I was waiting for the bus / am now on the bus this fine morning, and I had a spatter of thoughts.
- An app called Busd. You would say what bus and stop you want, and it would allow you to see if anyone would trade a seat for not a seat, or something similar for a “tip”. Probably add bus ratings, warnings of really terrible dill holes, and “bus buddies” as other features. I’m pretty sure it’s totally a violation of the policies on my local bus system. This is not a serious idea.
- I want to give another look at my previous idea for light beer or whatever I was calling it when I was going to add lights to beer bottles. I never got back to it because it turns out that hot melt sticks terribly to beer bottles. I might get back to the original idea some day, this was like two years ago that I found out about the hot melt issue, but I think it’ll take grinding, cutting, or drilling glass and I just don’t want to deal with that most days. Especially for something that’s basically an incredibly over designed, sized and hyped night lite. So for light beer ii, the second pour I’m gonna switch up the original idea. I got a wicked looking four-pack last night of cans, yes I’m both italicizing and calling out the italicizing of a single word. But yeah, the cans are wicked and I don’t want to just pitch them. I’m thinking as I can-by-can extract their delicious bounty that I’ll clean them out. Once they’re clean and dry, I’ll look at least destructive ways to carve off the bottom. I have other cans I can work with also for practice. Now with bottomless beer cans it’ll be time to mount something up through the bottom to hold whatever light source, with wiring and mount points coming out the pour hole. I’m thinking posable work lights. I might try to turn one into a cantenna.
- I need to look at a way to extract all these posts as raw markup or whatever. I’m still thinking of migrating away from WordPress, but I have something like 800 posts of random gibberish, but it’s my gibberish. I’ve burned a website in a pique of annoyance before, and I miss whatever stupid things will never be seen again. I know there are probably tools for what I want, but it’s interesting to roll your own. I wonder if I can just dump the entire SQL table as a csv. That’d make things easy.
Out.
