Worldo is already angry and blocking everything that moves and it’s hardly even daylight as I write this. Sleep depravation again last night. I’m exhausted. I’m hungry.

Here are my unedited escallation notes from yesterday, things are getting weird rapidly:

• Butch women public toilet attendant doing her angry mind control thing again. Also one of the two sinks was blocked up. I predicted a few days ago that there would likely be water issues. Looks like I was right once again. It’s the same pattern every cycle.
• One of the clothes gifts from last night was a shirt. It’s not as nice as my pop button cowboy style jeans shirt, but it’s a lot newer. The cowboy shirt is in a very sad state. This morning in the shop cafe a young boy about 6-7 years of age appears with a female guardian. He was wearing a light yellow cowboy shirt with pop buttons. He kept double tapping things around the room. As they left, he clearly says ‘liar’ as he passes by me. Was he saying it to me, or the woman guardian? Either way not great. Also to be honest his yellow shirt looked a bit Primark rather that Zara or H&M. It wasn’t fitted. Looked like it was for a fat kid. But he seemed to be enjoying it, with his collar up like he was some sort of rebel.
• Next person to enter the room a minute after writing the last item is wearing a T-shirt that says SMILE on the back. Yes good idea world.
• As I was writing the last item, SMILE bloke got up and left. He was only here for about 30 seconds. Btw he sat on front of the whitewashed graffiti dick.
• ‘Lonely’ harassment by couple, purposely jangling keys. Historically speaking that’s usually a sign of imminent pedo pervert harassment. It’s happened many times before. And based on events from past 2 days seems very likely it’s about to happen again. Worldo back up to it’s old tricks again.
• Everything I’m doing this afternoon at the shop cafe is being counter acted. I’ve been trying to prune the feature backlog, but anytime I get close to it, start reading tickets, there’s some massive flare up by people either around me, or downstairs. Eventually just to make some progress I was forced to just delete all the work I’d previously done on a feature. It was taking longer to reorganise it than just doing it again from scratch. What a huge waste of time. That’s what happens when worldo goes on one of it’s blocking frenzies. Of course it will escallate and blame me for the things it’s doing to me.
• Weirdo couple bloke tapping things as he and the girl he was with left
• Last night’s food gifts were were in a thick red plastic bag that had a yellow ribbon tied in a bow on one of the handles. Just now on front of the shop cafe I’m in, a young women just appeared on the opposite side of the road seemingly looking for a taxi bike or delivery bike. She had white ribbon bows tied all over her body and hair. At least 10 of them. Gee what a coincidence.
• Young women walks up to the graffiti dick, a pauses, then sits down and puts her black bag on front of it. Leaves the bag’s top quite obviously and purposely wide open. Other young women sitting behind me appeared to be amused. Right before bag girl arrived, they ‘yah’d’ for no apparent reason.
• The instant I finished writing the last item, bag girl closed her bag. Girls behind then said ‘unbelievable!’. Then ‘wow!’.
• The instant I finished writing the last item, the podcast I was listening to said "you can only do it on children!". Told you that would happen didn’t I.
• As I finished the last item, the entire room got mobbed with a large group of young women. I am pretty much surrounded. They are all wearing black, apart from one that is wearing an all red head to toe outfit. The girl sitting in front of my charging battery is foot pumping and the girl next to the graffiti dick has a very obvious tramp stamp tatoo. They are saying things like: ‘he knows’.
• The podcast I was listening to right after writing last item: ‘fill then stroke’.
• As they all left, one of them leaned in a weird way across the surface right in front of the graffiti dick. It looked very prepared. She waited a few seconds with her butt sticking out, and a taller one smacked her butt. I looked at the shorter smacked girl and it turns out she wasn’t just shorter, unlike the others who were likely late teens or early twenties, she was clearly a young teenager. Just like I said before. Once they start doing the weird pedo pervert shit it doesn’t stop for days. They will escallate until I get angry. It’s all part of their anger goading campaign. This isn’t the first time. It happens all too often.
• Just before leaving, I went to the bathroom after packing my bags, I passed two young women seemingly not connected to the large group who had all left, as I passed them they both said ‘No!’. When I entered the toilet the seat was half down, and the toilet had not been flushed with yellow pee still in the bowl. The last person to use it was the young women wearing head to toe red outfit.
• Just as I finished writing last item, the podcast I was listening to said ‘now we are flogging a dead horse’ and immediately afterwards my nasal cavity flared in pain. As I left the toilet the 2 young women said ‘you won’. Not a good sign. That usually means they are getting more angry.
• Harassment from people at the top of the street after leaving.
• On the way to internet place, people pass me in the park saying ‘our!’.
• As I leave the park a butch women wearing pink, who has been waiting near the entrance ostensibly doing exercises, as I pass her she is doing her shoe lace, with her foot up on the barrier. The previous time I was in the shop cafe I just left, there was another weird toilet incident. Somebody had clearly put their foot up on the toilet bowl. It was all muddy. What a strange coincidence. Seems like worldo is getting even more angry, while blaming me, once again for everything in the universe, I guess.

Another day. #

David Pierce [11:25]: "End of 2025, somebody has acquired Snap [...] somebody, I forgot, I had a lot to remember coming back from December 2025."

I thought this bit was great. Sometimes it’s the unnexpected off the cuff bits that are the funniest.

This one works so well because it’s so uncomplicated, a bit silly, it’s perfectly timed and it doesn’t disrupt the flow in any way. They are playing a game pretending David came back from the future with a tech Almanac in his head. A few minutes into it, just as they are settling into their predictions, he styles this one in, and everyone collectively 'oh yeah' remembers they are playing the Back to the Future game.

Of course you can’t over use these types of jokes but this one made me smile so much I thought it was worth pointing it out.

Update: Finished listening to the episode, definitely worth the listen, future tech predictions with a bit of humour. #

cat << EOF > Hello RSS clarity

Since I’m waiting for build minutes to reset, I have a few weeks without coding. I spent the past couple of days tidying up my static site generator and website feature backlog. Everything looks a bit more manageable, with duplicates and non priority items pruned. I’ve also fleshed out plans for several features, so I’ll be ready for next month.

One of items that’s been in my todo list for ages and ages now was to re-organise all the feeds in my RSS reader. I had let them get very disorganised. That happens when you add feeds over 20 years. It was at the point where I no longer openned the app at all. So this morning I decided to just get the cleanup done. I exported an OPML with all the feeds, and got stuck in, editing the XML by hand.

I opted for the simplest strategy ever. There are two groups of feeds: Bloggers and News. That’s down from about 15. Basically all individuals running their own personal websites or sites identifying themselves as blogs in their feed title are in the Bloggers group, everything else is in News. News tends to be main stream media news sites, or new media publications, but also tons of odds and ends from companies or organisations I’m interested. Even though I pruned over 50% of the feeds, there are still several hundred, but got rid of tons of cruft that had accumulated over the years.

So far it‘s looking amazing. The clarity is incredible. After just 20 minutes of reading through posts, I’ve seen Matt Mullenweg is out in Japan doing Wordpressy stuff for independant writers, there are loads of web development advent calendars since it’s December, and Jake Lazaroff has a great piece about Isomorphic Web Components aka rendering web components serverside. I’m already getting a bit of a sense of being connected again to the old blogosphere. I’m guessing it will have a positive impact on my blogging. #
