In 3 days I'm going to a burn. Those of you who have been to the "big burn" (#BurningMan) or a regional burn (my fave) know what this means. It's a bunch of stress to get ready, prepare my life to accommodate 4-5 days absent, and pack everything I need (radical self-reliance, folks!). It also means I will be in a place with no hierarchies, no bosses, no schedules, awesome music (until about 4 a.m.; I bring ear plugs these days), art everywhere, ridiculous whimsy, silly costumes, people trying to feed me, people open to conversation and meeting me, people making music, people dancing, people reciting poetry, people being weird and accommodating--even celebrating--the weirdness of others, and just... I think these are my people. I don't love all of them, but I love a hell of a lot of them, and loving them is my first instinct.

Where in the world are the joyful motherfuckers, though?
Fearless lovers though, rainbow shooters though?
Wild acceptors though, the hopeful sinners though?
Gentle teachers though, true forgivers?
Les courageuses, les amoureuses?
Les enfants braves? les grand-mères jeunes? les lumineuses?

I think a lot of them are going to be in a forest in Pennsylvania in a few days.

Oh, yeah! #Plex got hacked!

They SAY passwords were hashed, but PLEASE #reset your plex #password and force a sign-out on ALL devices using their interface as follows:

When doing so, there's a checkbox to "Sign out connected devices after password change," which we recommend you enable.

Irritating...especially cos they don't say WHEN this happened!

Ich habe meinen Zyxel Access Point versehentlich falsch konfiguriert und bin nun ausgesperrt. Ein Factory Reset wäre nötig – nur ist der Reset-Knopf wie vom Erdboden verschluckt. Die Anleitung schwärmt vom Reset über die Web-Oberfläche, aber was tun ohne Zugriff darauf? Jetzt suche ich Infos zum passenden Konsolenkabel – doch auch da: kaum verwertbare Hinweise. Frust pur.

Buenas gente. Volví a desaparecer porque la vida volvió a darme un vuelco.

Perdí el trabajo por no encajar con el otro encargado, que "al parecer" yo preguntaba mucho.

Un amigo perdió a su padre, y casi me dejo de hablar con otro amigo por las movidas de una estúpida.

Entre otras muchas cosas.

Sigo dibujando, aunque no tanto en la agenda. Recuperaré el hábito.

Me gusta no perder este rincón de internet.
Tened un buen día

After 3 days of #socialising over Christmas, I took a day at home today and refused all invites of visiting/ visitors. I know some people get miffed by this, but I need my days to #reset and #refuel.
Took a walk and had a 2 hour nap.
The headache that has been building disappeared. Feel so much calmer and better tonight. Think I need to take tomorrow off socialising too, to get back to tip-top energy/ spoons (not that my spoons are ever tip-top...).

20 years and two weeks ago, I came up with undohtml.css and unknowingly invented the mechanism of CSS Resets (AKA reboot or reset style sheets¹) which spawned numerous variants, many still in broad use on the web today.

https://tantek.com/log/2004/09.html#d06t2354

A one sentence problem description, and a short paragraph describing my problem-solving, actions, license, link to less than 300 bytes of code (not counting comments), and a few future thoughts.

The rest of that blog post was about “debug scaffolding”, the part I thought was more interesting at the time.

Eric Meyer (@meyerweb.com @meyerweb@mastodon.social) followed up ~10 days afterwards with his thinking and improvements:
* https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2004/09/15/emreallyem-undoing-htmlcss/
where he mentioned “resetting” in passing, but not actually calling it a "reset".

~2.5 years later Eric published “Reset Styles” with further reasoning and improvements:
* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/12/reset-styles/
describing them as: “reset” or “baseline” set of styles.

Subsequently he iterated in several more blog posts:
* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/14/reworked-reset/
* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/18/reset-reasoning/ — this is Eric’s first post where he explicitly calls them “reset styles”, which I believe is the origin of the eventual phrase “CSS Reset” and “reset style sheets”
* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/ (yes a Matrix: Reloaded reference)

~6 months later Eric published his evergreen resource “CSS Tools: Reset CSS”
* https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
which, as you see within the URL: “css/reset”, is perhaps where the phrase “CSS Reset” comes from, and it’s also the label (link text) he gives that page in his UI about-page² and the first content link in his 404 page³.

My technology invention takeaways from all this:

1. if you find yourself repeatedly solving the same (especially annoying) problem, create a re-usable solution that works for you
2. write up your problem statement / use-case in only one sentence
3. publish your solution (on your personal site⁴), name it something short, with only a short paragraph description, and re-use/remix friendly license (like Creative Commons)

And things not to worry about (that may get in your way to publishing):

1. perfecting or making your solution “big enough” or “the right size”. does it solve your problem? then it’s already the right size.
2. coming up with the perfect name. instead, name it what it does. someone might come up with a better name weeks, months, or years later. let them run with it!
3. waiting to blog multiple things. I could have blogged undohtml.css by itself, probably should have, and instead lumped it into a blog post with another CSS thing I came up with.
