Weeknotes 39

Welcome. Time-aligned this week. And bullet points. The best !

For fun, I have separated these out into days, but I will not be providing titles. You must guess the edges of each day, where one ends, and where one begins.

What did I do this week?

• I booted Pop!_OS on my laptop. I already had a boot iso on a USB stick so I thought I'd try it out. It seemed fine. Eventually I might boot it on my laptop, but I'd have to get a new M.2 SSD as my laptopt only has one slot.
• I* went to a meeting
• I posted a blog post! about my sellotape dispenser! Read it here: https://blog.alifeee.co.uk/2024/09/sellotape-dispenser/
• I* went to a club and took some candy cigarettes to hand out
• I* created a timelapse of Catan
• I fixed my website, as the layout was broken on mobile for about a week after I changed it.
• I made a recurring weather image on my server. I use it on my website homepage and also on my Android homescreen using web image widget. It displays the weather near me! and looks very cute! The repo is here: https://github.com/alifeee/weather_landscape/. In a weeknotes-first, here is the current image:

• I made a script to convert an image into an arbitrary other image format using ImageMagick's convert: https://gist.github.com/alifeee/fc33ea141cf1a5085498d81c460d0d59
