This was a very fun little project, the first one of its kind I've attempted. Sycamore body, zebrawood lid, purpleheart handle.
Just about everything went smoothly, which is a rarity as I'm learning.
This is a familiar part of the learning curve - I'm to the point where I have started to slow down and enjoy the process, knowing it's going to come out OK instead of rushing to minimize my time to screw it up.
I really enjoy turning an ugly hunk of wood into a... less ugly, useful piece of wood?
This piece of honey locust gave me fits, with its cracks, voids, and punky composition. At one point the tenon even snapped, causing me to make it a little shorter than originally intended.
Today I rough-turned an oddly shaped apple blank. I love how the wood looks, and hope that it doesn't crack too much more as it sits in a bag of shavings to dry slowly over the next few months. Fingers crossed!
This week I tried making my first large, natural edge bowl on the lathe.
Perfect? Heck no.
Fun? Heck yes.
Did you know that you could simulate a delay in an API or any dependency call in Moq?
Check it out here.
I've been creeping around looking at a lot of people's accounts (I'm doing a survey) Noticed that people with very few followers have one thing in common: they have not boosted the posts of other people often if at all.
(When I see posts like this encouraging boosting I always think "well that person just wants boosts, whatever") That's not it. On twitter it was important to only boost exceptional content -- boost here to invite more people to join in talking about something. #mastodonhowto
I am flying my server-side web app flag proudly with Pushup. I think Go is a fine language and wanted to explore possibilities for enhancing its suitability for web frontends.
I landed on a new lightweight template syntax that glues Go and HTML together in the same page; a compiler that translates pages to pure Go; and a file-based routing scheme.
If you are thinking mod_php-but-Go you're not wrong :^)
It's early yet and design feedback is most welcome.
This little device, the PCPanel Mini, is great. I have it setup on my Windows PC to independently control the volume of music (Pandora), browsers, and the entire system.
I'm not sure what to setup the 4th dial for, yet. Possibly for muting/unmuting the microphone or for Teams in general.

It's been a bit of a slow day - took the Christmas lights off the house and have been juggling the ripping if 15 seasons of a TV show to get on plex.
BUT, I did get a chance to tinker on the lathe briefly and let my daughter color a top.
