the circle of hell that is train travel with a toddler on a hot day packed tight with a disproportionate number of passive-aggressive people and nowhere to put the buggy.

@thurloat @Alby I bet that was Roman Mars, of the 99% Invisible podcast. If you're into podcasts, you should check it out, so so good.

Friday night in, rewiring a mains extension and watching DS9. \m/

@Alby brb, adding "Mastodon Enterprise Consultancy" to my CV.

@thurloat I sent you a one-off donation from a PayPal account / email address which references a lot of monkeys 🙈🙉🙊

the art is tested and ready to ship

@leeg jquery4lyfe, yo?

@thurloat nope. I've used stripe directly before, and no complaints: API seems very well designed. Not used either of those wrappers though.

I was on Aussie radio at the weekend, talking about talking to machines! And I don't hate how I came across! Although I need to learn more synonyms for 'interesting' http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/futuretense/talking-with-machines/8410784

@thurloat patreon, maybe? as a 'monthly creator'? https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204606295-What-s-the-difference-between-a-monthly-Patreon-page-and-per-creation-one-

Stripe'd be good too - they have an API for monthly subscriptions, but you'd probably end up needing to implement *something* https://stripe.com/docs/subscriptions/quickstart

@thurloat is there currently any way to set up a recurring donation?

@fionntan the constant here is your crotch.

@leeg FUN FACT: I am currently recomposing pastcards.io into a deeply unfashionable monolithic heroku app because bloody hell it's all just a bit exhausting isn't it?

@Rolston maybe? it was fun to work out though :)

@Rolston you know you're python when you can't let that go past until your brain has parsed it

@gideonro :ok_hand: just so

I like the idea of knowing who the admin of your home Mastodon instance is. Like knowing the person who runs your local DIY store, or bookshop.

@alysonf :wave:

thinks: wondering if there's an ML dataset equivalent of cartographic trap streets, whereby particular quirks signify provenance
