This video is sponsored by Squarespace Work and personal projects since I came back from vacation so I wanted to share with you guys what’s going on this is a very laid back type of video but I’m also going to share with you some interesting stuff I learned and some resources worth checking out if you’re
Into coding and there’s a free new wallpaper pack But first I have to show you this some of my buddies have been using my desk while I was away from work but it seems like nobody watered my plans and I think I just came in time to save them also it’s hilarious to me how they didn’t
Figure out how to use the monitors or the dock so they just disconnected everything and use the cables like randomly so here’s a quick tutorial on how to use my desk for the people at my office Step 1 plug the monitors into the dock step two plug the dock into your laptop
For now I was just getting all set up and I cleaned my keyboard I give myself some time to adjust to being in the office and as I was walking around a colleague of mine came to pitch me about this idea to make a video about making a
Website from scratch the way websites were made in the 90s and you remember this one amazing website that I want to show you it’s called links cards and it’s like a very old school I mean look at this thing type of design it’s a working website though it’s not
Abandoned but anyhow I came here by bike and of course it started pouring like 10 minutes after I came into the office but I had some work to do here anyway so I decided to just wait it out apart from this I’m not sure if I’m the only one
But when it comes to devops the prevalent abuse of yaml is something I cannot I don’t know what’s the word but I simply can’t yaml so I’m always looking at cdk in my free time like a kid who is staying up late to play games even though parents said it’s bedtime on
The plus side after a few hours my plans started to show signs of life and the rain has temporarily stopped so I rushed to get home in time the operative word here being temporarily because it started raining the moment I got back on that bike but you know what after those
Scorching days in Greece I didn’t even mind the rain the cold air felt nice for a change by the way I hope you guys in Greece are doing okay but yeah this was me after about 30 minutes on that bike after I came home I made myself a very
Gentle half teaspoon coffee and I was ready to get started on a bit of creative work in peace and I just started rendering some initial designs for the new wallpaper pack when I hit a pestering issue that has been happening with my Mac recently every now and then
The mouse starts getting very jerky and imprecise and the keyboard feels kind of slow so after a bit of trial and error I narrowed it down to the Bluetooth connection I did find the solution which is a bit hacky but first let me show you where you can download the finished
Wallpaper pack and give a quick shout out to Squarespace I’ve been hosting my website over at Squarespace for almost a year now because they make it so easy to create quick Pages like this and make edits right there I don’t really have time to write basic HTML like that and
I’d rather work on my apps so it’s very convenient for me to Simply make another section change the text upload the zip archive with the wallpaper pack and I’m done make sure to check out the link in the description to get 10 off with your next Squarespace subscription using the code marker
So you start a blender and obviously delete the default Cube you add a plane then you add the subdivision surface modifier and make a few divisions you scale the plane a little bit then you position the camera right on top of the plane looking down make sure to turn on
The rendered view then you can adjust your light I usually have two different lights with two different colors then you add a displacement modifier and you create a new texture you go into the texture Tab and you select something like clouds and this is the basic thing
That creates the pattern and then lastly you create a new material you crank the metallic property all the way up and then you reduce the roughness so that it’s more shiny and that’s pretty much it from there you just play with the values and with that we conclude today’s blender tutorial
All right back to the solution so I asked Chan GPT to write me a shell script that will toggle the Bluetooth off and back on again after a second but it wasn’t working to be honest recently I had more luck with this tool called perplexity and this time it gave me a
Better answer it involved installing some utility first which then I could call from my shell script and it worked perfectly I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue with the Mac but I’ll link the shell script and the utility in the description so maybe you can try it
And so as the wallpapers took a little bit of time to render I decided to check what’s on my to-do list and maybe make some progress with that here’s my actual list and one of the pressing issues these days is answering email I feel like the more effort I put in the more
Email I get back so I’ve resorted to somewhat time boxing it and so I spent a little bit of time with that and as the final images were rendering I checked off the email item for now and I switched gears to working on something creative again I wanted to design a logo
For my side project the analytics app which is called fire charts so using those two words as inspiration I started drawing different ideas and in the end I came up with these two but I felt like the second one was a bit more unique so I decided to make something in figma and
After a few iterations and quoting quote borrowing the colors from the Firebase logo I ended up with something like this let me know what you think tomorrow I work from home and in the afternoon I went for a long walk I ended up walking like 12 kilometers and the whole time I
Was chasing the weather or maybe it was chasing me I don’t really know but I did manage to get a quick moment without any rain out in the water and I really needed some time to relax after a day of meetings and those quick sinks on slack
But the next day now that I had my wallpaper pack finished I really wanted to go back to the office and try it out on my double monitor setup Thank you In the office I was delighted to see my plans have come back to life and I feel like I’m slowly getting back into my routine here which feels really nice after the hectic location that I had but anyway now that the initial blast of emails piled up slack messages and
