Happy Friday

It’s been interesting times. There’s a global pandemic, the stock market is crashing, cryptocurrency is burning 🙂

I’m still learning more Haskell. I need to make the leap to Yesod when my little Haskell legs are stronger. There’s an application I would like to exist that might be a good fit.

My Esperanto is still childish and rusty but Duolingo’s course has improved a lot since the last time I tried it. Eĉ la kurso de Lernu.net estas pli bona la dua (aÅ­ tria) tempo ĉirĉaÅ­ 😉

Peace and Prosperity (No. 0228 / 1000)

Have fun, stay safe out there.

The computer said to drop this here.

I wrote my first “real” Haskell program https://github.com/belovachap/haskell-tools. It took some trial-and-error but I finally figured out that it was easier to use an older stack snapshot (https://www.stackage.org/lts-14.27) that included the package I needed.

That program simply picks a random location to drop an online Peercoin airdrop wallet. “Blog” was the winner, so here it is: airdrop wallet 0208.

Have fun, stay safe.

Wandering, Once Again

I’ve been leaving Peercoin paper wallets around San Francisco off-and-on for a couple of years. It’s raining outside today and it finally tipped the scales on moving the real-world activity online: airdrop wallet 0201. To be honest, the conversion rate for the online wallets is so much higher already.

I’ve continued to learn Haskell and have been updating the Noisebridge wiki along the way https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Haskell. I’ve made some progress on my own but will need to find their community to ask for help on more practical topics (like installing Haskell GTK… maybe https://gitter.im/haskell-chat is the right place for that).

Finally, I’ve been trying to understand Euterpea but get really lost when it mentions music theory concepts. The internet provides answers for those that look, though, edX Introduction to Music Theory 🙂 I’ll see if it helps.

Have fun, stay safe.
