I'm a bit of an eclectic mess 🙂 I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

I tweaked the home timeline filtering a bit yesterday and with the observations overnight, I can say it is mostly a success 😛

What works? Again, my filtered home timeline was about 50 posts but my actual timeline was around 200+. So it is helping me keep my home timeline cleaner/clearer.

What didn’t work? Well, turns out that the post fetching on Tusker goes a little wonky if the whole fetched batch is filtered out. This appears to be a UI bug which doesn’t take the filtering into account since I added a new option yesterday to not totally hide filtered items but to show a tiny row indicating an item was filtered out. Then the UI works fine. Maybe I’ll spend the weekend trying to figure out where the bug is.

But for the moment, seeing what is filtered out visually is kind of useful since I can see which hashtags/users generate the most content that’s filtered out and consider if perhaps I should organise things differently etc.

There were about eight or ten hunkered in the backyard late yesterday afternoon, anticipating the chilling winter winds that shortly began to blow through, sharp and tinseled with ice, as the cold clouds blurred out the moonrise. So chonky and floomfed (those are both words, right?).

Mark Tisdale Art 🏳️‍🌈

Based on multiple memories of watching the sunset on the Pacific from trips to North America's west coast. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm not a morning person so I love seeing the sunset in the ocean more than rise over it. So these are fond memories.

The older I get, the more I regret all the people l've lost over the years.
Maybe being a trail guide wasn't such a great idea after all.

We need fewer "opinion" columnists and more investigative journalists. Or heck, just journalists who report facts in as unbiased a manner as possible.

I think one way we move toward that is by throwing money at the types of journalism that have value. I'll throw it open here: if I have money to put toward a subscription, where would that be best spent?
