T'was a busy, busy month!

Suraj G. recently asked to use the little wonky font(of my handwriting) I did for my comic Hakum, and sent me a photo of what its being used for. This is a framed e-ink display with a battery operated Raspberry Pi mounted to the back. Everyday it refreshes with a new random quote. So cool, haha~! :moomin_flower2: Wiktopher is finally finished :moomin_flower2: I loved spending time in that world, I hope you will too!

Btw, in the next month or so I will likely be pushing a lot of changes to this book(so keep an eye on Itch.io if you want the latest changes, the versions are numbered). Me and Dev have had eyes on the manuscript for a long time, and at this point there are mistakes we just don't see. If you find any mistakes, kindly let us know :>. We're not professionals, we just like worldbuilding, and editing/typesetting books. Wahoo~ new saloon cushioooons! They're SO plump...!

I don't know why but I never realized what the fundamental difference was between eatable and edible. I just realized I've been using the word eatable in all situations. eatable: able to be eaten, with acceptable taste

  Just finished changing the keyboard on an 11in Macbook Air 2013. Went well! The cover of Thousand Rooms in Solresol. "Solfasol Remisolla" is the name of the book in Solresol. Devine did the translation(with help from ppl from the Solresol community), and I'm putting the notes on a staff :>... Made some very mild kimchi :P! Cabbage is super expensive at the grocery store nowadays, but bought 2 large ones on special this week. Really pays to look at flyers for times when produce is cheaper :>!  @rek I've been making kimchi a lot these days too... and lactofermented hot sauce! we had a lot of cabbage from our csa and had like 5lbs of hot peppers dropped off to us from a friend. haven't tried buying either yet, but def believe you. prices are unbelievable, and they've started locking up the dumpsters. -_- When I draw comics I tend to write text by hand, but my hand letter work is a bit inconsistent, so I decided to make a font out of my handwriting! First time making a font. Was inspired by Lizbeth(who's also working on a lovely font rn).

Added GPS coordinates to every day in the log :). We had the coordinates for the 52-day sail from Japan to Canada in a text file on 100r.co. Publishing them in the book is a good way to preserve that data.  @rek When you wrote the log did you write it by had at first or straight into a computer?
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Looking to replace our boat's saloon cushions. Been adding up the costs. DIY'ing it is gonna be costly, but can't imagine what it'd cost if I asked an upholsterer. I know where to get the foam, still unsure on fabric. Looking at fabric samples online reminds me of that bit in Lost in Translation when his wife sends him different carpet samples by mail to choose from, and that they ALL LOOK THE SAME. Fabric names are freakin hilarious. 'Teddy bear truffle', 'lavish storm'....'ottawa sand'.

 @rek going in person to some kind of fabric/sewing/etc shop is something i'd recommend highly if you can. there are discount bulk/factory reject fabric places that are generally the best deal in that space if you can find one local; online definitely feels like a crapshoot in terms of like > surprise! you hate some aspect of the feel or appearance of the fabric you just bought 20 meters of but i appreciate that may be difficult from pino~ Dev & I spent an hour going through strings of christmas lights trying to find out why half of the string wasn't lit. Checked fuse, was good. Evidently, corrosion was the culprit. Had to sacrifice a string and took 6 bulbs from it so the other one would work. The metal connections in the dead ones had all turned to dust. Ah, boatssss, salt everywhereeee 😑 ... Now we're down one string of lights, but at least Pino is well-lit and looking awesome ^____^ @rek corrosion kills my electronics just living in the Sydney climate. I’ve been looking into these special bags and containers that are meant to control humidity for longer term storage. though if you can get your hands on satchels of silica gel putting a few of them in a zip lock bag with your electronics may do the trick  @rek All the plastic and electronics garbage from 2 sets of broken lights after only one year.. I put all of the Ilken(Solresol) poems/songs featured in the story on a staff. Here's an example: fadomisi doremi sisolfasol, to mean, "the desert is loud". Desert: fadomisi Replacing a jacket zipper for the first time. The teeth of the zipper were so worn at one end they couldn't bite, and the coat zipper would keep opening from the bottom. Did one side, now doing the other. The other side is a bit tougher cause there's more layers. The stitching it strong but isn't super clean cause I have to do it by hand(too many layers for the sewing machine). I learned a few things while trying to do this fix. For instance, there are many ways that zippers fail. It's not always necessary to replace the whole thing. Sometimes a new zipper slider or bottom stop is enough to fix a coat opening from the bottom. It's possible to buy parts separately or to get a kit. I had to replace the whole thing because the teeth were too badly worn. Hardest bit was getting the old stitches out to get the zipper off (was very well put together). Just released the list of changes and updates to the Hundred Rabbits projects for October 2023. Made drawn maps of our summer sailing in the Salish Sea. Previously, we had a messy live map with so much overlap that it was unreadable. Summer 2021, 2022, and 2023. Corrected 2021. I didn't keep a logbook that year (bad Rek!) and it seems like I forgot we'd been to SaltSpring(where we met Bosun Bird for the first time) and to Vancouver :>. Started uploading some pages. Haven't had a ton of time to work on these, but I'm happy with it so far :D (3/17 pages). Shading with pencils, off the computer, is a ton of fun, but it'd be a bit easier if the frames werent so small (im working on 8.5/11in, paper, with the page taking up the entire height/width). May do fewer frames per sheet next time so I can get in more detail. Finished and uploaded page 4/17 :> Some sneaky action. Sequence up to date: https://kokorobot.ca/site/night_terror.html Looks like the otters loved us not being home. Two of them were hopping on and off of the deck all night. Both of us couldn't sleep so we got up every hour to chase them off (they're rly very persistent).

T'was a long time coming, but I spent time optimizing my website. It has fewer lines of CSS. I spent a lot of time cleaning up the code overall. Feels good :cooldog:

 @rek on a phone, every page you open, the screen is fully filled with the navigation. Maybe you could make it a bit smaller?  @rek you serve as an inspiration for all the rest of us who look out the window dreaming of the day that we took update and optimize our own websites.. also site looks great  @rek |
@rek @neauoire No mention of porporo? :'(
