Enjoyed reading @smokey's post this morning about learning Esperanto. Some good observations there, and certainly some truth that it's not all roses (though it is a very nice garden for the most part, IMO). gemini://tilde.team/~smokey/logs/2022-08-14-esperanto-dive.gmi

Awesome! My Esperanto story won third prize. Super happy with that. I even get a cool diploma for it: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FZvjZWVWIAApWys?format=jpg&name=large

Today in 1887 the first book describing the international language Esperanto was published, making it 135 years old today. I'm really glad I became interested enough to learn it ~4 years ago. From travelling and hanging out with like-minded people, to having an international community of friends all over the world, Esperanto has become a fairly big part of my life at this point. AMA!

What a crazy week. Started in Poland, then to London during the hottest days in the UK ever, started new job, then back to Manchester. And I still hit my gym quota! Very grateful for some rest time this weekend. What's everyone else upto?

The short story I wrote in Esperanto for a writing competition (which will soon be published in a book) was read today, for the first time, in a podcast. If you want to listen, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7ej1aJs5gY

This weekend I’ve been in Kraków for a friend’s wedding. It’s actually my first time in Poland, and Kraków in particular is a really nice city. I’ll definitely have to come back next time I’m traveling somewhere nearby. The wedding was also awesome. What a purely happy feeling to see your friends find true happiness.

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.

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.
