This week's dispatches from the Ministry of Intrigue
Hello, faithful reader.
We published the following fresh dispatches this week:
Weeknotes for 2024-04-05
April 3, 2024, 3:14 p.m.
At this rate I might have to rename this segments to “Monthnotes”. So let’s at least talk about the last two weeks, shall we?
So, here’s what’s been going on in everything Daniel:
Took some PTO to spend time with the fam, which was great.
Released a new open source Django app:
django-markov.It provides tools for generating and saving Markov text models to the database for use in sentence generation. It’s extracted and improved from the work I’ve already done on
django-quotesbecause I found myself needing to reuse that functionality for another hobby project. The next step is to refactordjango-quotesto use it under the hood as well.
Released two new episodes of our podcast:
222: Familiar Places: To escape the realities of Lathe, the crew revisits old conquests.
223: Past is Prologue: The crew’s past gives glimpses of their future.
We reached a big milestone that we’re excited about: our downloads have surpassed the gamer number!

Yes, we are children. Finished watching season one of the live-action One Piece on Netflix, which was so good.
Did some spring cleaning.
Played around with some Indieweb concepts like Microformats and webmentions. These probably deserve a blog post of their own.
Probably a bunch of other stuff I’ve completely forgotten about too!
And that's it!
