What are you doing this week? Feel free to share!

Keep in mind it’s OK to do nothing at all, too.

  1. Working on a Cargo plugin for packaging Rust binaries into AppImage files! Hopefully it’ll even work.

    1. Hopefully it’ll even work.

      You’re naming it cargo hereholdmybeer right?

      1. I was thinking of cargo heregoes but yours is fine also.

        1. Heh, both bad ideas are fun things I wish existed ignore my silliness.

  2. I’m on holidays, so I’ll work on a hobby project: making a static site generator for markdown files, mostly as a Go learning exercise.

    1. Recently wrote my own blog CMS in Go. Have fun! I recommend using goldmark for the markdown parsing and HTML generation.

  3. Working on a Python intro guide for those already familiar with programming basics. I’m reworking materials that I’ve used in the past for 2-day workshops. Plan is to keep it short, about 100 pages. I had started a project focused book (https://learnbyexample.github.io/practice_python_projects/) but that’ll take a long long time to finish. So, planning to finish the intro guide first, hopefully within a month.

    Re-reading Arcane Ascension books in preparation for the recently released 3rd book in the series. Progression fantasy has been my favorite sub-genre for the past 2 years and this series is one of the good ones. Plus, these are all mostly available on Kindle Unlimited.

      I admire your enthusiasm and dedication on making new content available regularly. Looking forward to this intro guide and book availability. Let me know if there is any way I can keep tap on the updates. Thank you!

        I’ll put up the markdown source of the book and other related files on GitHub and announce it on twitter and other social media.

    • Hoping to spend some quality time with the family
    • Sleep

  5. I’m refactoring my Among Us league website so that I can move it off glitch.me which has been unreliable lately. It’s an Express app so I think I can wrap it somehow and deploy the whole thing to Netlify and have it run with serverless. Basically this tutorial.

    I’m also learning more chess after ‘finishing’ my chess engine ♞

      I’ve enjoyed both posts you wrote recently on the Among Us league and chess engine!

      I’d appreciate a followup if you get your project working on Netlify – I also have a couple glitch projects I’d like to migrate

        Will do. I should at least be able to send you a before and after GitHub diff.

    Hacking up some NixOS stuff for work and writing short stories for my personal blog. I may also do a shadowrun oneshot with some friends as a sharkgirl/succubus netrunner.

    I have a bunch of unused laptops just sitting around that I’m going to set up to run some web servers for me. I’m also going to properly set up some observation mechanisms on the smart devices on my network

  8. Between the holidays, I’m trying to progress with my thesis for my bachelor’s degree. Let’s see how well I can focus.

  9. I and my team are continue to work on GIF Tools. It’s a website that offers a collection of utilities for working with GIF animations. You can resize, rotate, extract frames, change playback speed, and do many other GIF operations.

  10. @work I have a 3 day week, and I’m investigating a crash when our server runs under WSL.

    @home I want to finish reading “The Night Land”, The awkward imitation 17th century prose is getting ridiculous in the second half of the book, so I’ve started skimming a bit.

    I’m also refactoring my OpenGL library (again, ha) and sorting through some photos I took over the summer.

    After 6 years, I’ve left my now former employer and will start a new job on January 4th. During the next two weeks, I plan to clean-up my dotfiles to be as productive as possible. Right now, I have decided to heavily rework my Emacs configuration, to make it more consistent and predictable. I have already made some progress, in particular wrt. startup time (from almost 4s to 1s). I still have some work to do though.

    And, of course, there is Christmas.

  12. Continue to apply for jobs until Thursday. My partner took 10 days off and we will enjoy them together before applying to more jobs in January. During holidays, I plan to finish reading “I am a Strange Loop”, learn more about the playing style of Bill Evans and play with Raku to change my mind.

    We wished to go see my family in the neighbor country but it seems that it is going to be complicated.

  13. Two weeks off to hang out with family and feel less burned out after a minor version bump at work. And work on the amateur radio station. :-)

  14. This is my first full week of “time off” (i.e. not doing paid client work). So hopefully I’ll be able to continue the progress I made last week and this past weekend, working through the DIY/fixit list (and a bunch of stuff not on the list.

  15. Holiday projects! I’ve been meaning to write a blog post about the mechanics of how gpg-agent chooses to use Emacs for pinentry, and what you need to do on the Emacs side to make that work. I’m also wanting to patch Polybar so customi/ipc hooks can take arguments. Finally, I’d like to spend more time learning Guix preferably by writing Guile code.
