We had such an amazing time at our #YoMos2024#workshop last week at the #Federsee research station that we have to extend all the #impressions into a few more Toots!
Thanks to everyone participating, you were such a great and synergetic group of Young Modellers in #Ecology 💚 We think you can see it in our faces as well!
PS.: We are new on Mastodon, so we invite you to follow along to keep updated about our many doings in the future! @gfoe
#CfP für den #Workshop "Das war‘s. #Praktiken und #Ästhetiken des Aufhörens", der am 6. und 7. März 2025 am Kulturwissenschaftlichen Institut Essen (KWI @kwi_essen) stattfinden wird.
💡 La Nostra Rete è un #laboratorio per scoprire e ripensare il #Web nella sua dimensione profondamente sociale.
Attraverso esperimenti e racconti, intraprenderemo un viaggio nella storia di #Internet, immaginando insieme un futuro digitale partecipato e orizzontale, ovviamente partendo dal #Fediverso! 🚀
Sarei felice se mi aiutaste a far girare (siamo un po’ in ritardo, belin)!
#CfP für den #Workshop "Grenzgängerin. Die #Reportage-/literatur als entgrenztes #Medium der Öffentlichkeitsgestaltung", der am 24. Oktober 2024 im LWL-Museum Zeche Zollern in Dortmund stattfinden wird.
We're thinking of running an introductory #workshop based on our 'Reframing Recognition' course. Interested? Sign up here and we'll let you know when we schedule a date: https://forms.gle/57n9H1aSaByJTyQA7
There are still some spots left:

DEMYSTIFYING FONT LICENSING
—
In this workshop with the Darden Studio CEO Joyce Ketterer @joyceketterer End User License Agreements (EULAs) will be discussed from both perspectives, as a type foundry protecting their work, and as a font user utilizing fonts for commercial and non-commercial purposes.

My dear husband @gpumoto got bored after having built the handicapped bathroom for my café, so he ordered some wood for his new workshop.
Getting that big pile of wood into the hall was a bit of a challenge, but with some wiggeling and a lot of expertise, Gray got it done!
The advantage of living in an industrial zone is having all sorts of building companies nearby!
Press 1 - 6 to select/launch/reset any of the examples
Press Space to download screenshot
Apart from the raster bars and lissajous curve all other demos can be interacted with via mouse
Open the browser console to see the (already transpiled) source code of all examples
Example #1: Scribble & color cycling
Hold down left mouse button to cycle the colors (the current palette is also always shown in bottom-left corner). Nice, powerful oldskool effect, which is actually easier to do with these indexed, non-RGB pixel buffers[1]
Example #2: Lissajous bobs
The spheres are actually 2x2 tiles of 8x8 pixel sprites with one color slot chosen as transparency. Drawing 100 spheres here, but could be a lot more...
Example #3: Raster bars
This oldskool effect is achieved via HSYNC interrupts only, i.e. no lines are being drawn — for every single pixel row we simply change the color value of the first palette entry. The text is also only being drawn once, at startup...
Example #4: Particle system
Simple particle system (2k particles) with the emitter position linked to the mouse. 6% probability for larger particles.
Example #5: Random pattern
Classic oldskool generative art, here by defining 4 custom bitmap font characters and then drawing a single randomly chosen char per frame
Example #6: Bitmap font editor
Select a character on the RHS to edit in the left box. Left click to set a pixel, right click to clear it. Press Delete to clear the char entirely. The system supports proportional width fonts and the little red triangle can be moved horizontally to adjust the width of each char... Clicking on the Save button will download a JSON file of the font's binary data (9 bytes per char: width + 8 data bytes)
In preparation for teaching a 3-day "Computing within limits" workshop @ University of Applied Sciences in Augsburg, almost exactly a year ago (next week) I created a little fantasy console (heavily inspirered by TIC80) to introduce students to:
the idea of virtual machines / computing environments
the freedom to design & control any aspect of that environment (and how this relates to the overall idea of personal computing these days)
designing & building a small (virtual) env from the bottom up (incl. defining opcodes, memory limits, maps/regions, device control registers, interrupts (hsync/vsync), device I/O, comms & multi-tasking possibilities, various retro-computing inspired graphics techniques)
defining a small low-level API/language for creative coding
learning about binary/hex and how that knowledge translates visually
The short video gives an overview of five small examples & tools (incl. a bitmap font editor) I had prepared for the workshop — the entire system was built within a couple of days with http://thi.ng/umbrella and incl. examples is only 12KB (gzipped). In the workshop we later ended up mostly using the TIC80 instead, since we covered quite a few other wider perma- & retro-computing related topics too... The 3 days were barely enough to provide an overview and have some exploration time...
If anyone is interested in a similar workshop, please do let me know, I'm keen to repeat it/extend it...
(Ps. I will post a link to the interactive version later too)
We know #Python packaging can be a bit of a spicy subject, but we promise it doesn't have to be!
If you're a scientist who codes in Python, but is a bit shy about creating a package, come join our "Build Your First Python Package!" workshop, happening this Thursday (online!).
We promise it will be friendly, supportive, and hey, even a little bit fun.
🔎 It’s easy to get lost in the crowd when you take an online course, which is why our upcoming “From Python Code to Module” course is capped at 35 students, and uses Spatial Chat to ensure every learner gets the attention they deserve.
💜 So if you’ve ever want a gentle introduction to #Python packaging, look no further! We’ll take you from zero to installation in 3 hours.
🤔 Want to learn the basics of #Python packaging in a friendly, supportive, and low-stress environment? Register for our “From Python Code to Module” live, online workshop, and learn everything you need to know to get up and running!
💜 The class size is capped at 35 so that we can ensure every learner gets all the attention they need.
📣 Registration is LIVE for the #pyOpenSci “From Python Code to Module” #workshop, happening Thursday, April 25th, at 10AM Mountain time.
What you’ll learn:
📦 the basic components of a #Python package
🧰 how to build a basic Python package
⬇️ how to install the package you built into a Python environment
Ich lese ja immer wieder mal von Resonanz und dass viele Klicks irgendetwas bedeuten und dass deshalb das Fedi nicht so "gut geeignet" sei und dachte gerade an die dreistellige Anzahl Klicks, die meine #Workshop-Ankündigung bei LinkedIn hatte und keine einzige Anmeldung, die aus dieser Ecke kam... Klicks sind eben nicht alles.
Trotzdem oder gerade deshalb hier kurz der Werbeblock: bis zum 10.4. könnt Ihr Euch noch fürs nächste #StimmTraining anmelden: https://eveeno.com/hoerbar424 #hörbar#Stimme
Not liking other alternatives, such as "Icecreaming" (too vague), "Drink your own champaign" (too posh), and "Eat the food you cook" (too long).
A definition may be:
> Self Delivery is a continual improvement method whereby the creator of a solution is also a client that uses it, gaining insight in how the solution conforms to stated needs, that are fed back into the design proces.
