And also, what a view.

I'm so happy Peter was willing to spend the afternoon with us and help us out with our things.

Felt a bit irritable this morning, took the day off the computer to catch up on sewing projects, it made me feel better.

Also, it's this unending fucking downpour all the time that's getting on my nerves I think.

Best equipped workshop in Victoria is on our friend and neighbor's boat.

@opfez we're lucky to be among boaters, they're the ultimate diyers.

@opfez books

@opfez @noa Well, you caught me right before I changed my answer. I was considering this for a minute, and I think my personal favourite way is asking people who know directly.

I think I prefer asking someone directly to do something and to show me, than going through a book. I love tackling specific issues, and books often instead give me, a general overview of solutions. I'd say mentors is my favourite resource.

brain: people on the internet suck.
stomach: no, you're just hungry and you haven't move at all for 3 days.

"IIII" What the heck?!

A truth window is an opening in a wall surface, created to reveal the layers or components within the wall. In a strawbale house, a truth window is often used to show the walls are actually made from straw bales.

A small section of a wall is left unplastered on the interior, and a frame is used to create a window which shows only straw, which makes up the inside of the wall.

Found this extra space behind one of the walls of the ship, added hinges, turned it into a door.

@changbai how to make a bowline knot, with your eyes closed.

Recently, I've been working hard to put together a little interactive programing learning thingy.

The REPL will be called Bicycle, in reference to "bicycle for the mind", but also being heavily inspired from the ZX Spectrum BASIC, the graphic for it is Varvara ridding Sinclair's bicycle.

The drawing was made by @rek, and I can't tell you how much I love it!

The very first step of the Uxn REPL. This tiny inline assembler will allow me to make a rom that will act as a sort of playground for new adventurers.

The REPL now supports multi-line editing and I've hidden most of the debug widgets for a cleaner UI.

Progressing on the REPL. Showing the prompt, stack and assembled program side-by-side.

This is turning into quite the livecoding environment.

The Bicycle can now assemble hello world 🚴

That's it, I've re-written Hydra..

@rostiger I'm hoping to build a new rom that comes with the emulator that is more like an invitation to explore the system, than something that merely launches apps.
