Today I'm going to fill a coffee shop with background murmurs in Esperanto with some local speakers & learners. Our little group is growing, which is great to see. Topics will likely range from the insanity of natural language grammar to how speaking Esperanto has ruined any expectation of progress in other languages for us all :)

In my Spanish class I just volunteered a very confident answer to the confusion of everyone else. Turned out I said it in Esperanto. This happens annoyingly often. 😂

I got invited to speak + do a Q&A with a bunch of people from Indonesia who read a novella I wrote in Esperanto. I love how unexpected life can be sometimes.

I've just heard someone be introduced as "an individual who defies summary". Two things. 1: That's going right into my personal phrase book for a few wise people I know. 2: Goals.

And so it begins. After a few months of eating whatever I like, I’m starting another 3 month period of Time Restricted Feeding. Each year I aim to have at least two 2-3 month stints of strict, daily (17-18h) intermittent fasting. It gives my body a rest from the constant energy input that we’re not really meant to get like we do in the modern world. Not to mention some of the other huge benefits (hey autophagy). Looking forward to enjoying hunger and appreciating food again. 👊

A starry night. A reminder of the shortness of things. We’re all destined for the place we’ve already been for 13.7 billion years. Make it count.

💡 Idea Mobile coffee stand. Cups have your name on them. Obvious branding of cup signals: I bought this coffee as I'm open to chatting to a stranger – you already have my name, feel free to talk to me. Sell it at train + bus stations, subways, places where people spend time waiting and want some human interaction over HTTP requests. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or a terrible one, but it would at least make a fun experiment.

My first MAN/LON train of the year and I've drawn the "due to a points failure" card. Proceed directly to cancellation. Do not collect £200. The train system in the UK is shockingly bad. Burn it to the ground and start over. But in all seriousness, please don't set fire to it. It's so hopeless it'd just make me sad about the tragic waste of fire.

It's a new year – a nice time to reflect and focus on goals for 2023, and I'm wondering what's on everyone's agenda. So, what's your main focus for 2023? What do you want to achieve? Let's share our plans/ambitions/dreams and create a little thread full of inspiration and encouragement. Bonus: we can review it next year in 2024 :)

👋 2023. Looking forward to another year of setting goals, meeting them, spending time with friends, making new friends, going on new adventures, finding new inspirations, failing, laughing. Happy new year, folks. ☺️

What a lovely surprise! I just received a copy of the book my novella is published in. During the pandemic, a friend inspired me to enter a writing competition to write about the pandemic experience (fiction or non) and I wrote a fictional story called The Hug Club (la brakumklubo) which was selected and included in the final book. 🙏 https://social.martinrue.com/system/media_attachments/files/109/609/420/273/262/378/original/64f20e2b182f45d9.jpeg

Anyone else code in their head while doing something else, such as walking home? I catch myself doing it fairly often. I like to think about what I need to do next, how I might go about it, potential issues I’ll run into. I find it really helpful to keep the context, and sometimes the entire program, in my head.

Do any of you do any live coding via Twitch? I'm tempted to do some for my current project, and I'm curious about people's experiences. 🤔

Wow, you can no longer even mention other social media platforms on Twitter or it’ll be a considered a violation and they’ll suspend your account. Twitter is definitely in a death spiral at this point, no? It’s now by far the least free platform I still (for now) have an account on.

I don't even know how this happens, but I just discovered: In Braille each rectangle of up to 6 raised dots encodes a character (so 2⁶ values). So "just do it" is the following sequence of 10 blocks (unraised gaps acts as spaces to separate words): ⠚⠥⠎⠞⠀⠙⠕⠀⠊⠞ However, Braille Grade 2 supports special free-standing single-character combinations to stand in for common words. "Just do it" consists entirely of such special words, so it can be written like so: ⠚⠀⠙⠀⠭ ⠧⠀⠉⠕⠕⠇

Feliĉan Zamenhofan tagon al vi ĉiuj. Kia ĝojo esti parto de tiu ĉi monda, mojosa komunumo de frenezuloj (vi ĉiuj – ne mi, kompreneble). Kaj dank' al Esperanto, ĉiuj aliaj lingvoj nun ŝajnas multe tro pezaj, do vi neniam forigos min. Happy Esperanto (Zamenhof) day! What a joy to be part of this global, cool community of crazy people (you all, not me of course). And thanks to Esperanto, every other language is just way too weird and demanding, so you're stuck with me now.
