Taking time off from formal employment to work on whatever I want. Which is open source projects entirely of my own choosing.

Return to office so you can join zoom meetings!

I like streamlit but found it if gets beyond a certain size it gets very hard to manage.

Also, because FastHTML is powered by starlette, it handles async really well. That means web sockets have been a trivial implementation.

I'm in the UK now, specifically London. The owner of the flat doesn't live in the UK, works through a management company.

I'm in London and would have loved to be able to talk directly to the owner of the property. I tried to do that, I really did. So would the building manager.

I only found out the place was being used as an AirBnB when I knocked on the door to tell them their flat was leaking water into the main corridor and a guest answered. The host (which claims to be a management company) does its best to dodge any kind of communications. Their rentals are mismanaged illegal stays in central London, which AirBnB doesn't seem to care about addressing.

My understanding is that our building has a number of AirBnB rentals. Since it's hard to get them out, building management doesn't worry about it unless it becomes a maintenance or noise problem. In this case, my "neighbour" is such a problem, so the pattern is to call in the authorities until something happens.

When I asked the building manager about contacting AirBnB, they laughed out loud.

We had a similar thing with a malignant AirBnB host next to our living place. Plus issues with water leaks on their side. The host company and AirBnB made it clear their business was rentals, not taking care of the property or community on which they profit.

I used to be happy with AirBnB as an option when I travel, now it is my last resort if I can't find a hotel room.

At 40 I had a stalled career and an unfortunate marriage where we truly disliked reach other; I was extremely unhappy and bitter. I felt that I was stuck and wondered if this was my lot in life.

I stepped clear. I got divorced. I started over. The coding skills I had I re-applied to things I wanted to do. My ex moved on and found someone good for her.

In the years that followed I found the love of my life and had a beautiful daughter. Restarting was a great move for me.

But a lot of the bitterness and anger remained. I've been a total jerk at times. It took a long time to get over the frustrations caused by staying in my old place for so long. I found therapy and constructive outlets for myself, got over many of the dark feelings, and I believe I've become a better person for it.

My story is my own, not yours. However, what I can say is get yourself to a therapist. If you can change your life now, why not try to do so?

Just discovered I can in theory use Youtube TV. The offer being submitted is to sign up for a year. So I stand corrected.

That's not true at all. There's literally no way for many Americans to find live or recorded events for free or to pay. NBC has blocked it off.

Sentry uses Django.

Pinterest left Django for other things years ago.
