Seeing the subway busy like this at midnight makes me so happy.

And afterwards twitter was crucial in spreading the word and getting support. And I'm not exagerating -- for a little while this map was actually being used by people in my small country. I got to go on Croatian cable news lol https://youtu.be/J-8QDO7Ed30
Prilog o koronatestiranje.com na N1 televiziji, 29.8.2020.
We used twitter to track updates and corrections. But without twitter this project never would have started -- I got inspired to do it after getting annoyed at my interactions with a ðŸ‡ðŸ‡· gov run twitter account that was supposed to be providing this precise info, and they weren't
This was emotionally intense work. For a number of months I called and emailed hospitals around ðŸ‡ðŸ‡· trying to keep this info up to date. The response was amazing, so many people wanted to help. It was a completely different time from where we are now.
But I helped run internet infrastructure we set up with @[email protected]. Since power was unreliable, we used twitter to report downtime. The camp was soon after evicted by the NYPD and our equipment was stolen and destroyed.
The next was @[email protected]. In the summer of 2020 during the uprising against racism and police killings of Black folks in America I was at NYC City Hall where we were asking to take funds from the NYPD and fund city services.
We failed and this did not happen.
I am archiving the different accounts and bots I ran on Twitter over the years. The first is @[email protected]
I put together a RPi with gps, camera and wifi that I would use to snap pics of cars in the bike lane, grab the locations and post it on twitter. Its github is https://github.com/mejs/bike-lane-report
This board helps your Orao computer get online via WiFi, or by just giving you rs232 serial you can use with a real modem. This project is finally done, so I'm shipping some boards to the few people who actually have an Orao computer. If you're not familiar with it, it's a 1980s school computer from Yugoslavia. I used to maintain a twitter thread about it, which I'll turn into a blog post now that I'm out of there. Info about this project is available on my GitHub: https://github.com/mejs/orao
