#12I’m currently writing my Zettelkasten workbook to consolidate everything I’ve taught on it on YouTube:
Then back to building my Zettelkasten inspired note-taking app Flowtelic:

#13Will continue building Unleash ( https://www.getunleash.io ), still a lot to do.
I reached the bottom of the page without getting a good understanding of what Unleash is. Is it something that deploys applications ? Something that pushes settings to applications ? Something that applications pull settings from ? An agent that runs on servers ? A load balancer (or API gateway) ?

#14Working on an evidence-based 8-week intervention around values & meaning-making in the style of MBSR:

Mostly non-tech projects for me this year :)

It's basically feature flags on Steroids, provided as an (REST) API (at least that's how I got to know it).

#16I'm going to build & launch a new project every week - https://www.radihuq.com/52

#17I would like to propose a mobile voting platform for the annual parade in my village in September. It's still work in progress, but it's seems that the organizers are interested.
And also learning two very promising technologies like eBPF and Zig.

#18I'll continue working on my open source crm iceburg.ca I just added an admin builder, image/video fields and a workflow feature.
We'll see what the next year brings.

#19I'm going to be working on a personal itch problem. I first spotted the problem about 20 years ago. I solved it as a brute force manual screen scrape 15 and 10 years ago. I tried to solve it programatically 5 years ago, learnt lots but ultimately went round in circles on scaling an approach.
I'm now excited to be playing with Arquero [1] and Uber H3 [2] and hopefully I'll scratch the itch and release something!

#20Overall theme: Improving my language skills. My hypothesis is that language is the closest we have to a (lossy) codec for thought. By becoming more cognizant of higher-level concepts and the differences between them, we can reason more effectively and improve our thought and communication processes.
1. Get back into the habit of writing and reviewing evergreen notes (https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes, An Executable Strategy for Writing: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z3PBVkZ2SvsAgFXkjHsycBeyS6Cw...) and refining my Zettelkasten knowledgebase and perhaps making it publicly available at some point.
2. Continue refining the precision of my vocabulary and my understanding of the etymology of words. I've realized that I only have a fuzzy grasp of many of the words I use on an everyday basis, yet by becoming more aware of the nuances and subtleties of the usage, origin, and connotations of different terms, I will be able to express myself more accurately and also perhaps better be able to read between the lines of what others say and write.
For example, consider the following definitions:
Compound: composed of two or more separate elements; a mixture.
Complex: consisting of many different and connected parts.
Consequently, a set of buildings which share the same property but are unconnected (for example a mobile home community, or standalone military barracks buildings) should be referred to as a compound. In contrast, if the structure has bridges between the different parts, it should be called a complex.
Also consider:
Sophisticated: (of a machine, system, or technique) developed to a high degree of complexity.
Complicated: consisting of many interconnecting parts or elements, often involving many different and confusing aspects
(from Latin complicat- "folded together", from the verb complicare, from com- "together" + plicare "to fold")
An automobile is a very complex machine, since it consists of thousands of parts and systems. To a mechanic, it might be complicated (as reflected by manuals which are hundreds or thousands of pages long and hours of frustration), while to a user it is sophisticated - capable of doing many things, and yet still easy to use, since the complexity is abstracted away.
These 4 words are seemingly very closely related, yet through careful word selection, we can use them to communicate very different ideas and emotions.
