Well, the same thing as the last time: porting my IRC daemon from C to Go. I’ve had some problems with motivation, though that has sorted itself out and now I have before me the task of rewriting about 4000 lines of fairly straight-forward “business logic” code. It’s mind-numbingly boring and fairly time-consuming.
Since this is part of an over-ambitious project where I replace most GUI/TUI applications that I use, this rewrite being a warm-up exercise for Go in a problem domain that I’m comfortable with, I am considering starting a blog-of-sorts. I’m not sure if I could keep it alive for long as one needs to remember to describe the steps he takes and put them in context for readers which, needless to say, takes its time, but also as a side effect often provides interesting insights. There’s definitely a lot to write about.
What does one use to share a stream of short updates? I don’t feel like spamming an aggregator with them would be very productive and summarizing events at fixed time intervals seems like a hassle.
Keeping a log/record of things you have learned, wanted to share, or ran into in an issue tracker for the project would work probably. Possibly just a markdown file? Makes it easy to at a later date write about the process from beginning to end.
Apartment hunting and playing around with my creation myth generator. I’ve been a digital nomad for 3 years, so I’m unreasonably excited to own things like a desk or a tiny potted plant.
If weather is bad enough to prevent me from hiking I plan to finish my Instapaper alternative (email myself a nicely formatted version of the article).
This is my first step in exploring possibility of using email clients as a feed reader interface.
After reading the story here on solving snakebird levels I’ve convinced myself that it isn’t as hard as the author seems to think. So I’m going to give that a go and be proven wrong, I’m sure.
trying to take up piano again, i have been off and on all year, but making an effort to do like an hour daily. Played as a child. A little lost on picking it back up again (start with theory, just start playing pieces ) … I was not an advanced player but did a few years as a child had Fur Elise memorized at one point … etc.
train more daily in martial arts – active practitioner for decades.
bday party for friend!
excited about upcoming Diablo nuclear power plant tour in August 2018 I just got reservations for!
Yup! … but the tour is not for another 2 weeks or so … I went there on a tour as a child, and my buddy who is going on the tour there, was an employee when the plant was being built 27 years ago …
Hi. I had alot of fun on the tour. Actually for much of the tour your not permitted to take photos of the facility while walking around (some tourists did anyways, i took a grand total of 1 photo of the reactor units while on the bus from the bus window, and then 2 photos of a adjacent vista point they took us to and said we could take pictures at that tour stop). There is alot of security on-site.
Unfortunately, I don’t usually post photos online.
Moving, while my whole family is sick. WTF isn’t there a provision in my lease that will give me a few extra days if we’re all ill? And for that matter, why don’t I get paid sick days? This whole thing is dumb.
I’m working on a watch2gether clone, that uses youtube-dl as a backend: doji [dot] us [dot] .to. I’ve made quite some progress on this, considering that I just started 2 days ago.
The style isn’t modern (intentionally), but it’s rather lightweight and reasonably fast in my experience. There are still a few bugs and rough UX aspects, which have to be though through, commands implemented and some limits have to be set up. Will probably publish the source as soon as I fix a accidental git --reset hard.
Finishing up a meta data scraper for YT videos in an archival team up with archive team. Putting some finishing touches on my init system, and getting set up at my new job.
Warwick Folk Festival!
I’m going to the Gilroy Garlic Festival!

I’d recommend http://jrnl.sh/ if you want to quickly do streams of updates directly from command-line.
I personally like my fork which has one additional feature: native exporting directly to HTML https://git.timetoplatypus.com/timetoplatypus/jrnl

I just got back yesterday from 8 days of bike touring, so I’m relaxing and getting used to being at home.
I’ve fallen dangerously behind in the Prolog class I’m enrolled in, so most of the weekend will be spent catching up on that.
I’m also hoping to finish reading Karel Čapek’s “The War With the Newts”.

How’d this go? Do you tend to post photos online?

Oh, reactor facilities have operational security. Right, I knew that, I just forgot. Fair enough!

Hey, you asked! :)
FYI, this ended up being hell. Worse than expected. Expensive, embarrassing, etc. That there were no episodes of literal incontinence was a highlight.

I’m going to:
Oh..it’s time to update docs for go-critic.
Also I would like to push forward upcoming project for easier Go performance analysis.
Maybe conquer few mechanical bosses in Terraria :sunglasses:
Listen a lot of Perturbator and visit Balkan restaurant this evening :3
