Breaking down rooms in preparation for our move. This our living room setup for the next few days - minimalist and rustic. The rest of our large living room is a pile of disassembled Ikea furniture. Which Casper is inspecting for potential new hiding places.

My favourite hammock for on our balcony broke and landed me on my ass, last month. Just got around to fixing it with parts of a new lashing strap that's rated for much more weight than me. The hammock itself is still in good shape, so this should last me some more years, now.
(I got the hammock from Kickstarter years ago, in a time when I was still fascinated by that website...

A bright green fabric hammock suspended on a balcony. The hammock is attached to a metal frame at the top, which is then secured to the balcony structure with straps. A black cat is visible lying on the balcony floor near the hammock, and various outdoor furniture and household items are in the background.
Close-up of two white fabric straps with purple stitching where they are looped and attached to carabiners, with a brown strap hanging down in the center. In the background, out of focus, is a light-colored outdoor shade and a glimpse of green trees.
The old strap, with a fix I attempted earlier. Of course, the strap was too short and resulted in a lopsided hammock. A coiled grey or tan strap with a small, dark fabric loop at one end, resting on a pillow with a red and grey plaid pattern.

Manual2Skill: Learning to Read Manuals and Acquire Robotic Skills for Furniture Assembly Using Vision-Language Models
Humans possess an extraordinary ability to understand and execute complex manipulation tasks by interpreting abstract instruction manuals. For robots, however, this capability remains a substantial challenge, as they cannot interpret abstract instructions and translate them into executable actions. In this paper, we present Manual2Skill, a novel framework that enables robots to perform complex assembly tasks guided by high-level manual instructions. Our approach leverages a Vision-Language Mode…

The estate of David Lynch is currently being auctioned off and I got curious and went through all the things on offer so you don't have to (ok I was just bored but). The stuff I found most intriguing turned out to be his self-made or self-restored furniture, like these:

three irregularly shaped end tables on a white background
a small laminate shelf, the same three irregular formed end tables, and a fourth little end table on a white background
same 3 end tables as before from a different view
the fourth little table with its drawers open

We're also listing some beautiful furniture. We haven't made much use of any of this since we started working remotely five years ago, so we figure it's time to let others have a chance to enjoy it!

Several large pieces of furniture are being donated to an antique store in Orangeville. It operates as a non-profit, and all sales proceeds go to the local food bank. We had the option of sending it to auction, but the cost of shipping and auction fees would just barely cover what we would likely get. We've owned this furniture for 40 years, so it's time for someone else to enjoy them.

My apartment building stuck a camera in the trash room
Expected result: people will coordinate with the office before dumping furniture, or get charged a junk removal fee
Actual result: people dump the furniture in the hallway, on the other side of the wall from the camera

My latest historical analysis, this time about the craze for Japanese gardens in the US, how they got here and why we should look at the thought behind the Japanese garden, not just the plants and furniture. It can be found in two places, depending on your reading preference.

Relatable AF! I actually witnessed this happen back in my school days. 😂📚
#IT #Linux #School #Meme

A large, fluffy white dog, likely a Great Pyrenees, stands indoors on a light brown tiled floor. Its thick fur is slightly unkempt, and it has a distressed, bewildered expression with wide, downcast eyes and a slightly open, worried mouth. The background shows a plain beige wall with some white trim or furniture. The soft, even lighting suggests an indoor setting. The image conveys humorous helplessness typical of technology memes, despite the dog's anxious look.
