When you're trying to find out about something and all you find are "unboxing" videos.

MF I don't want to watch you open the packaging? WTF is wrong with you?

I like to chew on a catfish head all day long. It makes me feel Presidential. You know, nothing gets respect like an open, druelly mouth showing you a gnawed up catfish head. #Bigfoot

My first white butterfly of the year.

Seems likely they are more "flighty" in the spring and early summer when the flowers are a bit sparser. But if you're patient you'll eventually come across one feeding calmly.

So, 21 Republicans in Congress are planning on slowing things down and not doing any work in protest of Felon Trump being prosecuted.

My question is simple. How will we know the difference?

I’m excited to say that I turned in my manuscript for the ActivityPub book for O’Reilly Media today. I started working on it in September of 2023, with a lot of interim checkpoints and deadlines since. In April 2024, I finished the first draft of the manuscript. Over the month of May, I’ve been working on improvements suggested by the technical reviewers who agreed to look over the book, and from my own re-read.

In total, my TODO file for this month has about 250 changes to be made. Some are small — just changing a word or two — but one required adding a whole new chapter, and many required multi-paragraph sections.

I took the last week of May off from my work at Open Earth Foundation to concentrate on making changes. My team was really supportive, which I deeply appreciated. I went to our country house in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and I spent the week writing, editing, drawing and thinking.

Now, the next stage of book making starts: production. The production team at O’Reilly will be copyediting, indexing, and laying out the book. Their designers will be taking my UML diagrams and turning them into professional-looking illustrations. We have two rounds of quality control on code samples and fact checking on content.

In September 2024, the final e-book will be available for sale. I’ll have a link here for the pre-sale version when it comes out. If you’re eager to read the book, I highly recommend reviewing the early release version.

Thanks so much to my friends, family and colleagues who’ve made space and time for me to do this work. It has meant a lot to me. I hope the final product helps more developers create cool projects using ActivityPub.

My friend made https://amtrack.live/ and it's neat!

If you take Amtrak and want info on train status/delays, it's annoying that the official Amtrak website is slow to load & doesn't have train status perma-URLs to bookmark/share. https://railrat.net/ is pretty good but has ads. amtrack.live is faster & has no ads.

It's Friday! YAY!

It's getting increasingly difficult to fit all the dancers on to the screen & make loops that fit with ALL THE OTHER LOOPS (it totally stuffed the timing for this one) so next week will be the last, when I hit a year (!)

I like having a Friday Thing though, so will do #FridaySparklyDanceParty any week there are volunteers, & probably just random dancers on other weeks.

As ever, have a great weekend if you possibly can 😃

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation

Hand drawn animation loop. There are 51 simple figures each doing their own dance move. The main body of the screen is an orange starburst sky, with a rainbow framing the top. 48 dancers are on the lines of the rainbow, doing their thing. The new dancer for this week is larger, and centre stage on a cloud at the bottom, with a dancer either side for company.

What are the best Substack alternatives these days? I’m updating my old WIRED article and want to make sure I don’t miss anything. I’ve go Buttondown, Beehiiv, and Ghost in the list already

croyle, 19 days ago to 3DPrinting

I rearranged the power supply and body of my FTM-500 because I noticed that even if the radio had been off, if I left the PS on it created enough heat for the 500's fan to come on and stay on when powered up. That was with the radio body stacked directly on top of the PS... So I split them up onto their own shelves. I then also made #3Dprint risers that have a hex pattern for better ventilation, particularly on the PS which has most of its vents on the underside. #hamradio

Why it’s fun teaching teens: you’re so often there for their “lucky 10,000!” moments. Example from yesterday:

Me: And that system of tuning is called Pythagorean tuning

Student: Wait, like the Pythagorean thing from math?

Me: Yeah, Pythagoras was interested in music as well as math!

S: Wait, there was a guy?!? I thought it was just a name for a math formula!

'More than two years into Russia's war on Ukraine, the fighting continues. A group of Ukrainian military members who have faced the harsh reality of war but have talents in music, poetry and theater, created a group called Ukraine’s Cultural Forces. They perform for Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the front lines. They’re performing across the US to show their thanks for America's continued support for Ukraine. '
