A colleague lent me a book with various yoga poses a few weeks ago and it has massively improved how I feel. Currently I'm working on digitizing it by creating an application where you can choose a pose, and it will be shown on your screen. I never made gui apps with GTK before, so it's a nice learning experience.

I know StevenBlack provides a docker image, but I've always wanted a nifty program to generate hosts files. I've been working on that. Although I'm not good with programming, I'm trying my best.
I'm building a replica of the talking skull from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disneyland.
I've got the skull 3d printed, primed and ready for paint. I picked up a new Arduino and am trying to get it programmed where it can connect to wifi and listen for artnet so I can control it with show control systems/software.
It has been frustrating because if it doesn't update the wifi or whatever frequently enough it will go into a reboot loop. If I keep getting frustrated, I might find a way to use the one with a poe hat instead. It would probably be more reliable, but I'll have to drop a new Ethernet run to where I want it. It will also be a much larger Arduino to hide.
I host a podcast called Almost Plausible where a couple of friends join me to create movie plots based on ordinary objects. For example, some of our episodes are paper bag, axe, and toilet brush.
You can find it wherever you listen to podcasts, or on the Almost Plausible website.
I'm ricing my Arch Linux install, again.
Previously, I made a custom status bar implementation using eww widgets, to replace functionality I thought was lacking in the current offerings like waybar, polybar, and the likes. I wanted weather integration, Spotify widget with controls and album artwork display and such, apart from all the regular functionality. So my bar and it's subwidgets were essentially just a huge system of eww widgets.
I've also been using i3 for the last decade at least. But now, I've finally decided to try Hyprland after visiting their website and falling in love with the smooth animations.
So I'm up and running now with an i3-like control scheme using the hy3 plugin. Now I'm exploring AGS as a widget system, which seems much more promising than eww in terms of setup and clear way of doing things and the library is solid and generic enough for my needs/requirements. AGS is also JavaScript so very familiar as I'm a web developer. It also seems much more efficient in terms of resources and CPU cycles.
It's looking great so far and I'm thinking about using waybar as my bar, but we'll see how far that gets me. I might just make a huge widget system again with AGS. It was pretty fun last time, a few years ago.
I've been working on my rendition of the Super Smash Bros Ultimate theme on piano in my spare time from work. This recording isn't perfect but this was recorded literally right before a string snapped and scared the hell out of me! I've been uploading to TikTok since I'm self taught and no one ever really gets to hear me play and I'm self conscious about it. So I'm trying to put myself out there more to get over my self consciousness!
I've also been working on creating a mock Transmission server so I can create a good demo for my side project Similar to the idea behind k9s, I've been building a rust-based TUI to manage all your standard . I'm calling it Managarr. I'm working on getting this demo done and then I'll be implementing CI/CD. Once I can get this thing into alpha I'll open it up for contributions since I'm changing code all the time at the moment and it would just be merge conflict hell. Here's some screenshots!
