I've been using Obsidian, and decided to dip my feet into plugin development by writing this plugin that renders specially-formatted code blocks as interlinear glosses. I can't fully endorse it yet—there are some rough edges—but I do have the work-in-progress online at
https://codeberg.org/aysamanra/interlinear-glossThe big advantage here is that I have a digital dictionary that I'm still filling out from two-decade-old paper notes, and switching the keyboard layout like this is way nicer than the janky script I previously used to use to write in the orthography (which would, uh, modify the paste buffer to create a transliterated version of whatever I'd just copied.)
Last night I took the time to create an X11 input method for my old primary conlang, and let me tell you that I am unreasonably pleased seeing my made-up alphabet appear so smoothly on the screen.
And I never posted here the one-day-build plywood side table I made because I really wanted a place to set books while reading on this chair.
(That's a big part of why I'm learning to make furniture in the first place: I kept wishing I had furniture pieces that could perfectly fit in certain spaces.)
I also finished this French cleat wall for my office, although I still have plenty of containers to make for it yet. (If you're not familiar, French cleats are a mechanism for hanging things on walls by using angled strips of wood. Woodworkers sometimes use them to create modular storage, like pegboard but with significantly more weight capacity and stability.)
I'm still practicing my woodworking. I have a simple console table which I'm nearly done with, and which can be seen here half-painted:
It's time again for noodling on some constructed scripts! (There is some randomness here, but this also isn't entirely random.)
This is Tiny Callie, who belongs to a neighbor but roams the neighborhood and greets me regularly. This is not the best picture of her, but it might be one of the funnier ones I've taken.
I realized a few months ago that I wanted more magnets so I could put more stuff up on my fridge, so I've started painting little wooden rounds and gluing magnets to the back. Here were three I did this week. (The one on the right was supposed to be a persimmon, but I mixed the paint too red and now it looks like a tomato. So it goes!)
yeah, that Jim Jarmusch movie, the one with Forest Whitaker, what's it called, I think it's
