I have to be in London next week, when for some insane reason, it's going to be 37º in the city. Never heard of such crazy temperatures. I'm currently writing a will, just in case.

I have noticed a bit more Esperanto being used on Station lately, so I'm taking the opportunity to pimp a post I wrote about the language – about why I love it, how I got started, and it also includes a little chat bot: https://martinrue.com/zamenhofa-tago-18

It's a beautiful day in the city – a rare occasion to enjoy coffee shops that didn’t commit to fully building their walls despite an average rainfall that challenges the definition of the words “under” and “water” taken together.

Really impressed with how much grassroots work is going on across Gemini. Shout out to @superfxchip, @smokey, @acidus, @krixano, @bacardi55, @skyjake, @gnuserland, @mozz to mention but a few very cool people building new things and extending the reach of Gemini in cool new directions. 🙌

Just did a pretty hardcore run and hit 192bpm. Based on one's estimated max of 220-age, I'm now officially 28. Might have to ditch Station for TikTok at this rate!

It's a "file - new project" kind of day. I love the thrill of building something new. No brush strokes have yet hit the canvas – everything is a possibility. I mean, sure, 3 hours from now it'll be a bonfire, but I really enjoy these pre-flame moments.

What's everyone working on this week? Me: It has been great weather here in the UK, so I've been doing a bit more hanging out with friends than usual. Last night I hung out with a group of local Esperanto speakers which was super fun, and tonight I'm finally getting back to writing some code!

Spent the last few days renovating the home office. It was a lot of work, but I'm pretty happy with the final result: https://twitter.com/martinrue/status/1538628931468804109

Keto going well. I'm 8 days in and weight is already down 3.1kg, body fat down by 0.8 percent. Energy levels are good and I'm generally feeling miles better eating no carbs / sugar.

Of all the things I write as a programmer, I still love writing a little CLI app more than anything else. Handling basic input and output and leaving behind all the web/app UX concerns is just so refreshing.

Station just hit 700 people! It's really cool to see this place still growing. I should pull out all the sign-up dates and graph it at some point.

Just found out some fiction I wrote for a competition will be published in a book sometime this year. Really happy about that! It's something I had never done before, so I had to give it a go. 🙏

For my Esperanto speaking friends here: one of my favourite words in Esperanto is "ŝanĝiĝi". Here's why, plus a little glimpse into how my brain works. https://twitter.com/martinrue_eo/status/1524381880958783488/photo/1 PS: apologies to linking to "the other site", but images.

Observation: to be really creative I need time to play – time that other goals or distractions have no control over. It seems like a trivial observation, yet it's so easy to fill your calendar and leave no time for that sort of work/behaviour to occur.

Oops, it turns out I never expected Station to last 1 year :) Sorry about the cert issues folks. We now have a new one that (once trusted) will keep us going the next 10 years. Also happy 1 year anniversary to this cool little corner of the internet. 🎉 PS: Thanks for the heads-up @comatoast @obspogon @haze. 🙏

After far too long, I spent the whole weekend hanging out with Esperanto speakers at the Brita Kongreso here in the UK (in Wales). It was awesome to be around old and new friends, using only Esperanto for the whole weekend. I forgot how much I love escaping the real world and living in Esperantujo. Really can't wait for IJK in summer, where instead of 60 people it'll be more like 200 . 🙏

I'm pleased to announce that after a swift and relatively easy board meeting, we've voted unanimously to reject Elon's bid to buy Station.

It's a "long weekend" here in the UK due to the Easter holidays. I hope those with the benefit of the extra time off work have something/relaxing planned. I'll mostly be coding and settling back into life in the UK after a little time spent living in Spain – I'm still saying "¡la cuenta porfa!" in restaurants here!
