Took a stroll down a charming little street in London last night only to find the house that Agatha Christie used to live in. What a delightful evening.

Had fun hanging out with some Esperanto friends in Oxford today. Even after 5 years of this thing, I still find wonder in the fact my brain can encode any thought I have into a language invented by a crazy Polish eye doctor in the 1880s.

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 :)

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. 👊

💡 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 :)

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.

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.
