@atibhi_a @goodreads @kuangrf Golly, how nice to hear! And I'm so relieved that Androids avoided the Disappointed list!

I just donated all 2024 royalties from my Androids book to @BlackGirlsCode (Previously, royalties were split between BGC and Women Who Code, but WWC dissolved this year. I guess I didn't sell enough books to keep them solvent.)

My main regret with the No Starch Press edition of my Androids book is that they somehow left out the intro quote from @ficus. It's such a perfect start to the story. So we fixed the problem today for the books I had.

Actually I changed my handle to my domain (@chethaase.com), which changed the profile URL (same account though, which retains anyone who followed via the previous handle)

You can now find me over here as well:

Hearing the bagpipes play in the park across the street makes me wistful for a time earlier in my life, when the window was closed.

Even in the middle of a big city, you can still enjoy nature and wildlife.

That moment in the shower after a long run in the rain when you realize all the places on your body that had been chafing the entire time.

@vad_pinchuk @droidconLondon Thanks for the thought! I'd love to return to Droidcon London, but my class schedule makes that tricky this time.

Headline on Google News. Journalism is dead.

Hey listeners! My audiobook publisher has my #AndroidsBook at 50% off through Oct 11th: If you hadn't gotten around to the book yet, and were looking for a way to listen to me for ten hours straight, this could be your chance!

Closed, Now Open, and Open Soon. I think this place has all the bases covered.

Thanks for suggestions on this. I ended up parking the data in Notes (MacOS), which was easy given .ENEX import/export. Not a perfect solution since I don't have it on my phone, but it was a quick/easy way to at least migrate the old data for now.

Summer's end

@Sharat_Chander I guess I missed that wave. I'll just have to keep making do with my laptop.

@vRallev @Andrey_Ye_ I hadn't used the Android app for a while, but was watching the web app getting worse (omg that startup time for a "notes" app...). It hadn't gotten bad enough for me to switch until they told me I was about to pay more than double the cost for it. That did it.

He's had a tough time leading this bunch; there's so much pressure being the top banana. So sad to see it end like this.

@a_j_42 Pixel 8, stabilized by pushing it against my window. I don't think I edited it beyond a slight crop.
