When I feel like I need to escape my current reality for a bit, switching language really helps hit that spot. Anyone else experience that? 📚

Feeling great after a perfect weekend of enjoying the beautiful weather with the best company, lots of cycling, sticking to the gym routine and many hours with the compiler. Hope you all had a similarly refreshing weekend. 🙌

I'm curious: among the cycle crowd, do you guys have a word for the pain of having a bicycle seat shoved up your ass for the first time after a long break? Asking for a friend.... 's ass, obvs.

Anyone here ride a Onewheel or an EUC? I'm very tempted to buy one, but would love to hear others' experiences.

In about 6 hours, I'll be giving a talk about my journey to learn Esperanto through building things. The talk will not be in English though, of course. Details here, if anyone's interested: https://eventaservo.org/e/3c6a62

Just landed back into Manchester with such a tailwind that we bounced off the runway and had a second go. That was fun!

I love the Esperanto community. Simply because I'm here in Barcelona, 12 of us are getting together for dinner this evening. It's been said before, but if you want to make friends, learn Esperanto. 😌

What a great weekend. Heading home after spending the last 3 days in the world of Esperanto with 80 other crazy people from all over the world. The escape from normality (and English) is such a nice change. Really looking forward to much more of this in the summer!

I'm spending the weekend at La Brita Kongreso in Cambridge and there are 80 people here this year. It's been too long since I had the pleasure of hanging out with so many Esperanto speakers for a few days. Always surreal, awesome, and just lots of fun!

There's nothing better than going back to being a beginner again. Making something from scratch – something you've never made before, and something that pushes you out of your comfort zone. Here's the result: https://youtu.be/wAe0rhT-Gvooo It wasn't easy to produce this, and took a lot longer than the 7 minutes of video that came out. But it was fun, and very rewarding to lean into that feeling of "I don't know what I'm doing but let's figure it out!" I'm looking forward to doing more!

Three years ago today I finished the weirdest translation ever: from Yorkshire to Esperanto. I'm especially proud of my use of "elŝuskatoliĝi" – to get out of the shoebox. https://kvar.martinrue.com

I've been busy – the second episode of my Esperanto podcast is already out. I really enjoyed chatting to Andy Hernandez Martínez about everything from travel to eating and living more healthily. La dua epizodo de mia podkasto jam haveblas. Mi tre ĝuis babili kun Andy Hernandez Martínez pri ĉio de vojaĝado, de kiel manĝi kaj vivi pli sane, inter aliaj temoj. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1oQKyzMH0a3vHS0rEWiLSp?si=f4184a6d74e843aa RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/dd97c5c4/podcast/rss

Cool! I just discovered that someone's used my Esperanto speech synthesiser (https://parol.martinrue.com) to play the role of an Esperanto robot in an audio book. It's always a delight when people use stuff you've built. 👏

There should be a word for that awesome moment when you have a coding problem like "I know what I need to achieve, but I'm not sure about these three things in my way..." and some deep part of your brain pipes up and is like "you seem like a nice guy, I'm going to help you out."

TIL: words such as "i18n", "a16z", "K8s" and "a11y" are officially called numeronyms. Or n8s, if you like.

The four stages of developer grief: 1. Not sure how to solve this one so I'll just wing it. 2. Oh wait, if I do this, oh yeah, and that... nice. 3. I should make this into an open source lib for others. 4. One day I'll find time to solve that problem!
