Haha, love the rocket! Too bad there aren't any examples yet. With that said, I think the website itself is already a pretty cool showcase of what halfmoon can do!

darkhorse132• 6 years ago

Thank you! Examples are definitely coming soon-ish. Some other people have brought that up as well.

The users I've talked to are excited and have asked for integrations. So I'm working on that next.

Driving to Slovenia with three friends

cafard• 6 years ago

Both days: running, reading, helping to make dinner.

Saturday: mowing the lawn, if weather permits hosting outdoor meeting of the neighborhood book club.

Sunday: going to a farmers market, watching Mass on YouTube, phone conversations with out-of-town family.

One or the other day, maybe writing a reporting procedure for a website used by a group my wife belongs to.

Managed to update couple of my blog posts this week, especially the long pending one on customizing pandoc to generate pdf/epub from github style markdown [0]. Have many more blog posts to write, hope to do at least one on Saturday.

Read first two books from Mage Errant [1] series this week, hope to finish the third one by Sunday (to finally get started with beta reading fourth book next week).

rckoepke• 6 years ago

Exploring integration of Mastodon into one tab/section of a broader React-web and React-native app. Haven't found much in the way of drop-in libraries, just some standalone clients. I may have to write most of the client-side features essentially from scratch.

beckingz• 6 years ago

Reviewing a data science coding test that one of our clients want to use.

oldsklgdfth• 6 years ago

Going to run and drink beer with some friends and then prepare for the work week.

non-entity• 6 years ago

Probably nothing, If I'm being honest.

Jugurtha• 6 years ago

Working on our internal machine learning platform (opened it to some users at https://iko.ai). Writing docs, reviewing merge requests, pruning issues, checking if assumptions holding back features and bug fixes are still true, reading documentation for some external components we use, playing with the new real time collaboration on notebooks, testing the implementation for model deployment, attempting to do one video that goes through the different things to reveal usability issues, and checking upon a colleague who's backtesting the platform on projects we delivered in the past before we buit this (aiming for dividing time to ship by 4 folds at least), implementing a proof of concept for one integration, and improving one Python library I started writing for Minio administration (https://big-mama-tech.gitlab.io/bmc/), as they only have a Python client which can't configure hosts, start servers, or change policies, etc.

tmaly• 6 years ago

Hired a band to play in the front yard for my kids birthdays.

People will park in their cars and listen from the street.

karmakaze• 6 years ago

Playing (or rather re-learning) Starcraft2. Playing some videogames has been on my list for a long time. Next stage might be upgrading PC and checking out more recent games.

Something physical outside, maybe rollerblading or cycling if it's not too hot/humid.

gubsz• 6 years ago

Probably play Valorant, slackline in the park, read a book (Pain Free as of recently), and cook some food for the week.

dbish• 6 years ago

Working on my two current side projects and playing video games or reading in between. One project is a simple twitter helper that launched recently (tweetlights.com) and a new social network project that is coming along.

jobigoud• 6 years ago

Working on my side project that transforms 3D assets and point clouds into beautiful VR paintings.

Zoo

croo• 6 years ago

Working on an impossible deadline with several other team mates. Same on previous weekend and same on the next. Things will get better when we hit the deadline but right now its crazy work hours...

olvy0• 6 years ago

Working on the finishing touches, just before the company-wide rollout of a project.

It was my side project for about a year before I talked management into turning it into a proper feature and got a part-time team to work on it with me.

Phase A, which rolls out next week, will be kind of neutered compared to what I had in mind a year ago, due to too many edge cases I didn't anticipate in the simple POC I wrote then. And the realities of having to maintain the many other parts of our system at the same time. Oh well.
