  1. tenth book of 2024: “Pnin", by Vladimir Nabokov. Nice.

    the current Vintage International paperback cover of “Pnin” by Vladimir Nabovkov, as I read it:a black leather frame that is set on and shadows a white field contains a bow tie constructed of two or three pieces of maroon paper covered with the lowercase typewritten letters p, n, i, and n in repetitive 8 letter blocks is affixed to white board with sewing pins.and a strip of cream paper with “Pnin” typewritten below,

  2. unexpected tiling window manager bonus: image popovers immediately get tiled to the same size

    I never really got into these things because I guess it never occurred to me that they would have pleasant margin options for single app configs, which for some reason I kinda prefer (tiled round rect windows and drop shadows at 0px margin and padding look weird, to me)

    I’ve used Moom ( https://manytricks.com/moom/) for years, it’s great.

    now I’m playing with Amethyst ( https://manytricks.com/moom/) instead.

    screenshot of a computer desktop with the mastodon application Ivory open and filling nearly the entire screen. floating over Ivory’s main window is an image open in a window about 1/3 the size of the main window by volume, which seems to have been the default way to “show image” since lightbox.js ten or fifteen years ago or whatever.

    the same image loaded on the same computer with nothing changed except that Amethyst is running and instantly yoinked the image to fill the entire screen, which is always what I wanted when I tell the computer to “show image” or whatever, instead of lightbox.js style nonsense

    SAN FRANCISCO

    THE INDUSTRIAL CITY

    pretty nice, always wanted to do that.

    it’s a little 2 mile loop with a steep stepped shortcut up from the bottom to the top. also, you can walk on the letters. also also, if you bring cardboard you can slide on a few of them even.
