A couple of months ago I brought a cabin on a trailer which is to become my home office in the backyard.

I managed to get it off the trailer and onto some skids yesterday. This weekends job is digging a trench for a network cable from the house.

Getting away from the computer and working on some analog hobbies.

I have a bunch of Warhammer models to put together and then paint.

I’ve been collecting on and off for the last 35 years. I have a pretty sizable collection at this point.

It’s very relaxing once you make time for it. Treating it like work would ruin it for me.

Might make some more progress on my VisionOS app! Was a little disappointed by the API restrictions and so I took a break for a while.

I'm creating a UI Kit and blocks using Lit with the help of Claude 3 Opus. It is a lot of work but using code generation it is going quite fast.

I am building a advanced file manager for Windows as a side project. Its a file manager in the style of Orthodox File Managers (Total commander, Directory Opus etc) The file manager is natively powered by the Everything indexer by Voidtools and as a result of that it is possible to create virtual folders of querys (smart folders) and instant folder sizes. I have also added support for tags and custom description of file items. Check it out: https://youtu.be/JREufgkf5pk?si=4tPh9RcsH3B240tZ Https://thefile.ninja

Building a drag-and-drop interface for a Django app. I'm hoping I can use the HTML5 drag-and-drop API, it seems to fit the limited use case I have. Anyone having experiencing using the API? What was your experience like?

Taking a break this weekend.

But I have been building a chrome extension template that handles email link authentication, stripe subscriptions, NoSQL storage, and cloud functions as the pseudo-backend.

Once this is complete (~1.5 months), I’m using the template to build an extension that I will be turning into a SaaS, and also entering into the Google AI competition

Not a developer, but just finished up the world's lowest cost PoE-powered SNMP environmental monitor.
