Gueorgui Tcherednitchenko 李于啟 @gueorgui@merveilles.town

Hey Fediverse: My current project is wrapping up soon, and I'm looking for remote contract tech work. I'd be happy to help forward-looking, good-doing organisations plan, design, and build Web projects, all the way from idea to delivery.

I work mostly with Ruby on Rails, but am fluent in JavaScript (+ frameworks) and can wear pretty much any hat needed in the process of building web applications.

If you'd like to work together, please get in touch!

Love from London 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

#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.

This is super useful. Like man pages, but when you're in a bit of a rush. https://tldr.sh/

This is a great post on mu4e: https://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~rs46/posts/2014-01-13-mu4e-email-client.html

Channelled a bit of frustration today into making progress on my email-in-emacs setup. Basic stuff is now working, just need to add all my accounts and setup keybindings the way I like them!

The latest firmware update for my laptop fixed a very frustrating keyboard issue where it would sometimes skip keystrokes. It's really nice to be back with a proper Thinkpad keyboard!

Thank you everyone for all the boosts! 🙌 😭

TIL about Beets, a CLI tool for oganising a music collection. Incredible power! http://beets.io/

Is there such a thing as "buying local" for digital products?

Let's say I'm in London and I want to buy Nils Frahm's new album.

I could buy the mp3s from Bandcamp and get a couple of goodies along the way, but 1) pay in USD & 2) wonder what part of the price is going to the label/artist.

Or I could buy them directly from the London-based label, Erased Tapes -- I wouldn't get any of the goodies, but pay in "native" GBP and it's as close to paying the artist directly as seems possible.

WWYD?

We started watching the Gordon Ramsay course on Masterclass and I got super excited about cooking. #thePantry

Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #LondonLiving
