Err, "carry", some Wikipedia articles carry
Like I said, my internet english no good
Today I learned that some Wikipedia articles carries a "spoken word" version also. Sometimes they are a little outdated. They must be still useful.

This article on mourning dove, for example, has one:

Using multiple keyboards so you can have *even more* keybindings in Emacs! http://jordekang.tk/posts/rus-kbd.html
The other visitor of whose picture I managed to take was not a visitor at all, but a local resident.
Yesterday's visitor reportedly stayed a very long time and ate all the sunflower seeds. But by the time I got home and set up to take a picture, they showed me their butt and left.

Hey #Fediverse. When you post pictures, please please please with puppies on top fill in that description box for the visually impaired. You will be helping us out tremendously. We want to enjoy your pictures as much as others do. You don't have to write a novel, but just fill in some details.
Thanks with much love:
A Blind Dude

More #smolfrens:
- pretty yellow butterfly on milkweed
- ladybug eating oleander aphid on milkweed pod
- big black-and-cream hornet thing jealously guarding a bit of poop among the morning glories

Another plant with a great common name.
Devil's bit - Ura bhallach - Succisa pratensis
Named, apparently, because the devil was so annoyed at this herb's healing powers that he bit-off the roots. Related to Teasels.
These #flowers are common in wet places across the #Highlands

Found my first Jagged Ambush Bug (genus Phymata) of the summer! A reptilian-looking creature, yellow and dark purple and covered in elaborate spikes and flanges, hiding in Queen Anne's Lace.

Also reposting this on the new instance:
If any mastodon devs are looking for design help and would like a hand from the original designer of blogger.com, who recently redesigned the WordPress.com Reader, and wrote an early book on the design of community spaces online, let me know because I can put you in touch with him.
Because he’s me. Hi. Let’s talk.

Finding new people to follow is hard for newbies on any platform. I'm hoping that #Trunk can help. What I need is people volunteering to be on lists so newbies can follow a bunch of people right away. Please reply to this post if you agree to be on a list. Feel free to suggest new lists that I haven't thought of. (Living in my own filter bubble, I know!) Please boost!

Also looking for more lists. 😃

Who wants to work with me and @dajbelshaw, developing the #ActivityPub based #federated back-end for #MoodleNet?
We're looking for a #developer familiar with #Elixir (or transferable skills like #Erlang and #RubyOnRails).
The whole project will be #FOSS and you can work from home, what's not to love ;-) Please RT!

Today a swallowtail and a sulphur (?) came by, at the same time.
As I was taking their pictures, a robin pooped on my right foot from high up a tree.
Naughty, naughty robin!
Saturday's visitor stayed a long while, and wanted to come inside: stayed and knocked on the windows and front door.
Was it you, my Appu cat? Did you become a monarch butterfly in your next life? If it was you, I miss you. 😢
Today I learned that our local public library has a seed library, and the seed library has milkweed seeds, in addition to other kinds of seeds
This, my friends, is what you call a game changer

I was really lucky to see this yesterday. A carnivorous plant.
Round-leaved Sundew - Lus na Feàrnaich - Drosera rotundifolia
Very small (~40mm across) but quite deadly if you are an insect attracted by the nectar, glistening on the hairs. Any that get stuck, get slowly digested by enzymes. Horrible way to go...

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see.

@kensanata @sajith entr is indeed a handy piece of software. I used it for streaming on Twitch to hook up my IRC client to OBS. Unfortunately, entr explicitly doesn't check for the IN_MODIFY event, but when I reached out to the lead dev he wrote a patch to enable it, just for my use case! Pretty stand-up guy, and a solid piece of software that's a bit easier to use than inotifywait.

@sajith Also something I recently saw and bookmarked: entr(1) -- http://entrproject.org/ -- "Run arbitrary commands when files change"
