February 2025
- 100r.co, added Dinghy gelcoat, Week 10, Week 11, and Week 12 of the Victoria to Sitka logbook. Updated solar with new pictures and corrected information (this page used to be called solar tips).
- Nebu, released a spreadsheet editor.
- Grimgrains, added a new recipe: Stovetop zaatar pizza.
- Store, added maritime flag stickers for sale.
- Rabbit Waves, added a new page: Emergency Bag. Updated Morse Code with Flags page with animations, released a printable zine(see how to fold a zine).
On February 14th, we celebrated our 9th year living aboard our beloved Pino. Read a short text by Devine, which expands on what it means to truly be a generalist.
Despite the weather being less-than-ideal, we were able to install our replacement solar panels, and revisit our notes on solar installations.
Devine completed Nebu, a spritesheet editor as well as a desktop calendar, alongside many other little desktop utilities. Nebu is just over 8.3 kB, a bit less than a blank excel file.
In times of increasing climate and political instability, it is a good time to get together with your community and make plans for emergencies. Consider reading Tokyo Bosai about disaster preparedness, this elaborate document deals with disasters that occur specifically in Japan, but many of the recommendations are useful regardless. We released a new page on rabbit waves with suggestions on what to pack in an Emergency Bag. Remember, every emergency bag is different, and what is essential varies per person.
We also put together a print-it-yourself zine, which combines useful information about Morse Code and Signal Flags. If you have printed the zine and don't know how to fold it, see Rek's illustrated instructions. Speaking of signal flags, we printed stickers of Rek's ICS flag drawings.
The nice weather finally arrived this week and we were able to redo Teapot's gelcoat. This was our first time working with gelcoat, our friends Rik & Kay, who lent us their workspace, were very patient and generous teachers. We will continue the project later when the gelcoat has cured.
Book Club: This month we are reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.
January 2025
- 100r.co, added a new page: tote. Added Week 8 and Week 9 of the Victoria to Sitka logbook.
- Tote, released the project on itch.io.
- Grimgrains, added a new recipe: chocolate turtles.
- Left, added an option to collapse the nav bar on the left.
- Orca, added community links.
Devine spent time improving the html5 uxn emulator, and thanks to their hard work it is now possible to play Niju, Donsol, and Oquonie directly in the browser on itch.io, the same goes for projects like Noodle and Tote.
It's been a long time coming, but Oquonie is now playable on Playdate. Rek spent the last week converting the 2-bit assets for Oquonie to 1-bit, because some of the characters and tiles were too difficult to read, now all of the assets work perfectly on monochromatic screens. As an amazing plus, Devine got the music and sounds working perfectly, just like in the original iOS version.
From January 19-25th, we both participated in Goblin Week, an event in which you make goblins every day for a week(whatever that means to you). See the goblin series made by Rek(viewable here in higher rez also) and the one made by Devine(Mastodon).
Pino has earned two new replacement solar panels this month! We have not installed them yet, it is still too cold outside in Victoria (we are expecting snow this week).
We share photos often in our monthly updates, and so Devine spent time building our very own custom photo feed named Days. It is possible to follow the feed with RSS.
Book Club: This month we are reading How do You Live? by Genzaburo Yoshino and Middlemarch by George Eliot.
