Serial tweetstory: Seeing herself

(This little story was posted in seven tweets on Twitter, because tweets can only be 140 characters long. Here it is as a complete piece.)

She began walking the mirrors as a child, swapping worlds with her other selves. She became ambidextrous before she knew it was unusual.

She was in her teens when she realised nobody else could move through mirrors like she did. And that not all loved mirrors like she did.

She tried to see like they did, to see the reflected world, not the one on the other side. To see herself, not her other. She succeeded.

She saw herself. She seemed unreal, strange to her. Faintly, behind her own reflection, she saw her other self look surprised, afraid.

As she stared, completely still, she saw her other self lift a hand and touch the mirror. And then she faded, and she saw only herself.

It has been a long time now; she is not always sure it was not just a childhood game, a make-believe. She tries to believe it was real.

She looks in mirrors, and tucks her hair away with either hand. One day, she sees her other self use the other hand. And they smile.

federal politics gothic

a member of parliament stands at each corner of London Circuit. they speak the appointed words at the appointed time. the Elder Party stirs, and then is quiet again. for now.

julie bishop’s eyes roll back in her head. her head falls back against her chair. her body begins...

Catvice for Ben: Don't lick your scars. Even if there's yummy ooze coming out. Bad Ben.

Hate your colleague? Put “var false = true;” in their code. Enjoy.

I keep going back to this every now and again, looking at different parts each time. generally just really beautiful and disturbing.

I want you to imagine someone for me. Her name is Jessica and she is 17 years old. She lives in a two bedroom apartment with her mother and uses an old laptop she got from one of her mom’s ex boyfriends. With it she browses the portals that serve as her connection to the community constructed...

Swift On Security is saying great things and I like them a lot.

Caitlin, effort and attention are finite.

Learn what drains them and how to recharge them for you.

Catvice for Ben: get your ayes sorted before you propose a motion in parliament.

Catvice for Ben: When travelling, taking your $200 piece of plastic instead of your $2000 piece of metal is a good plan. However, taking your $75 onesie is a better idea. For maximum points, take a U-bend pipe and look adorable while you walk around in it.

Submitting with lots of errors still getting thrown. Relegated to my "do this code when bored" pile.

While I wait for a specific version of Xcode to download because the computer I’m using has no Mac OS X 10.6 SDKs anymore (thank you so much Apple), here is a post about the code of my plugin!

I’ve hosted my code in a repository on GitHub, but kept it private. When I make it public, the link to the repository should be http://github.com/caitelatte/caitessegonal. I make version control repositories for most of my code-based assignments, so that I can track what I’ve been doing. It’s been particularly useful for figuring out the stuff with compatibility between versions of Mac OS (thanks again Apple).

Above I’ve included a few of the best/most important parts of my code. Everything is commented so that hopefully other people and future me can understand what’s going on. I included ASCII diagrams of the concepts I’m using to calculate what colour pixels are in front of the which_shape and inside_octagon functions.

The only other file in interest in the repository is the Makefile, which is all kinds of broken (I love Apple so much). I’ve included a screen shot of it.

Developing is fun.
