Now is probably a good time for an #Introduction. My name is Daryn ๐ and my wife and I reside in sunny St. Petersburg Florida. We live in a super cool home with a koi pond and 4 koi. Aside from the koi, we have 4 cats (https://mstdn.social/@kryosleep/108220994173785749), a bearded dragon named Gummy, and 2 black stray cats that come see us on the daily ๐ (and nightly ๐ ). I turned 41 just recently but have had the gift of a youthful face bestowed upon me. Iโm a Sr. UX/UI Developer that writes a ton of #JavaScript #CSS and #vuejs. Iโm also a traditional and digital artist (working in #Procreate on an iPad 12โ with the Pencil) trying to regain footing. Iโm not new to Mastodon but am new to this server and am looking forward to making more connections!
Wiley is feeling much better. He's eating, drinking, and yelling at me a lot again. #catsofmastoton #mainecoon
general rant, non-political, tongue-in-cheek
I love my fancy last name, but the space and the period in it have brought me nothing but hell since the day 1. I had a phone and could receive phone calls, and 2. the day I started creating accounts that required me to type it into ancient computer systems.
- Websites that auto-create an avatar with initials assume the "St." is a middle name, so the initials end up being "DP"
- Computer systems (TODAY IN THE YEAR 2022) still have trouble adding a space and a period. So if I get a call from someoneโlegit or spamโthey ask "Is this Daryn Pierre?"
I actually had someone once say "is this Mr. Daryn... Stuh-Pierre-y?"
Nails on the fucking chalkboard. There have actually been times where I told them "no, that's not me."
I'm immediately reminded of xkcd's Little Bobby Tables comic โ https://xkcd.com/327/

Iโm thinking of replacing Windows 7 on my gaming laptop with a flavor of #Linux. What would be a good candidate for widest game and hardware support? My last distro on my other laptop was Mint.

I nearly forgot that I bought this poster. Signed by Romero himself! I need to get it framed and on the office wall (in a place where my wife doesnโt have to look at these nerds all day).

Happy Friday the 13th! ๐ก๏ธ
I've been writing #JavaScript for ages (for better or worse; it's such a mess) and I'm finally getting the hang of #TypeScript to make my life easier.
My wife told me about the 20/20/20 rule today when it comes to eye strain while working:
"After 20 minutes of work, look at something 20 feet away. Then go and spend 20 years in the forest."
Our friendly pond puppers say hello ๐ #fish #koifish #mastopets
