Awesome! Almost December and it was 18C today, so really can't complain :)

I'm jealous you have the opportunity to use EO at all! Admittedly, I haven't tried to find people to speak it with, but if I did I'd have a lot more motivation to continue studying it.

If you check eventaservo.org, you'll find events pretty much every day of the week, and they're all online now. I've chatted to people from Africa, Australia, locally, and everywhere else by just joining one of their posted meetups and getting to know people. If you ever want to practise on a Zoom call, I could spare a coffee break to help out!

Haha, thank you! I was actually surprised to see how many people were using now pages already. Nowadays, I find one almost more often than not when stumbling upon a random personal website.
🧉 Martin
Yeah, it's a really handy way to keep up with what folks are doing. I sometimes even browse a random one from nownownow.com.

The short story you're sharing on your now page sounds like you're living the dream! :) Glad you can explore new places and learn new languages. Here's my now page, that I actually should update again: niklasbuehler.com/...

That's a neat experience you're having! Also, the /now page is a good idea. I may create one now after I finish playing around with a little app
🧉 Martin
The idea comes from the awesome Derek Sivers. More info here: nownownow.com/about

TIL: 1 second is 9,192,631,770 cycles of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom. No, really. Take 551 billion radiation cycles to check, if you like.

I actually thought about switching my web server from nginx to Caddy a couple of times already. Was too afraid of the complications for now though.

Thank you, Martin! I read one of his articles about RSS feeds and found out the amazing fellow Aaron Swartz.

I just discovered TypeScript. I've always hated JavaScript because of its typing, I might actually get into it now.

I've been enjoying reading a bunch of stuff from twobithistory.org recently. It's full of cool historical tech stuff. Only criticism: I have a "friend" who went there to read one article and stayed until he read *all of them*.

Is it hotter than normal where you are in the world, too?

I wrote a little app to make looking at my API's JSON logs a bit nicer. It's only for me, but making nice things is so cathartic! So, who do I talk to about series A? github.com/martinr...

We just launched a very basic website for the Police Data Accessibility Project. You can check out some simple details on our mission at policedap.org. Since this is a small group I'd love any feedback and criticisms if anyone has any :)

Congrats! Your blog looks really cool. :)
