Turn your usual habit into something that everyone praises

Company: Govt says you should stay home to prevent spreading the disease. PLZ WFH.

People start to WFH.
VPN gets overwhelmed.

Me: Cannot connect to VPN.

Boss: Then go in the office!!!

Me: Uhh...

The best part about home office isn't that you can fart without co-workers getting annoyed. It's that you can even use a lighter on the fart to see whether it will burn.

Lets wait for the build to finish

I perfected the art of tying a noose

!dev :(

I am cleaning, disinfecting, bagging and sealing produce and deliver it in survival packs so people don't need to get out of their houses.

The country is in total lockdown, people are strongly encouraged to stay at home.
Bars, social activities and whatnot are closed.

Only excuse to be outside is to be buying groceries or going to the hospital.
Supermarkets only allow 1 person per household, so.

A Coronavirus tracker made with Vue and stuff. Gave me the opportunity to learn Vue. Pretty cool

Built my first mechanical keyboard over the last few days...

Had to desolder every switch and LED after I fucked up the directions. I wasn’t even mad because what the hell else am I gonna do during this quarantine?

Now I’m trying to learn QMK to get the RGB strip programmed and working and to figure out why the caps lock turns on the LED on LCTRL

Not fun, exactly, but trying to convert a Wordpress site into GatsbyJS to speed up the godawful site of an organization I just joined.

Practice social distancing to minimize the spread of CoronaVirus.

In this view, the Python logo should be updated temporarily.

Haven't started this project yet, but I've been considering ordering another Raspberry Pi and turning it into a voice assistant using Mycroft. I've been wanting to play around with IoT stuff for a while, and since I'm practically confined to my apartment for the foreseeable, there's no better time to get started.

Still trying to understand a good old pile of legacy:

function isValidDate($value) {
if ($value == "" || ($value == 0 && is_numeric($value)) {
return true;
}
// goes on to check if value is some number between 2000 and current year
}

Because my work is remote, whether I’m in the office or remoting in via VPN, it’s still the same. I just don’t have to spend an hour in traffic each way. If anything, things have been busier.

Participating in a non-profit project related to corona outbreak. It should help thousands of people to say at home, have a peace of mind and stay healthy.

Our project should go Live this/next week and we already have a blessing from our government. They are already making some legal exceptions to us.

That feels good!

I’m currently migrating all my stuff to docker :) working quite well so far but my Webserver (caddy) is driving me crazy

LLVM. Fun as fuck. Especially when all the C++ API examples from online don't even compile anymore.

hmmmmmm let me see.

Web based? lets do web based.

Do something simple like a basic crud app on web api format:
Do it with full authorization and authentication.
Start hard. Do it with pure golang using NOTHING but the std libraries.
Now, do it in a magic mvc framework like Rails or Laravel
Now do it on dotnet core
Now do it in django rest.

Watch the differences in all of them, sell your soul to something and now do it in Clojure. If you do it on a Scheme dialect or on Common Lisp my CMS admin will suck your whatever you have. Dude seems to be pretty good at it, we are trying to keep him from pulling tricks on the street but he insists.

Then add a React client with Typescript to get them basic ass endpoints to display nicely.

It should give you a fuckload of perspective amongst the different tools and way we do things and might make you appreciate the differences in paradigms required(pro points for doing modular in c# dotnetcore using different classlibs for the major points of the application using some crazy pattern like the mediator pattern)

I would hire a mfker that throws all this shit at me on a portfolio on the spot.

School stuff. Teachers have loads of pdfs and they're just giving them to us on Google Classrooms to do in our books. Maybe a tool to transform those into proper forms + marking.

Also, a revision app that scans your notes and tests you (TTS and STT).

Also, my blog and DevRant

Writing an email client in java.
Yes I consider it """fun""".

Making my sleep period do a backflip by having 25-26hr days. It shortens the quarantine and feels more healthy than trying to cram all the work, sleep and procrastinating into 24 hours.

I'm rewriting the wrapper I've been using for a couple years to connect to Lord of the Rings Online, a windows app that runs great in wine/dxvk, but has a pretty labyrinthine set of configs to pull down from various endpoints to craft the actual connection command. The replacement I'm writing uses proper XML parsing rather than the existing spaghetti-farm of sed/grep/awk/etc. I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

Just started a simulation of the effects of social distancing, havent done behaviour modelin in a looong time so my skills are pretty rusty. Other than that im mostly drawing, i cant just code all day if i dont want to burn out.

1. I deleted Ubuntu and installed... you know, that one distro that everyone probably knows about... and whose name starts with a letter 'A'... and ends with 'h'. Now I'm trying to make it look nice.
2. I'm making a small Pastebin clone in Rust.

I funded a miniature six axis robot arm on kickstarter last summer. As it is going to arrive in a few days, my plan for the quarantine time is to make him pour out booze, which can be „ordered“ via a web frontend.

Unfortunately, the robot arm can only lift 150 grams, which is too less for a bottle, so i am currently wondering how to realize the pouring out mechanism 🤔

Im starting to make a project to manage incoming emails from my teachers. It's gonna sort them by class and filter out a bunch of junk that college sends me. Also gonna set it up so it's easier for me to keep track of which things I've done and what I am working on, as well as probably have something that shows how soon things are due.

I have a holiday now 😂 SMH

Learning CUDA

Rewriting all my MIT App Inventor apps that use online resources to make them use the new dictionaries instead of lists of pairs for the JSON responses. Super fun.

Making distributed scheduler that queue and run tasks on containers or other executors in future and also pulls new tasks from defined git repositories.

Tasks are added based on simple yaml configuration.

Need that for my side projects that gather data from multiple sources from time to time.

k8s looks to heavy for that and airflow can’t be configured like I want it to be so I started writing my own on Monday.
Nearly finished poc version.

Setup an Urbit planet
Got it working and it’s beautiful
Started doing development
Broke my planet because I’m me
Now I’m sad as I try to figure out how to fix it and not doing development

Kind of thinking of making one of those COVID-19 infection simulators. Might be interesting to use a particle swarm type of algorithm for it.

Teaching my family to code and delegating my tasks while working "remotely".

i learned how to make radial menus on canvas :) from knowing nothing at all about anything related to canvas, i got a working menu in about 6 hours

I worked on a game about or politicians sending home tourists, is a brawler. I'm still working on it tho.

I'am porting a react app to a bunch of web components, I've been told, WebComponents is what the cool kids use these days
