Current project: Quarantining myself in my camper van for another week to see if I or my family members are ill before living together.

I have a Mac Mini with upgrades and a 4K monitor waiting.

Also, working on a boro water cooled virtualization/workstation dual EPYC that I've been piecing together before AMD made the press rounds. I'm supposed to have a dual CPU & VRM waterblock but the seller has been deflecting, dodging and dicking around for 4 months... they only mailed half of it.

I'm working on developing a collaborative learning framework. To be used when designing online learning experiences.

I believe it works across most groups (early learners all the way through to university and professional development).

Initial idea https://t.co/7MvEMI5xSl

Further development of the framework and value proposition for learners and educators. I am also workong to develop/document examples is my current plan.

I'm working on making Lunar ( https://lunar.fyi ) work with as many monitor setups as possible. Lunar is a macOS app that can change your external monitor brightness and contrast based on your Macbook built-in display brightness (which already reacts to ambient lighting). It can also change the brightness based on the sun position or can just add some hotkeys for you to change the brightness manually in case you are…

I'm curious, how do you do this? Don't you need an endless amount of displays and setups to make sure Lunar supports all of them?

I have a Figma plugin that shows different display sizes with their respective market share. It helps designers to test their mockups for different devices and make decisions based on that.

I have over 18k installs https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/732240841094697441/Vi...

I'm currently working on a BE that would enable you to bring your own product data for a small fee. But as a designer, it takes far too much time. If there would be anyone who would like to join, let me know.

I wrote a small article about the stack behind it:

In the first few days of voluntary quarantine, I built a Firefox extension called Exploding Tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/exploding-tab...

First, you intentionally add a website (e.g. https://facebook.com) to the list. Once you open that site in a new tab, a countdown begins. Unless you stop the countdown, the tab is closed once the countdown reaches 0.

I've been using this extension myself for a few days now. Up until now it seems ok.
