The creativity and inquisitive curiousity in this thread is honestly inspiring and heartwarming.
My week was spent in object oriented code and log burning stove installation. The cherry on the top was putting my knee through the glass so last night was devoted to thinking about how it can be repaired without spending more money.
Been rebinging Warehouse 13 (dumb but I love it). It stayed as an attempt to trick myself into doing some long overdue paperwork - even doing it slowly while half watching show is better than continuing to avoid it completely. That worked for a day or so, but now I’ve descended to just cycling through savoury and sweet snacks and watching a season a day…
In my head canon, Warehouse 13 is just a continuation of Friday the 13th: The Series, where they track down cursed antiques their crazy uncle sold before they wreak more havoc on the world.
Forgot about that show!
Ham radio. Still at the discovery stage of whats what, thinking about what I want to get into, which means lots of fun learning about everything, as usual in a totally random manor. Trying to avoid getting sidetracked by the VHF/UHF stuff as it would just rapidly spiral out of control.
Just need to knuckle down and study for the foundation exam so I can actually get started transmitting. I think I have the QRP setup I want more or less nailed down that would tide me over till I can move up to intermediate later on. Would give me a nice QRP setup for travel and allow me to treat myself for passing my intermediate with a proper shack radio with a bit more power.
I’m more interested in its lesser known cousin, Rum Ham Radio.
Do I have to pick one?
OpenPGP use on Apple devices MainStage as a front-end for my bass rig MainStage for backing tracks in a live setting LilyGO TDeck 3-octave G major arpeggios
That all sounds like some big brains kinda stuff. If I may ask, what does OpenPGP cryptography have to do with live music mixing/balancing?
Haha, absolutely nothing. OpenPGP just happened to show up somewhere along the way and decided to vibe with the music-making stuff!
KCD2
Came here to say the same. I can’t stop playing
I was a huge fan of the first one and this new one looks even better. I guess I’m waiting for it to go on some sort of sale
What’s that? Mine was a game cslled The Dark mod
I had to look it up myself. It means Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. It’s a new medieval RPG video game.
Yeah, think like Skyrim, but no fantasy. Instead historically very accurate, and a level of realism that is tough, but still easy for casuals. The characters, stories, writing, and voice acting is excellent too. A very beautiful, deep, and captivating game. Excellent if you love being a part of a unique “defy all to overcome” movie.
Work believe it not. Been trying to fiddle around and get an integration working so the team working on it don’t take 3 times the effort. I really should let go and let them try it out themselves but it’s a fun distraction.
Rain World Modding
I already know C# so I thought it wouldn’t be that difficult, but I was very wrong. Rain World is a game made with Unity, but the only part they use Unity for is rendering. And the game also doesn’t ship with debug symbols. Doesn’t help that the modding wiki is outdated at places and incomplete. Took a lot of guess work and looking at other mods to figure out what to do, but I got there at the end and learned a lot.
The flu. The flu has been my rabbit hole for the week 😭
Wait until you see the pounds just melt away on the flu diet. /s
get well soon!
Lately, it’s been the man pages for bash. Linux is a rabbit hole all on its own. The man pages lead you from one hole to another and each has its own usefulness. Who would have thought that reading the manual could actually be useful?

So I took myself on a Black History Month tour while riding to daughters gymnastics competition.
Been playing around with a book idea. It’s in the style of the Ouipo inspired book, A Void. The book, written in French, is done so without using the letter “e”. Perec is a mad man and an amazing writer. And I don’t think anything I will write will be anywhere near that quality.
I want to write something similar that is a world without ‘ai’ (written by AI*). It’s been fun structuring chapters, characters, themes, settings, etc. I’m not a writer by training, but I do like word play and so this has been fun.
I have no hope or dreams of publishing, but I might show a few friends who get it. And hope that it tickles them the way it tickles me.
* I really don’t like the output so far. And I have my doubts about it becoming good. But I got something that wasn’t outright bad the other night. So who knows?
I once read a book without punctuation. It was very difficult to read! It was about a hypothetical apocalypse where everyone suddenly goes blind.
“Blindness” by José Saramago
I don’t specifically recommend it though.
Good luck writing your book 🙂
A buddy of mine just told me about an other one sentence. Dies: A Sentence is by Vanessa Place whose gotten more than a little heat lately for some of her provocative art. While I haven’t read it, he says it’s good. We have similar enough tastes that I trust him.
I bought a new domain name for my indie web presence, so that I can keep my boring professional stuff separate.
Oh nice. What kind of ‘indie stuff’ are you making?
I did see that you’re into writing. That’s cool. I’ve been trying to stick with it. I have a decent amount of ideas for stories but not enough typed out. =/
Oh nice. What kind of ‘indie stuff’ are you making?
So far, it’s just my morning pages. I figure if I share my most raw and unfinished stuff, then it will be mentally easier to share the stuff I actually put polish into.
I have this server running an Quartz frontend, that I can just push markdown files to. But yeah, that’ll probably move to a subdomain, and the main site will be wacky neocities type stuff, idk. Something rough and fun, though.
I have 3 domains… I need help
That’s a totally reasonable number!
Also, just an FYI you can use nginx as to serve multiple domains/websites from a single server on the cheap. ;)
Yeah, I know how to manage a server thankfully lol. I am planning to split the 3 domains for different purposes since as of now I only use them for my email.
Well, I crocheted a beret today and started a trihexaflexagon for my wife’s birthday the other day. So I suppose it’s crochet this week.
That’s rad. How did the beret turn out?
Also, this is the first time reading out trihexaflexagon and also getting a refresher as to what it is. It’s a really fun word to say. Makes me feel like a top tier rapper when I say it out loud. haha
It turned out pretty well, it was my first time improvising a pattern from looking at a finished piece. I ran out of yarn right before transitioning from the top of the beret to the head band, but my wife let me use some of her black yarn to finish it off.
There’s a little bit of a visual indication that the black starts before the end of the round, but it’s only like 10 stitches (out of 100) so it’s not very noticeable.
Motorcycle gear. I now know I can buy armoured(!!) leggings that go under my jeans, and an armoured(!!) leather jacket that looks kickass over a hoodie.
ATGATT!
Ooo. I just bought a klx 300. I should look into armour.
Please rate the effectiveness of these garments against zombie attack. Asking for a friend.
I second this. But I’m asking for a future friend.
I am seriously learning how to plumb gas lines to save like $600. So if you don’t hear from me, it will be because I killed myself and probably injured several neighbors.
Water heater repair?
Just make sure the gas if off before you touch it, and maybe don’t light a match right away.
I taught myself plumbing once so I could still fuck up and cause $2k in direct damage, plus grow who knows how much mold in the ceiling.
