Day one: frame is up. It is a small little studio, but it will be mine. Made with my (and my Dad’s) own hands. Onto day two!

Half at thru day two and getting the inner dry wall hung. A bit of wiring, insulation, then the outer panels will finish the walls. Also gotta frame the door. Great progress tho!

Door is installed! Wiring up the inflow and outflow fans now, then insulation and paneling. Final finishing touches at the end. Slow and steady

Fans and light installed!

Insulated! Tomorrow we put the exterior acoustic wood panels up. Then interior finishing touches. It is coming together!!

Great afternoon of progress! The wood acoustic panels are now up on the exterior. Glue on the corner is setting. Doing a bit of door framing then base board and sound foam on the interior. Onward and upward!

Here it is with the tape off and the glue set. Next up base boards (as seen on the ground) and interior.

It isn’t done and it isn’t perfect, but it is mine and it does work.

Getting the walls up was only half the battle. Next major squirmish was figuring out why the fans wouldn’t run consistently. After some exploring and experimenting, learned there was a timer controller that was behaving oddly. Put my amateur electrician hat on and removed it.

Getting all of the sound foam up was my second battle, but some wide head nails and stronger glue eventually did the job. Doing my first calls today in the new office/studio! Camera mount and mic arm should arrive tomorrow to unlock video recording!

We're live! Watch my little studio intro and let me know how it sounds, how it looks. Still plenty to do and improve, but I've already had my first handful of calls in here and they went great.

I need some great RSS feeds to provide me with some quality longer form reading material. Hit me with all of your recommendations!

This was one of my slides at Big Sky Dev Con. The amount of progress in the last 2 years is mind boggling - I know there's been false starts in the past but something has changed. If you still think the future of web dev is adding an npm library because "the browser's not good

I love deterministic avatar image generators, but you don't typically need HTTP requests to get them. Here are three different Stimulus controllers for 3 different algos (shape, face blob, initials): codepen.io/smargh/pen/WNd… codepen.io/smargh/pen/qBQ… codepen.io/smargh/pen/bGx…

I have just opened two of the most exciting PRs for Chaotic Job. Soon, you will be able to write tests and simulations for the two most common sources of bugs in background jobs: (1) retries and now (2) races github.com/fractaledmind/…
