the detail about people testing sites at night is before my time, interesting little tidbit to know. nighttime is where you begin, undercover...
My apartment is black. Pitch black. I keep it that way 24/7. I look outside when I see the clock strike 8 PM. Just out the side of the blackout curtain. Confirming nightfall.
Once dark. Totally dark. I go outside on my balcony, and I smoke cigarettes there for a bit. Then inside. Out again later.
Sometimes critters in the distance, sometimes raccoons/beavers lunging their way through the underground storm drain deal just adjacent to my balcony. I, too, a creature of nocturnal pleasure.
The energy gets strong at night. I remember the "digital nomad" wanna-be days of WIP.co and other sites where worldwide travelers built (or tried) apps that would either sink or swim - they were really just traveling while hammering JS and PHP. In those times, the "works in progress" and landing sites would go live or be "tested" at night - everything came "online" just past dusk.
But I have this energy regardless.
Tonight, I put together Issue 2 of the (new) zine "selfish approvals". I am happy with the current entries, more coming, always improving ("improving"? they're just thoughts)
10 downloads of issue 1 (on itch). Like keeping up.
~bartender, an espresso, if you will - and kill the lights

yes, all-night coding/writing sessions have always been my jam, but it's been a while since I did any. Sitting up at night and smoking with coffee is all well and good, but the Web has been in a lull as of late. Granted, I need to go through my RSS and keep some, cut others, add more still - but between masto and blogs, there's nary updates to nbe found, usually. I am past the "daily blogging" expectancy of anything these days (difference between now and a year+ ago was I WANTED people to write daily). People do/say whatever and whenever and I am all too keen to be here when they do.
The server (Ctrl-c) is more active, as well as IRC, so I keep up there for the late night shenanigans
