Apropos of nothing, if you're considering switching from a recently deprecated browser and want to try Firefox, I just landed `Copy Tab URL` in nightly - it's not bound by default but a quick visit to `about:keyboard` will let you set it, and also take a glance at the other neat shortcuts we have.

I built a game for September (actually I've been working on it since July). Inspired by Waldschattenspiel. www.keithcirkel.co.uk/dungeon/ The explorer must escape the dungeon, the monster must find them before they do. My first multiplayer game! I'm sure there are many bugs. Networking is hard. https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/dungeon/

I just released avash: www.keithcirkel.co.uk/avash/ It’s like blurhash but uses av1 frame data encode an image, resulting in a (typically) more readable image in the same bytes as a blurhash. https://github.com/keithamus/avash https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/avash/

I want Custom Attributes to exist - think Custom Elements (Web Components) but Attributes. I've been working on a proposal, specs, and now a polyfill: https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/custom-attributes-polyfill/ More coming soon!

I'm still making 1 game per month. I'm counting this new one for the month of August and you can't stop me. Defrag: Time to defrag some disks. www.keithcirkel.co.uk/defrag/ https://www.keithcirkel.co.uk/defrag/

That feeling when your Yack Stack is so high that you're running out of disk space with the amount of git worktrees you have (yes this is Rust. Yes I am using cargo sweep).

I've been playing this all day, addicting as it is frustrating. Love all the little details like how satisfying it is to shoot the rocks. If you're looking for something to take out your rage on between compiles this is a good free web game. farfield.mttshw.com [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I really love my job. I thought I'd always be a web developer, but developing the web is so much more fun! Adding new features for ~4bn customers is such a satisfying feeling.
