The Mandelbear's Musings

Public Service Announcement: RainbowCon 2.1 is happening here the first weekend in May.

Word of the week: Trumpery. noun, plural trumperies.
1. something without use or value; rubbish; trash; worthless stuff.
2. nonsense; twaddle. (h/t to ysabetwordsmith)

Another bad week. My finances are dangerously close to the edge; if I don't get a job within the next couple of months I'll be in serious trouble. N. points out that I only have to work for a year or so to both replace the hit to my savings and keep the household above water for the rest of the five years we're planning to stay here. But that assumes that I find work, and my track record is not encouraging.

Case in point: I've done a little more Project Planning, and quite a bit of research into languages and frameworks, but no actual programming. Talk's cheap. (If I were getting paid for it, that would be another matter. But I don't think I can offer much of value for patrons at this point. Working on it.)

The careful reader may have noticed that neither self confidence nor self care are among my strong points.

Highlights among the week's links are Purrli, the Online Cat Purr Generator, and Seedship.
