Ladies And Gents: alap.info I've been hinting about a project for a while... Web Links should offer choice, when it makes sense. beta + web site to check out simple expression lang, tons of examples yes, we can make dynamic menus that include #Atproto data apache license, see repo

Perhaps we will have a gentle sort of AI takeover... apps like "Washer", will be "Uber, in reverse".. where sentient cars summon humans to come wash them. "Frankie arrives in 6 minutes, with the premium loofah sponges and turtle wax"

an excellent introduction to Jev: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgXe...

Jev will be great as an AI that can classify things... I know I'll have fun But be wary: there'll be many overnight "Jev experts" that'll promise the world. Poorly written queries might drop email / customer results on the floor. Test your assumptions well! "measure twice, cut once"

My bet on what Apple will call their September Event (based on the Airpod w/Camera video): "it's Hear See"

Wish we could just play the Bronze game again #WorldCup

There is gonna be such a huge Tariff on Brussels Sprouts 💰 #WorldCup

Looking at you, Bosnia ⚽🇺🇸 #WorldCup #USAvBIH

Ah, #Instagram down, and I can hear the birdies chirping outside.. nature is healing 🦋🤖🌴

remind the #knicks that the basket is right there with them in MSG, and not way off in Brooklyn

Updated my resume, and open to a variety of web dev / ai / creative + tech projects. If someone asked me what my ideal would be: developing the ideas on alap dot info (the resume uses alap in a couple of spots) It also points to the pdf, word, and ats/text versions resume.dansmithcreates.org

MIssing #nurburgring - got to see it in 1999. Track map on my old ///M3 :)

I gotta say, if you are racing fan, check out the #nurburgring #n24 - I love F1, but this scene is such a breath of fresh air. So many different car classes! Being streamed on YT

Silly prediction, #npm ecosystem and supply chain attacks: some developers will throw their hands up, and say "Claude, dupe the functionality of these packages, so we no longer depend on them" basically a self-silo, self-defensive move. (not what I would do today, but I can see how some would)

Soon.. Alap 3.2, Gather, and Pal 🐕

and a peek at :json: protocol, where we might get multiple fields, for use in making a lightbox or a lens (or just thumbnails alongside a menu....) that's all for now, except to say "look, a link does not have to be this fixed thing that just goes to one place.. we've been doing that 35 years!"

coming in alap 3.2, I wrote a tutorial that walks through how to write a protocol (reaching out to a data source that can at least give an array of labels and links). This one is :hn: (Hackernews)

alap doing async dynamic menu loading this is some :atproto:

Looking for additional web dev work I would like to get 10 or more hours a week of a gig where I can: * leverage my decades of web experience + AI, to bring ideas to life * help refactor old projects, etc See github.com/DanielSmith and alap.info (and yes, I rewrote grabchars recently, as well)

My new name for LinkedIn is "Bad Takes as a Disservice". Am looking for recs on SF Bay / West Coast Slacks / Discords for creative / techy folks. also posting: SHA256 of private authorship proof file e1a8ae594ab7b0a042d1623f641134f922ddfc7345e522ccf65e67f5b8dab065

We just flew 1/4 million miles, can we get out now please? 🚀🧑‍🚀 #artemis

is funny how they did the improv "t shirt shroud" for #artemis for the next mission they will give it some official name... "artemis, adjust the FLD at window 2 orientation" "understood, Houston, tweaking Fabric Light Diffuser"

wondering about #artemis videography.. didnt they take a lunar telescope to continuously video record? Seems a long way to go, just to rely on a few Nikons (w/400mm lens) and a few SD cards... I mean, we'll get great images, but I would think they would be recording terabytes of telescope (?)

I just love all the planning that goes into #artemis and yet, "T-shirt shroud" 📷 🚀 go artemis go!

My new post on Medium about alap gist is: we have had 35 years of static links, one target. I think we can improve on that, and do so in an open format. ...and we can dynamically call @atproto.com endpoints, while we're at it. alap.info javajoint.medium.com/alap-v3-reth...

Happy 50th Birthday #Apple 🍎

something I have been thinking about for 30 years

The Scene: Open with 1992. The terminal is black, the text is green (or amber), and you are navigating the web using the Lynx browser....

this article is where I was, 5 years ago... a proof of concept, and a couple of editors. I recently took the idea off the shelf, and dusted it off. I cant wait to show you what I just did this month.. complete rewrite... javajoint.medium.com/alap-menus-f...

am releasing a beta soon.... this idea about the web that a link only goes to one place, well.. it's always bugged me, for ~30 years ⏳ so I did something about it, and could use a few eyes to take an early look, ping me 👀 (yep I did a complete rewrite of one my old ideas) 🕸️

javajoint.medium.com/36-years-lat...

grabchars 2.1 — my CLI keystroke utility, rewritten in Rust. One tool for y/n prompts, filtered input, masked fields, selection menus, timeouts with defaults. New in 2.1: JSON output, fuzzy filtering, ESC handling. cargo, Homebrew, AUR, GitHub. github.com/DanielSmith/grabchars

a little teaser... will soon release a 2.0 version of something that I last updated in... 1990!

New England Punt-riots 🦶🏈

If they were playing by the river in DC, it would be the Punt-omac 🏈

most defensive game I've ever seen.. perhaps? 🏈
