Following up on a post from a while back, I’ve finally cleaned up (slightly) that command-line Safari utility, fari, and put it up on GitHub. @mitch @ricky

Portland friends! This guy is great; I’ve seen him two years running at a van campout event I go to in Bend. Take him up on his offer! #BlackLivesMatter
I’ve been building more with LEGOs lately, mostly to have fun with a couple of my nephews over Zoom calls in a noncompetitive, pseudo-LEGO Masters of our own, and a little bit to organize what I have as yet another house-focused project in these quarantined times.
Serendipitously, I recently found a photo that’s probably the earliest of me with LEGOs, probably pre-1980. I looked up the set, too—it’s Set Number 112 from 1977.
I’d love to recreate this pic sometime. Just need some footie pajamas that fit.
Still buildin’. 🧱
Virtually attending the Nation of Makers conference with the theme of Sustainability: Building & Supporting an Ecosystem That Sustains Us All. While I had hoped to attend this in person down in Eugene, we’re all making the best of the situation right now. Great speakers so far. #NOMCON
I can scarcely believe it. Yesterday, after painstakingly tracing the whole left side of the circuit board, and cautiously attempting some repairs, I actually got this 1990 computer to boot. 😱
I’ve made the third installment in my series on trying to revive a 1980s portable computer. Read on for more about obsessions, sunk costs, how sound works, and stepping back to try to see the big picture. https://justinmiller.io/posts/2020/05/20/project-386-part-3/
Ever wonder which apps are using the most memory on your Mac? I made a quick little doodad that will tell you: https://github.com/incanus/mem.py
Does anyone else have an issue where Mac apps you’ve obtained outside the App Store won’t automatically start when you login? At first, I thought it was just OmniFocus, but now I’ve tracked that down as the common factor.
Been continuing to have fun with the nephews making LEGO challenges. I especially had fun with the food one.
Today was supposed to be the three year anniversary of acquiring the van, with a leisurely drive to get plant starts out on Sauvie Island. Instead, I spent a couple hours next to a high school replacing the fuel return line that had apparently been chewed through by bored rodents emboldened by COVID-related vehicle disuse.
You win some, you lose some.
Apparently I now own this. ✌🏻💚🚌 pic.twitter.com/uRAK2nfCzp
