GopherConUK 2024

I came to GopherConUK this year (thanks to qwiet.ai). Lot’s of interesting things going on! Was networking at conferences always this hard?

XBM❤braille

There’s not always a good reason to play with stuff, but stuff sometimes begs to be played with. In this case, Unicode’s braille block gives you a (chonky) monochrome pixel-addressable screen on the terminal. And XBM gives you a very straightforward monochrome bitmap representation, so you can play with both things with minimal friction.

Integer math

I very much enjoy making tabular data easy to read on the terminal. Often, this takes me to strange and wonderful places.

This is my corner of the web. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
