👋 Hey, I created Station. I love writing code, building things and learning languages. Mi parolas Esperanton.

I have a bit of good news to share, but for once I'm sitting on it, telling nobody, and enjoying the presence of it. I never let things truly sink in, so I'm trying something new.

As the weather is getting a bit colder now, don't forget that laptops easily double up as portable radiators. Just fire off enough background "yes /dev/null &" processes until your legs are nice and toasty, then "killall yes". You're welcome.

Speaking of vlogs: I just uploaded another! Here's what I got up to in Valencia and Barcelona last week: https://youtu.be/A-2fu2JAhMw

Downside of going from 1080p to 4k in my vlogs: now I desperately want a better laptop. Upside: I'm a bit warmer.

Last night I was at Barcelona's monthly Esperanto social event (in a bar) and a 10 year old boy came along with his Mum. He'd started learning on Duo a few months back and could already speak well enough to us to tell us about himself and how he discovered Esperanto. Really cool.

I had dinner with my friend and her Mum last night. Her Mum (80) speaks only Spanish and my friend and I only have Esperanto in common. It was amazing. Absolute chaos... y creo que mi español mejoró al menos un poquito por eso!

I hope everyone's having a great start to the week. I've taken a little break to hang out in Barcelona and make some progress on some personal projects. What's everyone else up to?

New vlog! This was a fun one to make. Hugely impressed with the quality of the video captured by the DJI Mini 4. https://youtu.be/QK4wTZM0-24?si=e_93-d3GWscSQkmX

I've been working full-time for the past year and a half saving every penny I can so I can escape the working world (well, at least the version where I work on other people's shit) and go live in SE Asia. I'm getting really close now and it's an unbeliavably freeing feeling. I'm curious... is anyone else doing something similar?

So, what's everyone doing this weekend? Anyone got anything interesting planned?
💬 7 Replies · 7 Thumbs · 1 month ago
I hardly ever read fiction books, but I just finished reading The Shadow of the Wind (in English as my Spanish isn't good enough yet) and I absolutely loved it. Lots of unexpected references to parts of Barcelona I know, too, which added to the experience. Anyone else read it?

I'm going to demo Station in a training session in an hour. Say hello if you see this :)

I've been doing a lot of teaching recently and it's a great reminder of: if you think you know something, try teaching it. Teaching is learning in disguise.

This is an excellent breakdown of the UK ATC meltdown the other week and what caused it. I'm sure it'll surprise no experienced programmer at all to learn of the various issues that led to it. https://jameshaydon.github.io/nats-fail

If you live in the UK and want to get into Esperanto, this free weekend event in October will be great. You can even play Homlupo (Werewolf) with me in the international language. Aimed at every level, even possible to ask for help for hotel costs if you need it. More info: https://esperanto.org.uk/studa-semajnfino

Even though my brain thinks in Esperanto at this point, I occasionally realise I don’t have a word for something. I was chatting to a friend this morning and I needed to say treadmill. To my delight, turns out it’s “kurtapiŝo”, or running carpet.

If having a coffee in the morning isn't working for you, take 2 weeks of leave and then check your email.

I recently spent a few days in Venice (in the cool neighbourhoods). Here's what I got up to. Spoiler: it's mostly me being lost and tortured by mosquitoes. https://youtu.be/_caD0XnBNfI

Venice is such a unique city. 🚙 No cars. 🏍️ No motorbikes. 🚲 No bicycles. Everything is a boat. 🛥️ Bus? Vaporetti. 🚤 Taxi? Also a boat. 🚣 Moving house? Do it on a boat. ⛴️ Dump truck? It's a boat. 🚓 Have cool boats! It's rather nice not seeing a single car.

Okay, I'm off to live with with 220 Esperanto speakers from 52 different countries for a week. Give me another language where I can do that – where everyone experiences the language equally and fairly – and I'll give up Esperanto¹ :) ¹ This is a lie as I have way too many t-shirts.

Productivity hack: there's no hack. It's hard. Confront it. Take responsibility. Make time. Get started any way you can. Stick with it, even while it feels uncomfortable (creative resistance). Don't expect it to always feel good/happy. Stay focused. Don't quit.
