Update for the week ending on Friday, Nov 25, 2022

Short week due to holidays

TinyPilot

Management

• One 1:1
• Worked on an internal style guide
  • We had one that covered how we talked to customers, but I realized we needed a separate guide that covers writing we do in public, like in blog posts or FAQ articles.
• Continued a silly dispute with a company that overbilled me for a 3D printer.
• Reviewed vendor expenses.
  • Documented the process so that I can delegate this next time.

Software development

• Continued work on pulling logic out of Ansible and into the TinyPilot core repo
  • I didn’t know anything about Debian packaging when I started TinyPilot, and I’ve since learned that Debian packaging tools can do a better job at many of the things I’d been using Ansible for when installing TinyPilot

Customer support

• Reviewed new FAQ article about fixing a “No Signal” message
• Reviewed wiki post about tools for viewing EDIDs

Misc

• Ordered screws/spacers for the next TinyPilot case prototype

ScreenJournal

ScreenJournal is a new project I just started. The idea is basically Goodreads, but for TV and movies. Or letterboxd, but focused on small communities.

• Added auto-complete of movie titles
  • Screenshot
• Registered a domain name
  • screenjournal.com was taken, so I did thescreenjournal.com
  • I have to wait for Sean Parker to tell me how to fix it.

PicoShare

• Fixed a bug where copying an image from the browser and pasting it into PicoShare would paste the HTML instead of the image

Misc

• Scheduled Western Mass indie founders meetup for December
