Our next featured creator has done creative work with maths). Does maths ever feature in any way in your creative work?
Uhhmmm.... Yes! In two of my works in progress a major character is a mathematician. In the more serious of the two, the narrator-protagonist, Dante Rory, is a professor of mathematics with a keen interest in cryptography and cryptanalysis. That's *mostly* tangential to the plot, but it's an important part of establishing his character.

I live close to nature. I regularly go for a run in the countryside. Over several years, during my runs, I’ve taken pictures from the same position, always roughly the same angle. I had a vague idea in the back of my mind, as an 'artistic' project. One day, I’d turn those photos into a time-lapse video, one that would show the passage of seasons across a single place.

Thanks to a work-in-progress Homebrew cask by Andi Péter (codeberg.org/GramEditor/gram/i), I was just able to quickly install and play with the new Gram code editor (

Screenshot of opening screen of the Gram editor with a simple frog illustration and the tagline “What cannot be mended must be transcended.”

It shows a Get Started section with New File, Open Project, Clone Repository, Open Command Palette, and Open Documentation links and a Configure section with Open Settings and Explore Extensions options.

The full text in the document reads: This is a little demo of gram...
I'm using Helix mode
And it seems to work quite well :)

1/2 lots of yard work today. Cleared out the evil invasive blackberry stalks trying to gain a foothold in our blueberry/rose/rhodo/otherthings garden.
You don't realize how much there is until you pull it all out and pile it in one place!
We are slowly leveling the mountain from the #PoolPond so this was helpful progress on that front.
Managed to extract the biggest blackberry root ball I have ever seen from beside our tinkerbell lilac.

Lots of progress and a lots of pain. However, all of the Sisyphus modules have been implemented and I'm currently running a test across the `2.0.0b2` version. The most painful thing I fought was literally tailing a log file. Got lazy and brought in `hpcloud/tail` because it did what I needed it to, but what it _didn't_ do was work well for my application. After a day or two of battling it, I removed it and went with `bufio.NewReader`and a nice `context.CloseWith` setup and now it…

A screenshot of the 2.0.0b2 client running on `encoder01` in two terminal windows.  The top-left window shows the log output of the client, the bottom-left window shows current CPU load via `btop`.  The webpage in the background shows the progress of all the encoder clients and what jobs they're running.

One typical use of AI coding assistants in my work right now: generating locator maps for Bolivian municipalities on #Wikipedia with Posit AI, R, sf package, and public data.
The process was not fast, but now I'm enjoying the power of code to churn out all 339 of these.

My user contribution page on Commons.wikimedia.org dispalying five locator maps for Bolivian municipalities.

My daughter had her second complete game pitched yesterday, and a win. Our practice work is showing up on the field for sure now. Her weakness now is still too many balls thrown. The pitches that are in the strike zone come in fast and are hard to hit, or if hit they go nowhere. But yeah, getting there. We just keep on working on keeping her form the same. Super proud of her progress!

Work in progress website mockup. Not sure if I'll ever get to finishing this or turning it into code, but I always enjoy working on web design stuff :)

Went to see Stuart Goldsmith doing his work in progress stand up show about the climate at the local theater.
He's a funny man and has a good friendly personality (or stage-persona at least I guess) and is terrified and anxious and angry about the way the people are treating the world without out even being their fault.
It's a good show, he's a good guy, you should go see him do it at Edinburgh or whenever he's in your town.
No action you can take as an individual really makes much difference to the end of the world stuff. You should be vegan perhaps, ethical banking perhaps. But really the only thing that works is mass social pressure, so talking about it is the best thing you can do. If you can't be vegan, at least say you are.
Perhaps telling everyone on linked-in to book him for their climate sessions is best he reckons 😆 but I don't do corporate social media at all really, so Mastodon and cross post to Bluesky is the best thing I can do perhaps.
Stu's a friend of a friend, we've met before. Don't think he recognized me sitting in the front row without context against the stage lights though. Maybe a little at the end with some context when he's rushing to get home.
Still love that Captain Pike hairdo.
