civilwhiz.com – A website dedicated to sharing knowledge about Autodesk Civil 3D. It’s all about old-fashioned knowledge sharing through blog posts, with absolutely no coding (on my part). I host it via WordPress and use some plugins to make it work.

Unlike most Civil 3D portals out there, this site provides deeper explanations of Civil 3D’s inner workings and very few (currently zero) video tutorials. That’s because I believe video tutorials are already widely available elsewhere.

I originally set up this website to teach myself Civil 3D. Along the way, I decided to "open-source" my learning process so others could benefit as well.

Finally caved and built a custom AI newsletter curation platform for a friend who's been pestering me to automate his GPT news digests. Still no idea if there's real demand, but the learning experience with Cursor and Claude Code has been worth it. After growing my own newsletter to 800 subscribers, I'm convinced aggregation beats adding another newsletter to the pile. Thanks to Claude, it works way better than I sho…

Good work! I'm trying to sign up using joel@joelparkerhenderson.com to try it. Can you enable my account? Thanks!

Thanks very much for your interest. I fixed a bug that prevented signup. (There is an extra signup tab on the login page https://my.procuratorai.com/login) Works again now.

Just confirm your email address and you are good to go. Any feedback super welcome (marco / irg@procuratorai.com). Irg will also gladly give you an onboarding session, if needed. Just get in touch.

I'm still working on Habitat. It's a free and open source, self-hosted platform for communities to discover and discuss their local area. The plan is for it to be federated, but that's a while off yet. - The idea: https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/location-based-social-net... - A build update and plan: https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/building-habitat/ - The repository: https://github.com/carlnewton/habitat - The…

Would be interesting to see a location-based Polymarket site. Would be great to get a feel for any one spot and what's on people's minds via their predictions related to that particular location. Powerful instrument for change too as observers interact with the observed.

Nothing really at the moment, job and family takes most my time and energy. Last thing I made was this semi-vibe-coded a local-storage-only site for helping myself plan stuff, I made so it works offline as a progressive web app too if you install it, but it's not suitable for phone at the moment, I don't know if I can be bothered to make it suitable for phone either..

https://dusted.dk/pages/ordeal/

Two features are missing, I might find some energy to make them at some point: 1. right now only the entire "ordeal" can be moved, so situations with multiple fix points are annoying, I'd like to be able to "anchor" multiple tasks and have the tasks between stretch and shrink as needed. 2. I want to add a red horizontal line that's moving and shows the current time.

I started playing around with the idea of a new programming language that compiles to JavaScript. Despite syntactic improvements and type-checking, it's goal is to streamline promises, async/await and callbacks into one signal based system I call live variables. Additionally, those could be compiled via different, interchangeable compiler plugins to framework specific code, like React's useState or Vuejs' Refs, to make it more future prove. It's still in a concept stage and maybe the whole project is futile, but if it piqued your interest, check out https://github.com/nkoehring/Solace

A workflow engine, but not an "airflow like" (even if I hope it will become an airflow killer) but more similar to old job scheduling systems from mainframe era(OPC/TWS/CA7 ecc).

In my opinion, those mainframe-era dinosaurs are conceptually far more superior to what we have today on servers and cloud systems.

We recently installed a solar system on the roof, battery included. The app it comes with is okay to answer most questions. But that wont prevent me from shipping my own dashboard based on locally scraped data. Just for the sake of it. Also my homelab machine is bored.

fully custom made? Or Grafana?

Fully custom made, scratching my frontend/UX itch!

Making trading strategies accessible to everyone. https://www.growbell.com Vibe-coding for 6 months as a solo dev (on the side) and loving it.

saying you vibe coded something, and then its financial trading strategies does not lend confidence.
