#202I was already speedrunning bread due to parental leave. Got sourdough down to Now my project is a 1000 science per minute factory in Factorio. I'm 100 or so hours in. It is a game I'll recommend to any programmer: It exercises optimization, planning, testing, debugging, (coaching and collaboration if multiplayer), prioritizing right, and the balance of living with hacky imperfections while still not letting them overwhelm your design and grind everything to a halt.

#205An application that provides security gated sharing of the file system using a Windows/OSX like file explorer GUI directly in the browser.
Current status:
* Works great on a home network, but I still need to work out point-to-poin tunneling through the Internet.
* Nearly done working out a separation designation of personal devices from different users.
* Currently working on test automation via service simulation and browser simulation via Microsoft/playwright.
* I plan to allow end-to-end encryption via key sharing, but I am not there yet.
* I plan to allow remote application execution for devices under the same user account, but I am not there yet.

#206In South Africa, we have pretty harsh lockdown laws, including only being able to exercise within 5km of your house and only between 6am and 9am.
I'm a keen mountain biker, so I've put my energy and frustration into developing new mountain bike trails in the hills around my house. Been meaning to do this for a long time, but there are such good trails a few miles further away, so the incentive has not been very strong until now.
I'm building for about 1 hour per day on average, and I manage to get between 10 and 100m of trail built in that hour, so by the time the lock-down ends I'm aiming to have a contiguous piece of singletrack that's a mile long.
Also, I've been helping on a local project to develop an open-source ventilator (https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/rescuevent)
And I'm working on a peer-to-peer donation platform (which is not really ready to show to anyone yet)

#208Been trying to work on a lite "Logging Service" implementation. Something along the lines of Seq[0]. Needs to be extremely simple to use on the cloud and locally. Mainly for practicing more Go which I've come to love. Have barely scratched the surface since I have regular work + a toddler at home + baby arriving in 3 weeks!

#209Physically I've swapped the commute for a reasonable amount more cycling outside which is nice. Mentally went through the AWS Solution Architect associate and professional certifications and ticked those of. Next up will be to finally update my blog and launch a couple of Slack apps all things I've been meaning to do for a while
