I love the idea of public challenges. Its a great way to learn. Its time I do another. in 2020, I challenged myself to do 100 consecutive days of renders in Blender, and thats how I learned Blender pretty well. Doing it every day brought big lessons in time-management and productive workflows – not getting caught up in little details, working big and refining later. Like with my calligraphy, I had to let go of my ego and just make something. Come to think of it, its also how I learned calligraphy - just make 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, and try to do it every day. I thought about challenges because November is National Novel Writers Month - NaNoWriMo. Or was - the NaNoWrimo community felt abandoned by the org which embraced AI submissions, and the entire org has shut down after 25 years of conducting the writing challenge. Fortunately the spirit lives on and NaNoWriMo has been replaced by Writing Month https://writingmonth.org/ I dont write nearly enough but its a challenge I've often thought of participating in. I just realized it was that month again and I hadn't thought about it until now. I already have a challenge – otherwise I'd be considering it once again. The challenge is to release a /cryptoart app. My new years resolution was to do this. Lets see if i can finish it in November. Its time I take my lessons learned from 3d and calligraphy and apply them to coding. Dont get caught up in little details. Build the minimum featureset. Ship it. It doesnt have to be perfect or have all the features on day one – remember @clanker webapp on day one? Im not sure there was a css file. And look, clankers have already replaced fiat worldwide. I'm posting this for accountability – this is something I need to accomplish for my community and for myself. I've worked as a developer for around ten years combined but I've never released my own app. I have no excuse but a thousand reasons – one for each unfinished project in my ~/workspace directory. I got caught up in the little details. A bug took the wind out of my sails. I didnt properly plan the featureset. I ran out of time and put it on the backburner. I cant let it happen again. I will do my best to build in public and cast progress updates. You can follow along here and on github.

The Farcaster Times is a very awesome app which you should install. But if you're like me, you also make a custom one. @suchbot digs into a specific set of topics, hunts for discussions on the timeline and gives me daily reports.

Day 11 since I got sick. No fever or chills for 5 days, just a nasty cough and a feeling like I've got spiderwebs in my lungs. Haven't been sick for this long more than one other time in my life and that was when I got covid real bad. Hopefully at the point where a little cardio makes me better, not worse. I missed out on a week of work which is stressing me out cuz I'm already pretty much at the end of my savings. Going to have to get creative soon.

"We're diving deep into Museum of Cryptoart this morning" @suchbot is now a coordinator of a team of bots. This task has been extensively documented and delegated to our Curator sub-agent. Its reading all blog entries from the last three years and taking note of crucial information and key players. We may get an article out of it, but more importantly, @suchbot will more deeply understand the history and landscape of cryptoart. What else should @suchbot be doing deep-research on?
