When I get a few free moments (read: a short series of consecutive, uninterrupted, totally me-time evenings), I am itching to finally finish something I have been thinking of doing (for so very long-- far longer than you might guess):

Learning a few new editing tricks in Photoshop (or procreate) so I can mimic the style of Something(tm) that I already have in mind.

Applying that knowledge to making a few new icons and then selecting one of those for my tumblr account ... and maybe using another one of those icons for a side account that I might have created shortly after I caught the CP2077 bug but have since ignored bc time, what is it?.

Messing around with tumblr themes because -- lol -- I need to use my shitty CSS knowledge for something better and more exciting than that Obsidian Monstrosity I've been custom theming.

#re my shitty css knowledge-- yeh #I think of it as shitty #but the truth of the matter is that I taught front end web dev #for many many years at the university level #while also playing the role of dev manager & architect #for a now-defunct piece of software #that at one point had a pretty sizable team of ppl grinding away #on the dev side and the design side of things #(all of whom reported to me at some level or another)#that said-- I still consider my css knowledge sort of shitty #especially when compared to people who #actually DO front end web dev as their day job #which i do not do #the last time Software Engineer / Architect #was literally my title as a full time employee in that roll #well-- I wasn't doing web dev and whenever I banged on front end #it was NOT for the web #(I was mostly concerned about designing APIs and #having serious thoughts about algorithms that needed #to compute tricky shit as quickly as possible)#also-- fixing typooooos in tags is impossble so fuccc dat shit #immm so tired #life is just --- give me some time to rest ffs
