Just published my last #DecemberAdventure post of the year - a bit late, but the work was mostly done in December, and it took me a while to get this one put together: terracrypt.net/posts/gobs-of-m

It's a prototype of an infra provisioning system built with #spritely #goblins. I plan on continuing work on this myself, but if you're interested in building stuff with Goblins maybe this could give you some inspiration :)

Final #DecemberAdventure update:

Basically, I'm starting over on my k3s cluster. But I have a pretty solid understanding of where to go. So that's good. Bets on how quickly I invariably run into problems.

I also threw down for a few #MagicTheGathering cards in my Cat deck. We'll see if that helps clarify some things.

Meanwhile, 2024 retrospective post is incoming. Stay tuned.

Stochastic StenographyDecember Adventure: That’s a wrap! – Stochastic StenographyDidn’t I just start this thing?

I've not been great at documenting my #decemberadventure but finally finished my last post blog.solarcene.community/posts

I've spent the last few days in between family and work adding #Bluetooth (#ble) to my #Psion #Series5 by tapping into internal serial lines and then using a #hm-11 module. While it's not perfect it's really nice to be able to use the psion wirelessly. Next task is to increase the connection speed and fix the issue with a proxy server.

finished ‘This Is How You Lose the Time War’ (2019) by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, which I picked up two copies to read with my wife

contrary to my expectation from the title, Time War is on softer/fairy tale side of scifi. it's a novella, written as a series of letters between two agents of warring empires. who both happen to be she/her, and very capable, which is cool. but not quite kicking ass, like murderbot diaries. more personal.

drove 5h to Massachusetts. two podcasts that I queued up to listen with my wife in the car:
1. Ologies (alieward.com/ologies?offset=15) by alie ward. the host interviews scientists to dig into different ologies, e.g. volcanology. fun listen.
2. Swindled (swindledpodcast.com/podcast/01) by 'a concerned citizen'. true-crime, but more white-collar and cons. less energetic, but still good

Windows throws exceptions as effortlessly as a winter breeze scatters petals. most recently I discovered that sbt 2.x throws on `compile` on AppVeyor at different points

sent github.com/sbt/sbt/pull/7979 to retry on create directory, and retry on file move github.com/sbt/io/pull/398

tying up some loose ends

- back published sbt-buildinfo 0.13.1 for sbt 2.0.0-M3, after working around URL to URI changes
- released tree-sitter-scala 0.23.4, which includes Scala 3.6.x syntax changes
- merged João’s PR-on-PR on github.com/sbt/sbt-native-pack, which fixed all but one test failures, and updated the scripted tests to use glob expression

Day 26 of the #DecemberAdventure!

eli.li/december-adventure-2024

I added some themes to my quest log! Light, dark, and bubblegum.

I think this’ll be the last log for 2024's adventuring.

I’ve had a blast, and I’m really happy that so many other folks joined in this year. I find it really inspiring to see everyone’s projects and approaches to creative, playful coding and project-ing.

Being able to form a little community, even if distant and ephemeral, seems good and important these days.

A huge thanks to everyone who encouraged this, and who followed along or participated in any way. Thank you!

Keep adventuring!
