I made site [0] to appreciate all of our front-line workers whether they be nurses, doctors, truck drivers, grocery shop workers — all of them. Just my small appreciation for them.

#352I wrote a small and "zero-dependency" configuration framework to replace Ansible for managing my dotfiles: https://github.com/wincent/wincent/tree/master/fig
Definitely one of my favorite hobbies: over-engineering.

#353I made my first game: https://elymar.itch.io/social-distancing
It's super simple, but I learned a lot.

I finally put my photos up on my personal website. The only constraint I gave myself was to build a site that doesn’t need Javascript to load.
In the end I ended up using Next.js as a static site generator that pulls all the routes from my directory structure, making it possible to add new photography collections and filters as I go.
Might be overkill for the use case but it was fun to learn. The irony is I had to write a bunch of JS to produce it.
Still need to optimize the image sizes and I am thinking about adding filters for b&w/color/format.

#357Writing demos for my Javascript library, trying to push it to its limits, uncover bugs, etc. Fun stuff.
Also writing "teach yourself" lessons for the library ... which is not so much fun, but does helps uncover "softer" bugs like: "why do I expect people to code that thing this way? Is there a simpler, happier way to do it?"
(Yeah. Talking to myself out loud. Not a good habit to develop during the lockdown.)
Beyond coding, I've mostly been putting back on all the weight I lost over the past two years. I'll start exercising tomorrow.

#359I created a live coding music environment in Kotlin: https://github.com/pjagielski/punkt
Here's a demo: Daft Punk's - Da Funk remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdQQJPpL6Lo&t=138s
It uses Kotlin scripting as live-coded sequencer and SuperCollider as sound engine.

#360It's been four years since I've got an associate professor position. This quarantine is the first time since then that I found the time to actually do research. I finally started to work on a project I had in mind for years. And I'm glad to say that it's working and the implementation is efficient, and I'm currently writing a paper on it :).
