2024–W16 #
- I waxed a pair of jeans with a hot air gun and a double boiler. I wasn't thrilled with the results but tried again using a crock-pot (for melting) and an iron with parchment paper (for setting) and it was miles better.
- I made a weight?
- It's basically a piece of steel with an M8 tapped into it and an eye hook but it was cool to tap a material that was so hard.
- I had to expand the hole with the metal mill.
- I painted it, but hated the paint job.
- So I sandblasted it clean again.
- It was a lot of work for one weight!?
- Added
markdowntothymesheetand learned a bit more about how to useMap<>in Rust. - Tapped a 1/4-20 hole into two different bases for lights that I have around my office.
- One for a fill light Shopify provided.
- One for a little mini-spot that's usually camera mounted.
- Pleased with these little modifications.
- Dyed the armchair cover black.
- It came out purple.
- Rit is not magic.
- Wrote a Solarized GL shader and customized my colour setup, a little unproductively.
- But I had fun!
- Sandblasted some stuff.
- Thinking that the space vs. usefulness trade-off of the sandblaster is not good.
- Lunch with CL while I was in the city at coworking.
- Back to some Tailwind and DaisyUI
- I am not loving it.
- For now I went back to just writing CSS. CSS is easier?!?
- Got injected Config working in Rocket for Thymesheet.
- It's kind of nice how you can do dependency injection, even if I initially complained about it
- Update from the future: it continues to rock!
- I reworked my desktop / office computer situation. Have a terrible Windows machine ("of last resort") and will work on simplifying what I do until it fits into a Linux-only world.
- Reaper on Linux is a pretty great step in that direction. I have a few plugins set up there and it's actually nice not to have the overwhelming setup that I had on Windows.
- No two ways: I am going to miss Fusion 360. If not for modelling, then for CAM. (But also for modelling).
