Weeknotes 30
Here are a few facts:
- last week's weeknotes were my longest ever
- there are 16 minutes until midnight
- I'm lazy when given the option
Here are a few results:
- This week's format will be an old favourite: the listicle
What did I do this week? Let's whizz through it.
HOUSING
I'm looking for housing! (are you too???) Next week I will have made a choice on it! exciting.
- I've visited two houses. One was mouldy, one was not. The latter looks like a good option :)
- I've texted two people on SpareRoom. Neither is compatible practically.
- I've been invited to find a house by two groups of people.
- I've responded to two housing cooperative emails (after a long delay from myself)
THERMAL PRINTING
- I've been printing GitHub updates via webhooks: https://github.com/alifeee/github-webhook-printing
- I've been printing a live feed of trains going by the window: https://github.com/alifeee/stomp/blob/add-send-example/examples/send.js
WANDERINGS
- I went out with a friend. We saw exhibitions on Health and Metal, went to an expensive bookshop, and finally the library to appease the bookish needs
CREATINGS
- I created a neat graph visualiser of the types of jobs people have in different areas of the UK. Have a look: http://server.alifeee.co.uk/occupation-data/. The source code: https://github.com/alifeee/occupation-data. Did you know that in Exeter, two people work producing tobacco products?
- I put 105 photos from 2023 into a photo album. I haven't yet written captions for them, but I desire to.
- I finished my rag rug experiment. It's very nice, very tactile. I may make a much larger one.
- I (half-) made a digital version of a mind mind map from Sheffield Transformed: https://github.com/alifeee/sheffield-transformed-graph
- I fixed my Mahjong necklace (and a few others) by putting it on a new string
- I made an Instagram post.
SENDINGS
- I sent lipu tenpo's print+post of nanpa linja
- I took pictures of the river we walked in and sent it to the river walkers
- I sent an application to join UTAW and was accepted
HACKSPACINGS
- I made a start on a "month update" for the hackspace for July
- I suggested some edits to the hackspace website
LISTENINGS
- I've been enjoying Samuel Pepys' posts on Mastodon from his diary
- I wanted to install Button Stealer, but it looks like Firefox support is lacking
- I listened to Alexei Sayle's Strangers on a Train 26/7/2024, where he met two people going to EMFCamp
- I saw a sign for - and thus looked up and saw if there were anything interesting for - Sheffield Film Festival
- I saw some beautiful new flowers
ATTENDINGS
- I went to Front End Sheffield, where I learnt how to use a screen reader.
- I went to a housewarming. The house was warmed.
- I played Catan, and spend not too small a fraction reading about people's opinions on the game's colonising and growth narratives
THAT'S ALL FOLKS
until next time
stay frosty
