#introductions

Nice to meet you! My name is Gueorgui, and I'm a photographer, designer, and engineer living and working in London, UK after living in Russia, France, Germany, and Japan.

In my work life, I'm running a tiny creative studio called A Possible Space (https://a.possible.space) together with my wife.

I'm interested in the intersections of art, tech, society, and in working for an ethical, sustainable future.

📋 Ok, time for another nerdy poll. What's your favourite static website generator? If something else — reply, please! Boosts welcome.

I've used Stack Overflow for so many years in a purely consumer role, I wonder why I never took the time to participate... Impostor syndrome, if I had to guess! It feels good to engage, though.

Turns out that writing answers on Stack Overflow is a great way to get a better understanding of a topic. Since I'm learning about managing local state in Apollo Client these days, I could write this answer, which is my first SO answer to someone else's question!

Hyped myself into doing Advent of Code 2019 as a way to learn Lisp, and just as quickly pulled back after realising that I have many, many other things that need doing. Procrastination avoided!

Hey fediverse, are there some FOSS tools that would let me do trip planning as efficiently as Google Maps and its lists? This is the last Google service that I can't seem to get myself out of.

I wish Merveilles allowed colour avatars sometimes, as I'm very much a fan of this drawing my wife made of me! ❤️ #cuteposting

I'm happy to see a few film photography nerds on Merveilles 🥰

What is it with Apollo docs? I keep noticing that my eyes completely glaze over as I try to wrap my head around local resolvers and cache management. Are the docs badly written? Am I just trying too hard?

We started watching Mr. Robot and after just this first episode I'm liking it very much already.

Today we had our 1 year marriage anniversary portrait drawn by the awesome Wilfrid Wood 👍🏻 His website: http://www.wilfridwood.com/

Listening to the new Beck album purely because there is a #HachiRoku on the cover. #theStudio

In the first version of this toot I wrote "I'm not a stereotypical Arch nerd", while I actually meant "I'm NOW a stereotypical Arch nerd". Unconscious denial!

I'm now a stereotypical Arch nerd: I'm running i3 with a customised bar (polybar), and I'm loving it. My x230 runs super fast, and I feel less restricted by the tiny screen.

Using Iosevka for now. It looks great and a nice side effect of a narrow font is that I can have 4 columns of Emacs buffers open on my big screen instead of 3, and 3 instead of 2 on my small screen 👍

Programming ligatures in fonts such as Fira Code is another thing I don't understand the utility of. Sure it looks a little prettier, but... Maybe it's because there are way too many abstractions in programming work already (React, I'm looking your way).
