 August 1976 & founded 1 in 1928, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

nobody gets excited about seeing an organism like trans people who named themselves after that organism

Would you look at that, one whole year on the hellsite

I really was a different person back then

I didn't know the term "hellsite" for one

So, to avoid getting all emotional, I'm going to review the FAQ, and see how accurate it is

First up, IDE, language, and programming skill remain right on the money, a year's not enough to change that

But, oh my, the whole "programming blog" thing died out quick

Turns out, I don't really have that much to say on the topic

But, I was right about how often I'd post, weekly, despite having no idea that it'd end up being like that at the time

oh, and, I've never brought up either photography, or warhammer, other than this post, so, that bit aged badly, but, could get better

So, pretty good

Now, time to look forward, for exciting New Content, and other stuff

First and foremost, I'm going to start reblogging stuff, up until now, I've just… not, and never thought to start

I think part of me wanted to keep the blog "clean", but, fuck that, re-blogs are on the menu

Not to imply they're going to be a common thing, but, they will exist now, and then

Anyway, that's all folks, see you next Wednesday for more nonsense, next year for more sincere yearly updates, and next decade for next programming post

Oh, and, can't forget, next major series coming 2025, it'll be content, I have been assured

Hello World

Oh, look at that, I've made a Tumblr account

I honestly expected making and subsequent using of a Tumblr account to end up in my pile of things I plan to do at some point, but inevitably never get round to doing

But, it seems that Tumblr will not be one of those

So, as I've very little idea what else to talk about in this post, time for some FAQ:

Are you actually pathetic at programming?

I wouldn't say pathetic, but relatively-decent-based-on-my-level-of-experience-but-below-average-overall programming person doesn't quite have the same ring to it

What content will this page contain?

My random ramblings, mostly with a programming theme

How often will you post said ramblings?

I've no idea, but if I had to guess, around once a week

Favourite programming language?

C, good, old-fashioned, non-incremented C

Favourite IDE?

CLion, which, incidentally, is what I wrote this post with, with its excellent support for Markdown, unlike Tumblr's quite limited markdown support, you can't even do nested quotes, or horizontal rules, which made writing this post quite difficult

Will there be non-programming content on here?

Yes, mostly from my other assorted hobbies, such as photography, Warhammer, writing lists of hobbies, etc

I don't know how to end off this post, so I guess I'll just

#include <stdio.h> #No idea how to tag this #as normal #1 year tumblrversary #showed up when I typed in “1 year” #so I assume that that's the intended tag

I didn't think I'd get genuinely emotional over the death of Gerald Fjord, but, here we are

#include <stdio.h> #Gerald Ford #Gerald Fjord #DougDoug #I'm not even joking #Gerald's death actually has made me a bit emotional #I'm well aware he can be brought back #but still #stop tugging on my heartstrings Douglas

I must say, I did enjoy the television channel ran by the family-friendly media empire, and its assorted spin-off channels, not sure why they made its leitmotif the musical representation of Death though...

#include <stdio.h> #dies irae #alex lasarenko #I've had this in my folder of assorted Stuff for ages #no idea how I came across it in the first place #rather funny
