Weekly Post 10

Hey there. Long time no talk. I didn’t get back into the rhythm after vacation, so I didn’t end up posting. But I realized I missed it a lot, mainly to have a medium to remember what happened in a week. So, we are back, and lets see if I can improve this workload for me. Quite fitting for double digits posts. I am writing my bachelor thesis this month and only have one exam (in form of a small project) left, which is rather exciting.

Recap

This week, I had a spontaneous nice board game meetup on Monday. Tuesday I wrote a compliment letter for a friend, part of a surprise for them, which is such a nice idea to have. I spend my time Wednesday and Friday cutting together two videos, which is always a fun challenge to me. And Thursday I planned a weekend for the volunteers from my youth work. Friday my old roomate made a suprise visit, we talked a lot which was so nice. And the weekend was a family gathering of my girlfriend’s and on Sunday we will play a second round of the Hide and Seek transit game.

Culinary highlight

I did a vegan bee sting cake (these sections always expand my vocabulary). I liked it a lot, could have done a bit more caramelized almonds.

Currently watching/reading/listening

We finished with quite a bit of Brandon Sandersons Cosmere. Currently we are reading Arcanum Unbounded, though I am a bit preoccupied with other stuff and can’t do a lot of reading.

And I want to start to share music I listen to in this section. This week goes to Feed the Machine from PoorMansPosion, YouTube music link. I got so much an earworm from it that I learned the accords on the guitar, the rhythm is kinda tricky for me.

Games

We recently learned of Fun Facts and it is a great party game for groups of people. Doesn’t matter if they know themselves or not. And I learned Port Royal (a classic) has some extensions, so I bought the Adventure one which I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Projects

I did an art. I installed this LED matrix in our corridor. Anyone can add their tickers to it if they want, and next step is to swap from WiFi to serial (the esp wifi chip disconnects too much and takes too long to work through packets), and add integration with our public transportation so I know if I get the next bus/train.

And I improved the image handling here, the tooltips now show properly in the images (including on mobile!) and I have proper alt description possibility.

As always, make the best out of your day!
