I'm making a pattern for a bouldering chalkbag in Inkscape, and I was laying out the pages so that they would tile for my printer by hand, and thought to myself "this is going to take *minutes*, I bet that in only a few dozen hours I can write a script to do this automatically". So I wrote my first Inkscape extension.
It overlaps pages with optional registration marks. The extension, and the chalkbag pattern are up on my codeberg.

Feel like climbing the walls? There’s a new piece of equipment that makes it easier
Wallnuts Climbing Centre in St. John’s now has a machine — of sorts — to help get you up and down their colorful rock wall. The CBC’s Jeremy Eaton dropped by to see it in action.

Why does one need a new #introduction when switching instances? Yes, newbie. Yes, one of the #Forkiverse guys. Don't bite our heads off pretty please with sugar on top.

My reasons for joining: what is this thing? Why does my favourite podcast podcast about it?

I welcome new views on life, the universe and everything. May ask questions. They say there are no such thing as stupid questions. I beg to differ and please feel free to judge away.

There’s a whole lot missing from this story about how Sarah Larcombe’s mental recovery and prep for return to competition.

The headline before clicking through is “After Sarah Larcombe fell off Arapiles, healing her bones was just the beginning”. The story makes it clear that mental recovery is important. But the rest of the text is about the physical aspects.

Klimmen met Parkinson

"Als je Parkinson hebt, dan is beweging essentieel. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat Sportklimmen daarin een verrassend krachtig hulpmiddel is. Het bevordert balans, spierkracht en zelfvertrouwen. Wanneer je voor het eerst een klimhal binnenloopt en eens rondkijkt is dat best intimiderend. Zeker wanneer je Parkinson hebt. In landen waar klimmen populair is zoals Zwitserland, Oostenrijk en de Verenigde Staten, zijn al meer dan 30 klimgroepen specifiek voor mensen met Parkinson. In Nederland is Stichting parKLIMson gestart met groepen in de klimhallen van Neoliet in Eindhoven en Heerlen. De ambitie is dit uit te rollen in heel Nederland.

Klimmen daagt je uit op evenwicht, balans, snelheid, hand-oogcoördinatie en planning. Je maakt grote bewegingen en de groep helpt je door aan te moedigen tot je de top bereikt.

Onderzoek toont aan dat sportklimmen de voortgang van de ziekte vertraagt. Binnen de klimgroepen van parKLIMson ontdekken mensen met Parkinson op een veilige en gezellige manier de voordelen van sportklimmen. Ervaring met klimmen is niet nodig! Sportklimmen is een veelbelovende en motiverende vorm van lichaamsbeweging voor mensen met Parkinson!"
