<p>I live in rural <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/aotearoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>aotearoa</span></a>/#newzealand in an earth brick house that looks like a Romanesque abbey. I spend my time coding, making electronic stuff, a bit of writing, some woodwork and a lot of gardening.<br />Weather permitting I kayak and hike.<br />I try to use my old, white, male privilege for good.<br />My header shows a mountain tarn on the Kepler track, with Te Anau in the distance (except the cloud got in the way). My profile is clipped from a shot taken on the Tongariro Crossing before I got tired.</p>

    #3GoodThings - waterfowl visiting our pond. A pair of mallard and a pair of putangitangi - Mrs made lentil soup. Lovely on a cold day. - Rust, the language, is really nice to use. I&#39;ve been building a UI which deploys in WASM and talks to a backend. Rust on both ends.

    My Matariki cake! It&#39;s basically a lemon blueberry cake (lemon and blueberries from our trees). The stars are made from icing coloured by the blueberries (not artificial colours).

    Does anyone know if any languages have a word that expresses the regret that you didn&amp;#39;t wash the dishes last night and have to face them today? Asking for a friend... #dishes #language

    @fluidlogic I worked on PDP 11s from the mid 70s to 1981 then onto Vax gear. So 16bits then 32 bits. It meant I got into 32 bits early and I wasn&#39;t interested in the PC machines. I did dabble in Windows towards the end of the 80s because a client wanted it and... only 16 bits? Are you kidding me?

    I&amp;#39;ve been messing about with #Rust lately and using #eclipseide with it. I had to solve a couple of problems so I wrote up what I did. https://madurasoftware.com/blog/eclipse-and-rust
