I cried all the way to the bus station one morning because I was so slow to help him and it cleaned out my soul and when I got on the bus I had a "meet cute" right out of a movie.
It was the kind of event that could change the way I spend my spare time and it has reactivated my interest in image making and printing so this weekend I am scanning an old science textbook to print some cards with the Mascot character "Iggy". Here is one pic

I have a system for printing cards that have "three sides" in the sense of an image, some documentation on the back, and a QR code that points to a web site. For example

Something changed in the software and that system is in pieces on the floor, I have to put it back together so I can reprint old cards to fill out my portfolio as well as print new cards.
The great thing about CMS is that it has multi-templates, you can assign each page its own design (template)
hosting is a home for geeks, like geocities 30 years ago, but with one interesting change - you can run a blog, you can install a chat, use ready-made templates (there are already more than 70 of them), and administer your site even from under DOS (and many templates work in Internet Explorer 5 from 1999)
Since March, we have seriously expanded the functionality, and now it is a rather interesting platform with a social component, in addition, if you bring friends, you always receive an additional 500 MB for files, and so on every time, if there is a recommendation from you.
official website of the CMS http://old.net.eu.org/
but since then it has undergone many changes, additions, improvements, but just in case, I left the very first version so that you can compare where it all began
This morning I wrote the proxy solution in about 10 lines of code. Its really just some supporting code around these two lines, because everything is much easier when it’s just streams:
socket.pipe(proxy);
proxy.pipe(socket);
This is the material which I've been using for a couple of years when teaching Django. Since I'm no longer working as a teacher, I decided to update it and make it available online. I think it's a valuable resource for those learning web development for the first time, or switching from other languages.
This is my first "real" Rust program, so it's probably pretty terrible. When you run it you give it a bunch of command line arguments to define what arguments exist, their format, etc. Then you give it a `--` and forward the arguments your script was called with. The output is a shell script that sets a bunch of environment variables that you can then use to access the values.
Here's the canonical example:
$ cat demo.sh
eval "$(argparse-sh \
--string text \
-- "$@")";
echo "$TEXT"
$ ./demo.sh "Hello World"
Hello World
I'm now stuck in analysis paralysis, trying to get to the next steps. How would I interface it to external hardware How to represent the values of the look up tables, etc.
I think it represents a new class of Turing machine. One that could be scaled to Exaflops of performance without much effort.
Distributed bitgrids should be an easy way to extract sufficient horsepower out of even a Raspberry Pi pico, if you have enough of them.
I tried to make a Show post today but it didn't get any traction, possibly because the target market for the game is families / teens and not software / entrepreneurship related. Or may just be that it got lost among other posts.
If anyone has any organic marketing ideas please let me know. Thx
Then I wanted a change of pace and started on something so ambitious that it's stupid... I'm trying to make a web browser from scratch I guess. So far tokenizing the html is going fine but I'm not sure how far I'll be able to get.
It splits the ebook into sentences and matches the audio part for each sentence, similar to whispersync.
My goal is to have a minimum of manual steps and it is working out pretty well so far.
Open sourcing it is part of the plan, but docs are important and it will take a while...
The latest prototype should arrive this week. I need to prove that my new keyboard design works and then crack in with the software side of things.
I’m also evaluating adding on an RP2040 to do HDMI output. But I can decide if o should adds this to the main board or do it as an expansion board.
So it's a Steam Deck weekend for me.
I wanted to have more end-to-end control over everything, so I decided to switch to a static site generator (Pelican). But I was looking to develop a turnkey solution so I could post to my blog directly from Obsidian using a custom plugin that runs directly inside it.
With one click of a button, my markdown note is converted/formatted and all the image assets are compressed into optimal WebP format. All of that is then handed off to Pelican, a static site generator which combines it with a custom theme, and creates a set of exportable HTML files. These files are then pushed to my GitHub repo. From there, a GitHub runner takes over, copies the new article onto my VPS, and then everything is instantly refreshed on my website.
It's less about the overall aesthetic—because I know the site looks like hot garbage—and more about a frictionless experience for posting new content.
The first test of the POC was an article about building the entire system.
