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

Yesterday: “Just” going to migrate my dev db from SQLite to Postgres, shouldn’t take long. Now I know that pgloader exists, that it’s written in lisp, that there’s no gentoo package for it, that a sbcl package exists, that mapping field types is fun, that my db had erroneous data #programming

Fun/frustration with #postmarketos, maybe shouldn’t have started with a Nexus 4 - instructions don’t say to flash kernel, pmbootstrap page does, do I need to? Whichever UI I pick, I get a blank screen, and a dhcp server that connects, but no SSH server available, debug mode doesn’t seem to start.

Busy day, started a tool to verify that decks are consistent, debugged one deck, and released a test flight update with more decks, and working Favorites selection. Why you’re only allowed 2 favorite decks, is left as an exercise for the reader. #foolsdog

Last nights #boardgame was Galactic Cruise. I lost this by miles on Sunday, played again Monday and won! (Just about, it was a first place tie-breaker)

Thoughts from the coding mines: Never work with animals, children, or.. old stripe implementations.. Dear #Stripe, how many f’in ways are/were there to do the same thing? I need a flow chart to determine how to migrate. opens 16th possibly 17th tab into the Stripe docs #programming

Hobby mashup: #boardgame from yesterday’s session, #3dprinted #Psion (retro tech) case part. Case part design CC Jon on printables: www.printables.com/model/112…

Does anyone want to be emailed a login code instead of entering their password, is it just me? grumble
