Monday #boardgames, Ayar and External decks, both good, would play again

Over the first week we’ve walked 29% of the virtual Cotswolds walk, finding it useful as a way to check I have done steps today, and to encourage Hannah to walk! #walking

Oct 1st! Attempting to do more exercise, so friend Hannah and I have joined worldwalking.org, we’re going to do the Cotswolds walk. So far we left Bath.. #walking

Monday night’s game: Perseverance: Castaway Chronicles, Episode 3. Would like to play again, the “how do I actually get points” felt a little obscure(d) (the individual goal cards don’t get you many). #boardgames

It’s #swindonopenstudios this weekend! I have added the venue list to my Local Explore app - play.google.com/store/app… . NB currently #swindon and #chitterne exploring only, send me lists for other locations!

Dear printer, what were you thinking? No love, Jess #3dprinting #petg #prusamk4s

Initial #swindonartsfringe visit was to the Carriage Works, where we saw various Open Studios exhibits, and had a go at animation. The animation is fun, have a go if you can! #swindon

I’m running out of time to go visit the www.swindonartsfringe.co.uk installations! No excuse other than it’s been quite a week, better grab the camera and go outside #swindon #publicart

Today in “trying to use other people’s code”, debug build deps, entrypoints and entire pyproject.toml contents, made a PR so the next person has a better time (maybe): github.com/thatlarry… NB: I don’t usually #python so this required much doc reading #programming

Fixing things: I 3d printed this backpack hanger in Dec 2021, 3.5 years constant use isn’t bad! How long will the replacement last? Design from www.thingiverse.com/thing:422… #thingiverse #3dprinting

Monday’s #boardgame pics (all behind this week, I blame bank hols!). We played Perseverance, the castaway chronicles, episodes 1 and 2.

Yesterday in " Use #Opensource or write my own" I have been trying out goskyr instead of maintaining my own event data fetchers. It didn’t cope with event pages listing multiple dates, so I patched it. github.com/jakopako/… how is #myfirstgo ? #programming #mobilizon #golang

#3dprinting fun this morning, working on the Inferno #boardgame box insert for a friend, looks very pretty! cults3d.com/en/3d-mod…

Yesterday in WTF #Perl:

DB<1> use Event::Scraper::Website::SwindonFestLiterature;
double free or corruption (fasttop)
Aborted

This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

Whaaat?

Picked up last weeks work on the Fool’s Dog iOS app, almost immediately found the issue I couldn’t find in an hour of looking last week, why is this always the way!? #programming #ios #foolsdog

End of yesterday’s Galactic Cruise #boardgame, I managed to win this one! (A rare occurrence), mostly by having a large number of end game points

Debugging #Perl #UTF8 #JSON #API issues on an Easter Sunday morning, why do I do this to myself.. ? #programming

I don’t usually cook a lot, have been trying #pinchofnom “All in one” lately, recommended for cooks with less time to spare. Latest recipe, Tuna, Pepper and Potato bake. Takes about 50min (book says 40), if using frozen onions and peppers, tastes good, 4/5 #cooking

#closingtabs Guess what I’ve been working on lately..

In the weird world of app dev, an SDK invite: Our innovative solution works silently in the background, indexing public websites by utilizing unused resources from devices. This unique approach not only boosts your revenue but also significantly enhances user experience and retention. #foolsdog

Yesterday’s Monday games: Robinson Crusoe, scenario “The Dying Island”, we won! (and I failed to take a photo", then Tranquility: The Ascent, a co-op card game (see photo), Deep sea adventure, won by the one person who made any treasure at all #boardgames

This image needs smell-o-vision, currently in the garden: Apple blossoms, Purple Syringa pubescens blossoms, and White Cherry tree blossom #garden

Paper post from gov.uk/vehicle-t… tax your vehicle! 12 months - nil. Login to tax for £nil (yes you’re required to do that), and the website tells me I owe £20, which is what I was expecting. This is better, as now I can setup a direct debit which won’t require me to login every year

Free #EDF energy this morning, so I put on the washing, the dishwasher and some #3dprinting (more #gridfinity boxes!)

Yesterday: Deployed #perl db-to-api tool metacpan.org/pod/WebAP… once for a project where folks now don’t have the “I don’t write Perl” excuse to contribute, and once against #Mobilizon, cos I just give up with #graphql. Now I have to deal with the it’s db schema instead #programming
