#Mayllennial – Unprecedented Times

Welcome to Day 3, the topic today is of course Sailor Moon Fansites. Or maybe its "Unprecedented times." I think there is probably a meme for this somewhere. Oh wait, here it is. Aside from the "before 40" bit. Because technically I am like, right on the edge of Millennial and Gen X. Also this meme is a few years old so its probably missing some shit. I am not real sure where this one is going to go, but there is a good chance I really get going here. Something something US Pol. If you aren't a dumbass MAGA…

#Mayllennial – Digital Pets

Day two of this month long writing challenge, how long shall I last?! Actually, this one could maybe be short. Because its "Digital Pets.". I was never really into Digital Pets, I guess? I had a Digimon Digivice, but I don't think I ever had a real Tamagotchi. On the other hand, I was into Pokemon. Like, a lot. In yesterday's "90s websites" post, I mentioned The Chaos Xone. My other website baby at the time was The Geocities Sailor Moon Fanpage Center. I mean, The Geocities Pokemon Center. Like, I liked Pokemon enough that I created my second website…

#Mayllennial – 90’s Websites

Today's topic, 90s Websites. I can, definitely attest to this one, I spent a lot of the 90s online. Hell, I have spent a lot of my life online. But I also ran some 90s websites. Back before wordpress and social media and micro-posting. There was not even a place to share. We didn't even really have RSS to keep up on things. I feel like I have mentioned it before, but this site started out as a 90s site on Geocities called The Chaos Xone. Because in the 90s, X was Xool like that. It's a versatile letter, it…

#Mayllennial

Get ready for a month of daily posts! Seriously, I have already written all most some of them. I came across this random Bluesky Skeet that was reposted by someone I follow. All of the topics seemed pretty doable and maybe interesting. Also, depending on how you slice it, I am technically on the bleeding front edge of Millennial. I certainly sympathize a lot more with Millennials I think, though I also don't really subscribe to the while Boomer Gen X Gen Y, Gen Z nonsense. I was also at the moment in a very weird funk of really kind…

Code Project – JavaScript +AI – TIAI Quest I

On the last episode of TWIT, Harry McCracken, a fairly regular panelist and The Technologizer, was a guest and mentioned he had used Claude Code to update an old game he had made in BASIC as a web version using Claude Code. He wrote about it here. Anyway, It gave me the idea of basically, doing the same, for the little RPG thing I had made for my TI-85 Calculator in High School.  It was interesting enough that I had distributed it a bit to other people in school who played it as well, which was tricky of course because…

Code Project – Python – Flask Microblog Fixes

Claude is pretty great for creating code, but sometimes you have to actually look at the code. I have blogged quite frequently about my Microblog project. It started as a simple script that just ran on a timer with a manually filled queue, then it pulled from my shared RSS reader feed, and now its basically a full on blog platform. One hang up, it has been double posting posts, but not always. I asked Claude, several times, to comb through and figure out why this is, and each time it "fixed" the problem, but didn't. So I took a…

Fixing my Chevy Sonic Climate Controls

I had a little unexpected project recently with my car. And one that went better than fixing the window, which just failed and resulted in a returned part and a window that no longer functions. I was adjusting the blower setting on the air conditioner and there was a stiff turn before it just, stopped working. The knob still turned but the blower was stuck on "blow out the main vents." I would have been less worried if it were any season except winter, but its winter, so eventually, I will need the defroster. After checking online to confirm that…
