Finally got around to entering the salvageable parts of a busted hand vacuum into my inventory. Surprised to find a microcontroller in there! Not sure what role it'd play. Maybe turning the "charging" LED on and off? I'd have expected that to be a function of the charge controller, though. 馃

Made a tool that takes a list of tab-separated date-integer pairs on stdin and outputs a Github-like heatmap as a PNG on stdout. Still needs some features, but it now produces the output I'd originally wanted. https://codeberg.org/lykso/date-heatmap

Instead of working on my foodbot project, I'm installing Windows 98 with 86Box so I can play Creatures. Had good memories of it from my childhood, so I bought the game from GOG only to find it unusably broken. Dunno what happened to the CD I had, but I've got an ISO. Hope it works!

Reached feature parity with my Python prototype on my foodbot in Go today. Might be breaking things up into too many modules. The project structure feels a bit off to me, anyway. Here's today's bit, building on my nutrition module. https://codeberg.org/lykso/recipes

Wrote my own markup language for rendering to HTML and gemtext. Might still be a little rough around the edges, but it seems to work well enough so far. http://codeberg.org/lykso/lml

Located a keycap puller for my housemate to borrow in about five seconds and was able to retrieve it in less than thirty, thanks to my inventory system. Feels good when a system works so smoothly!

Does anyone else start new projects by writing out a readme detailing how you want the tool to work? I think I've come to depend on this technique to help me clarify what exactly I want to build.

I like cooking without recipes. Tonight I decided to make a "fall-inspired" stir fry. Started with roasted butternut squash and improvised my way into a dish consisting of apples, chestnut mushrooms, kale, lentils, vegetable broth, butter, curry powder, cinnamon, "chicken-seasoned" seitan, and a bit of milk to keep things moist. I measured nothing.

Been stuck on my FoodBot project (now PyMeal) for a while. Have finally come unstuck after reading a couple detailed papers on the problem. Now the problem seems to be that I've been doing everything with shell scripts for so long that I've lost my intution about how to organize Python projects. 馃槵

Finally read William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy. Glad to have read it, if only because I'd been meaning to for some time now. It certainly suffers from the "Seinfeld is unfunny" phenomenon common to most seminal works, unfortunately.

Feels good to resume my inventory project after a long hiatus. I've identified the bugs in sc-im as a friction point for myself, so I'm working to replace it in my workflow with a collection of shell scripts.

Working on paring back my possessions again and cataloguing that which I want to keep. Having a bit of scotch along with it for the first time in a long time. My hair's going gray and I'm becoming less ambitious, which is probably for the better. I have too many half-finished projects about. Found this gemsite today: gemini://d.moonfire.us/ The author's idea, picking a surname when starting a family, seems like a good one to me. I'd independently come to the same conclusion. Was nice seeing someone else had as well.

Finding myself trying to pay more attention to how much energy I'm using and when I'm using it. Trying to shift my more energy-intensive activities toward the daytime, when my solar panels are providing most of my electricity. It's proving an interesting exercise. I think I might start carrying a USB stick with media I might want and using that instead of my local NAS in the evenings...

Last night I watched "Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda." It's a documentary about a Japanese composer who, at the time, was battling throat cancer. It was a nice, calm, meandering film. I enjoyed it.

There are not many ideologies today, it seems, that encourage consuming less in order to reclaim more of one's free time for oneself. Yet I think this is a necessary plank in our transition to a greener future. I feel this could be helped along by encouraging simple, maximally inclusive communal activities. Much of our consumption today seems directed toward compensating for a loss of non-consumption-oriented community. I say this as one living in a relatively affluent Western country, granted.

Last night I referred to my own post on Station from about a month ago (linked below) to make another tempeh-and-rice concoction. Had to use honey because we were out of maple syrup. Still turned out alright. I think some ginger would've made it even better, though gemini://station.martinrue.com/lykso/82c7fc62e52a45d48331bf006ae4c370

I had a Raspberry Pi 4 I wasn't using, so last night I flashed LibreELEC to an SD card and set it up to connect to my backup box over Wireguard. Now I don't have to spin up my gaming box to watch things! Haven't plugged it into a Kill-a-watt yet, but I suspect the Pi is using 1/4 to 1/10 of the electricity my gaming box does. Also, no fan noise.

After a period of low-energy, of the sort I'm learning to ride out by taking some time to relax and play games or read things (rather than trying to force myself into "productivity," which really never seems to work), I've spent today almost entirely productively. Wife has termed this "business mode." It's been nice.

I find my engagement with video content and text content is different. Video content "goes down" easier, but tends to not engage my thinking as deeply. Reading text *feels* more difficult, but I also feel like it forces me to consider every detail more thoroughly. I could easily spend all day consuming visual content, and I have in the past, but I find myself working to cut out that kind of content lately. I must be getting old. 馃槣
