Bad brain from too long in the code mines. I make runno.dev, and work in ed tech. Hobbiest runner, hiker, climber, DJ and cat tree. He/Him living on Wurundjeri country in Narrm (Melbourne).
Just bought a 2011 Honda CR-V, and this thing is a snapshot in time. It does Bluetooth calling but not audio. It supports MP3 CDs. It has an aux input. It has a DVD player on the roof that can transmit audio over FM, or via infrared (!!) headphones. Anyway here’s the DVD title screen to Anchorman.

I’m sick this weekend so I built a Runno MCP server. Now Claude can safely run code to answer my questions.

Released 0.2.1 of runno to PyPI. This fixes an issue where the source distribution didn’t have the source in it (lol). I am considering this a shame version.

Big recommend for my top artist of 2024 Acopia. Local Melbourne band with a real chill and vibey sound. Listen to this album: open.spotify.com/album/4GPuQE...

Can’t decide if I want this profile to post code, bad takes, bad jokes, or normie stuff. Anyway here’s a photo from Karaoke.

I’m still figuring out my core karaoke songs. I really like Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse. I’m also into anything from the emo era. What does everyone else go for?

✅ take a nice picture

I think this one from the hike is my favourite

✅ big long three day hike

✅ DJ with a friend

Terrible photo, but the only one I got. We were awful, our taste didn’t match well and we did some terrible mixes, it was super fun 10/10.

✅ eat something tasty

Got this Omurice from Little May Espresso in Montville on the Sunshine Coast. Fantastic little cafe, real gem for the area!

But it’s nice being able to go on a holiday to summer from winter and stay in the same country

trying out a new thing where I put my shopping list in my calendar for a time when I think I’ll be near a grocery store, let’s see if this works
