Weeknotes 29

  • Spent a little time playing around with the MASH stack. Still very much learning the basics of Axum (and everything else in the stack, for that matter). It’s obviously very less “batteries included” than Rails. But it’s got some neat features that suit Rust quite nicely. The with_state function pairs up with Extractors in such a simple way. I’m impressed!
  • Upping my running mileage somewhat. Up to ~10k distance this week. Progress is slow, but these legs are returning to form bit by bit.
  • Finally completed my porch renovation project with a hefty dose of help from my dad. It’s comically over-engineered, but if a tornado ever strikes, our porch is going nowhere. This is the sturdiest porch east of the Mississippi.
  • Speaking of my dad, he just acquired a new motorcycle, which I gave a spin. For whatever reason, it re-ignited my need to have a bike. I haven’t owned a motorcycle since ~2011. So this coming week’s projects include: fixing a DMV snafu that resulted in my class “M” motorcycle license vanishing from my license on my last renewal, and potentially acquiring a bike. Currently eyeballing the Honda NX500.
