Getting my worlding game back on for #drawtober 2023.

Fixed a minor annoyance in Oekaki where the cursor didn't reflect the drag(alt/B) state. @eli_oat I feel like you might appreciate some of this for your accessibility work, this ties directly to plt. Road to #strangeloop On the eve of the talk, I sit at a table half-awake before what is to become sleepless night number four, 2 hours in waiting for my first real meal since leaving Victoria to arrive, blatter is coming down hard on this very loud, and very understaffed, and only available vegetarian place within walking distance from the hotel. And, my voice is gone, I can't speak. It wasn't one big mistake that fucked me this time, it was a thousand little oversights or expectations. I normally am a really careful planner when it comes to giving these sorts of technical talks, you wouldn't catch me going out the night before. I had assumed that the train would either carry the one vegetarian meal on the menu, or accommodate. After a first day of eating cold bread loaves with margarine, an altercation with an uncompromising attendant on the second day, I managed to secure myself a "Steamed Russet Potato A-la Tomato Sauce", for the third day aboard. Now that StrangeLoop is behind me, I've got two very exciting projects to tackle, Oquonie Playdate, and drawtober. I think about this video of French rollerbladers from 1923 at least once every month.

@neauoire It's a shame that this footage has been colourised. I should restore it. I like that the behaviour is no different.  Slept for 14 hours, crawled out to steal some fruits from the gym, and returned into my pillow fort to eat them.  @neauoire “In the first eight months of this year, there has not been a single successful escape from a Belgian prison. […] Prison escape in Belgium is not punishable by law.” https://www.thebulletin.be/no-prison-escapes-so-far-year-belgium #strangeloop is over. I feel like my entire body is animated by nothing but coffee at this point. I'm so ready to hibernate until spring.

In hindsight, going out last night to a loud place where you must shout to make yourself heard, was probably not a good idea. My voice is shut this morning.

Woke up quite unable to talk but @jack made me a lemon and honey tea and so I was able to give the talk. So the mask situation at Strange Loop is not great, but also, I probably sat by the one person who looked closest to the later stage of being bit by a zombie where I got coughed-on by ricochet for fourty minutes. I ran up, took a shower, burnt my clothes, it's mask on from now on. I've managed to miss every single scheduled slot for when they serve food at #strangeloop.

 @neauoire my first reaction: "ooh, fun, what other ways could you hack around this situation with the things found in the room?" Ten minutes of mental MacGyvering later: "wait, I completely ignored the core issue: the hotel should just give access to a kettle." Which is basically a perfect micro-example of "don't trust tech people to solve societal issues, they find it more interesting to find convoluted solutions to the wrong problems", isn't it?   Spent a few days in the train between Seattle and Saint Louis, met some wonderful people, like Anders and his ridiculous camera. The Lem Wiki has the best index/portal page.

  @neauoire Oof! I didn't want to jinx it by saying what I thought earlier, but this one had 52–48 (and the resulting way round) written all over it. Narrowly avoided.
