Updated my resume, and open to a variety of web dev / ai / creative + tech projects. If someone asked me what my ideal would be: developing the ideas on alap dot info (the resume uses alap in a couple of spots)
It also points to the pdf, word, and ats/text versions

I gotta say, if you are racing fan, check out the #nurburgring #n24 - I love F1, but this scene is such a breath of fresh air. So many different car classes! Being streamed on YT

Silly prediction, #npm ecosystem and supply chain attacks:
some developers will throw their hands up, and say "Claude, dupe the functionality of these packages, so we no longer depend on them"
basically a self-silo, self-defensive move. (not what I would do today, but I can see how some would)

and a peek at :json: protocol, where we might get multiple fields, for use in making a lightbox or a lens (or just thumbnails alongside a menu....)
that's all for now, except to say "look, a link does not have to be this fixed thing that just goes to one place.. we've been doing that 35 years!"

coming in alap 3.2, I wrote a tutorial that walks through how to write a protocol (reaching out to a data source that can at least give an array of labels and links). This one is :hn: (Hackernews)

Looking for additional web dev work
I would like to get 10 or more hours a week of a gig where I can:
* leverage my decades of web experience + AI, to bring ideas to life
* help refactor old projects, etc
See github.com/DanielSmith and alap.info
(and yes, I rewrote grabchars recently, as well)

I am working away at alap 3.2, which will support local obsidian vaults...
but also, one needs to get data into a vault in the first place :)
so, alap 3.1 handles some #atproto and can call into json apis (and can use this to make a menu, a lightbox, or a lens)
and obsidian is next

is funny how they did the improv "t shirt shroud" for #artemis
for the next mission they will give it some official name...
"artemis, adjust the FLD at window 2 orientation"
"understood, Houston, tweaking Fabric Light Diffuser"

wondering about #artemis videography.. didnt they take a lunar telescope to continuously video record? Seems a long way to go, just to rely on a few Nikons (w/400mm lens) and a few SD cards... I mean, we'll get great images, but I would think they would be recording terabytes of telescope (?)

My new post on Medium about alap
gist is: we have had 35 years of static links, one target. I think we can improve on that, and do so in an open format.
...and we can dynamically call @atproto.com endpoints, while we're at it.
