And now for something completely different (besides my regular web / Linux based posts) - Lawn Mowers!

"My Robotic Mower Woes"

@tdarb Very interesting read. One thing I noticed missing was the cost of Lawna, great name by the way. I went to the website and I believe it is $4,200 USD correct? Which is one dang expensive lawn mower. Plus where is the real specs, such as does Lawna have the ability to mulch and adjust cutting height? Can you set alternating cutting pattern?

If you use Aurora Store to fetch apps from Playstore, the search isn't working any more.
As a workaround you can search on play.google.com in a browser. Then share the URL to the app Linkbox. In Linkbox you can then open the link with .

@rudolf Well that is quite annoying. Seems Google is rate limited and as a result search no longer works. Would be nice to see the store more open instead of so limited.

I often say that a good prank needs meat on it.

Here's the BSDCan 2019 Charity Auction, where I pulled perhaps the best prank of my life. I would feel bad for Bob, except, you know, Bob.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlt_H99xGCc&t=3m14s

This prank had a second part, given at the end of https://mwl.io/archives/4772 .

At this year's @bsdcan, we will auction off rare copies of the exclusive Beck and Provost Editions of "Terrapin Sky Tango."

@mwl @bsdcan Oh okay, thanks. I didn't see this before. I assume BSDCan's official channel is https://www.youtube.com/@BsdcanOrg

Got paged for a high severity incident at 2:30 this morning, which thankfully took less than an hour to resolve. Standard work day has started with my first meeting coming up in 15 minutes. Production deploys scheduled for tonight, which is a Friday, which is never a recipe for disaster, right? 🙄

I'm just going to go curl up in a ball in the corner now.

@mike This doesn't sound good doing a deployment on a Friday. Beginning of the week is ideal or when the most staff are available to work in case something goes wrong.

Today I sewed a rainbow fish!!!

Video depicting a black stuffed animal fish, whose main body is about six inches in length with sewn fins and tail, and a smiling face in front. The sides of the fish are covered in translucent white 3D printed scales which are illuminated from beneath with LEDs to display bright rainbow patterns.

I'm back home after an excellent "La Réunion des Communs" event. I just posted an article on my blog about the talks and workshops I gave:
→ https://www.davidrevoy.com/article968/la-reunion-des-communs-2023

A photo of a part of the library where tables had computers with tablet to do digital painting using Krita. I'm helping a young girl on the photo. She is painting a sunset.
Top down photo on a table of three A4 sheet of paper and my sketchbook (with a sticker Pepper&Carrot on it). The sheets shows the template of my comic workshop, and two examples of comic in three panels done with ballpen. First comic: Carrot is about to receive a book on the head, but the book is magical and fly away. Second comic: Pepper tries to bring a caldron to the cave. She unfortunately falls in the void outside of the stairs with it. Fortunately, the caldron transforms into a parachute and smiles.
One of the room set for the talks. A screen, a projector, a computer, many empty chairs on a terrace surrounded by endemic plants and tree of the island.

@davidrevoy Looks like a fun event.

Just a tip, if you wish to protect the privacy of those in the photo make sure to black it out (solid color) not blur. Blurring can be removed.

Congrats to @siegel and the rest of the @bbedit crew for 30 years of BBEdit! If you've somehow managed to avoid getting it for all these years, there's a 30-hour sale pricing it at $30 (use code "BBEDIT30").

And for those who just want something to remember the occasion, a snazzy pin.
