Wrote an awesome blog post on new corals in my reef tank but can't publish it 😞. My raku deploy script broke after upgrading to OSX Monterey.

Neat css trick to show different content.

Also neocities.org is a thing.

Started looking at the poverty line in the US; got some data from thee FCC API. Trying to find a way to link it to gps data. Want make a sensor that would read out the poverty line in current location based on GPS.

Hopefully something thought provoking.

Unfortunately the data has been a bit spotty so far.

Attached is a picture where I dumped the data into a csv and used processing to see what gps points I have data for. The fact US is not solid white is the missing data.

Needed to update a ui-kit npm package at work today and install it on a review app of a separate project. How to get the changes without publishing a new version of the library? It’s a major change that will need tweaking.

Prerelease to the rescue!

Semantic-release supports it by default. I had to do was create and push to branch named beta. Then update the pipeline to also publish on this branch. Boom v3.0.0-beta1. Such a cool feature and saved me hours trying to hack something.

Been enjoying C++ lately working on few Arduino projects. Now want to try and make a simple text based rouge like with raylib. https://www.raylib.com

Months ago I built a simple roll a ball in unity game. With help of tutorial made free because of pandemic, good move unity. Had this concept for a series of games “5min of fun”. Small games to help learn game programming and challenge myself outside web app I’m always programming at work. Looking to add to that series.

Major progress on my life clock project. Managed to load 17 years worth of adjectives onto the micro controller.

More on the project after I finished. Documenting progress in a dev log I’ll turn into a blog post then.

Been web scraping for one of my personal projects. Years ago I used python + beautifulsoup which basically curls the page. This time I’m using python + webdriver. Wow is it nice. Can even scrape client side js rendered pages!
