My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. I don't really know what's happening down there. Who is the real hero? --Mitch Hedberg Kind of how I feel about cargo with rust. (early days of learning)

Severance is giving me Lost vibes and that worries me.

Bluesky has RSS feeds for all users?! It keeps getting better and better.

Princess Auto sells 80/20?! What?!

Electronics ... 90% of it finding the right connector to use.

Ok this typing game is fun zty.pe

TIL: FeatureScript ... the scripting language for OnShape. Well, that's the end of OpenSCAD for me.

Ready for NYE bonfire ...

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Getting the Xmas bar ready. Making super juice. 9 limes makes nearly 2L of lime juice.

RIP What We Do In The Shadows

Me on a Friday afternoon.

No discussion of online predators would be complete without talking about booking.com ... right up there with the payday loan companies.

Nearly have the hall closet covered to a bar. Needs face plates and lighting but the hard part is over. My condo has weird angles and there's not a single horizontal 90° anywhere inside. Acute trapezoid.

My old beater car has a shit stereo (but good amplifier and speakers). I never use the built-in radio/map/crap. Designed and 3D printed a new face plate with a phone / glasses holder. Tack on a bluetooth control unit ... and done.

Designed this little easy-to-print carrier for my STM32 Nucleo. Added a little sidecar for the Black Magic Probe. The Rpi Pico is still a work in progress until the wiring settles down.

3D Modeling is one of those skills where you can feel yourself leveling up every time you do it.

Well, after much back and forth I settled on bootstrap over tailwind css. Why?

How many people pay for tailwind ui components and how many just use tailwind css? Or, if you're not using tailwind, what are you using?

Tailwind.css ... so far it's a nope. Too much name mangling.

Jinja2 Fragments is the magic that was missing from jquery and beautifully integrates with fastapi/htmx. No more death by a thousand template snippets. github.com/sponsfreixes...

Back from SF ... decompressing by playing with esp8266, fastapi, and micropython at the coffee shop on a shitty-weather Sunday.

So much better than The Art of Electronics.

To start off on a happy note - here’s the new beautiful bidirectional bike lane that just went in on Barrington Street near downtown Halifax, NS. Absolutely loving riding this so far.
