Might cut out the in-between and go full cairo.

This blog!: I want to get preview images working. I'm trying to generate them using cairo, so I can do it as part of the build script. I would say I've proven out the basic concept, now need to decide on some text positioning and hook it all together for the first run.

Mini PC: I'm working on getting a mini PC set up with the my current go-to Ubuntu server + Nix home-manager config. Eventually I want to try and make it a wearable deck to go with my AR glasses. Will write about that more later.

I want to make sure I can write from anywhere, including my work mac, which I'm writing on now. I had to update bash on the mac (I did it using Nix home manager). Otherwise things seem to be working well.

Edit: also had to replace a grep P with a sed.

Another cyberdeck iteration. Skeleton of wood. Main dilemma is too many too long cords. Size of the area around the screen sort of defeats purpose of skinny screen, think I'm going to increase the depth instead.

Booting up picotron! From: https://www.lexaloffle.com/picotron.php

Compared to digital constructions, there is a higher cost to starting over with physical work. But there are materials you can choose where it's much lower-stakes, and I've been having fun assembling a set of them:

• Cardboard: a standby of prototyping, easily cut, surprisingly sturdy, readily available from shipping boxes, if cardboard wasn't so ubiquitous it would be a lot more appreciated. I at least do a first version on most things in cardboard, and often it lasts long enough that it stays cardboard. Goes great with hot glue but usually I just use tape.
• Masking tape: good for cardboard, good for taping up inspiration, good for writing on with sharpie.
• Air-drying clay: this a new one. I've made some keyboard palm rests, a new housing for a wireless phone charger, and a holder for a set of cards. Not as nice looking as fired clay, it's still wonderful to be able to sit down with an idea and rough it out in 15 minutes. Clay gives you shapes cardboard and wood aren't friendly too.

Iteration

Going to try a little cyberdeck terminal again.
