1. if you’re involved in a corporation or entity that has to file also, the deadline for that entity is usually march 15th, so therefore any documents resulting from that filing won’t be available earlier. 2. certain retirement investment vehicles allow contributions for the prior tax year up to the filing deadline, so natually any tax documents resulting from those contributions would not be available until some time after the filing deadline.
in case you were wondering how a pine needle thwarted my weather station, i found a fun gif explaining how this type of gauge works. the test for tomorrow (expecting rain) is whether i removed all of the pine needle or if there’s still a piece of it in there blocking the tipping-bucket from moving. 🤞
same great functionality, but more accurately reflects that you can use it with: Obsidian vaults, Hugo / Jekyll / Astro sites, Bear, Typora, iA Writer, or Any folder of .md files.
This release also marks a simplication for permissions - no more .json config to specify how files can be accessed by the agent - each note is configurable in frontmatter.
typical saturday: ✅ sleep a bit later ✅ trip to the transfer station ✅ frenzy of activity on projects/chores ✅ nap on couch with dogs ✅ sensibile dinner ✅ beer
@jerzone this station is all-in-one (ambient weather ws2902) my last station had all separate components and i got frustrated maintaining separate solar panels and batteries and whatnot.
i ascend the ladder, contemplating how much effort it will take to disassemble and repair my weather station’s rain guage, possibly needing to wait for parts to arrive.
i lower the mast, clamp it in place to work on the station.
i see a long-leaf pine needle stuck in the rain gauge funnel, and remove it.
@mescutia it is, but my kids go to school online, and i didn't get in touch with the local district early enough to get him in for testing there. lesson for the younger kid!
and a sneak peek at my future roadmap: i'll be rebranding this to be agnostic to the editor you use, because really it just points to a directory of markdown files.
if you keep the ingredients stocked in your pantry, making chex mix is pretty quick. i’ve got the prep time down to around 20 minutes. here’s the recipe i use (only sub- i use pretzel-shaped pretzels)
@jerzone i’m cool with a screen and a chamber where it can build up until it’s emptied or something. i might research something like that (or put it off again until i need to fix the faucet next year)
today i cleaned out the water inlets to our washing machine, after i was made aware that it doesn't fill from hot or cold. we have well water, and lots of silt/sand/tiny rocks/rust get pushed through the pipes and land on the screens of the inlet.
i use a lab 'wash bottle' to jet the silt out of there onto an old towel.
i end up doing this every couple of months. this, plus the annual mixing-cartridge replacement for the kitchen sink, means i should probably invest in a whole-house filter.
since my old sneakers are literally falling apart at the seams, i’ve finally relented and began wearing my new ones (exact same model). i already miss the paracord laces, i might have to move those over.
for my relatively simple site with just a few content collections, the fixes were minimal. after Claude Code and i fixed one of my sites, i asked CC to document the changes for ... themself, in my other sites. so they created this, i copied into my other projects to help CC fix the same things there.
pushing a media playback fix to my personal lifestream/social feed site (https://feed.mikesusz.com) and got to thinking....
is this the type of thing that would be useful for others? i might abstract all the 'mike' out of this and make it clone-able and deploy-able. i just have to figure out how to make it approachable for people who aren't deep into infrastructure.
as a person who does things in an industry that i’ve been in for so many decades, i have never been so simultaneously excited and terrified about my prospects.
and maybe, the last time this kind of shift was happening around me, i wasn’t terrified because i didn’t yet have a spouse and a mortgage and a car payment and children to feed/clothe/house/support.
@jerzone i wanted to do something more fancy but then i realized that i can't replace all of it at once (we let the dogs out onto the deck->into the backyard) so i have to piecemeal one section at a time
@jerzone i researched prefab railing sections, that would have been neat but pricey. i ended up building out of pressure treated, but i plan to cap it all off with a composite handrail to avoid splinters.
@jerzone neat, last trip to H-mart my wife and kids picked up a bunch of different flavors of turtle chips. spoiler: they seem to contain zero turtles.
