mini relaxing vacation before Thanksgiving madness and 5 days in Las Vegas for work.

all that's left is to build + install the shelves, sand, and apply a finish.

thought I would finish the bookcase project today but things always take way longer than I expect. I had a lot of trouble making tight fitting miter joints for some decorative molding and ended up just settling for a very flawed fit and filled in the cracks with a little sawdust and glue. sometimes you've just gotta move on...

just a saw patch on the Guix mailing list for a Guile API for Mastodon. neat!

@jim @federicomena pocket holes would certainly work here. I don't know how to make many types of joints, but I would use rabbets/grooves/dados for everything.

@sajith that's incredible.

ah there's a leak in the ceiling of my stepdaughter's room again. good times.

planted those maximilian sunflowers in the hedgerow with some others. Andrea didn't know those other ones were there and mowed them awhile back, but they are still alive! hardy little things.

I also planted all of the bulbs I bought awhile ago, mostly around tree trunks to suppress weeds.

this is one of the few varieties of perennial sunflower. I've read that it needs very little attention, grows tall, and will grow even in poor soil. I've grown some of these from seeds but they are still quite small. these already started ones will help me build my privacy hedge faster.

today's plant delivery!

a blue jay is fishing threw all the leaves and junk in my gutters and throwing lots of stuff onto the ground. free gutter cleaning!

planted my seed garlic. 1lb of chesnok red that I ordered, and maybe 1/2lb or so of Music from my harvest this year. I completely filled up the bed that I normally plant potatoes in as well and still had some leftovers, so I tucked cloves in between currants in another bed to serve as more of a polyculture.

@cwebber I always think of these things like they happened just a few years ago, but now that I think about it I saw that for the first time 14 years ago.

@cwebber *pulls up a chair and sits in it backwards* hey kids, I know a guy who had a ride that needed pimping, and his name is Jesus.

:blobcatmelt:

spoke too soon about performance. added a quicksort to sort sprites by Y coordinate and performance absolutely tanked.
