This blog entry was ported from my gemsite, so it follows a slightly different format than I've been using here. The date on it is also wrong, but it's the date under which it was listed on my gemlog and I can't find an older one recorded anywhere.
A new systems page is up describing the script I just put together to make it easier to input emoji independent of whatever facilities are provided within whatever application I'm using:
TBH, this is how I think it should generally be done. Kinda bothers me that each and every chat program I interact with has its own independent implementation of emoji lookup and input. Seems like a waste of developer time, CPU time, and memory.
metaI really dislike writing gemlog entries like this one, which basically amount to "no, there's no content here, but there is new content over there!" But it seems like I'm stuck with it until I can work out a way to mesh the wiki-like way I want to arrange my information with the way that all the Gemini aggregators seem to want the information presented.
I should probably also re-assess how I organize "systems" as well. "Wetware"-oriented things, e.g., "bins" and "food," seem like they should be somehow differentiated from, e.g., simple descriptions of scripts like "emoji input." 🤷/meta
