Making some progress on the plant wall!

  • Cut and painted the pieces
  • Built the wooden mounting fixture
  • Attached the trough to the base
  • Wrapped the wall in a moisture barrier to prevent it from degrading
  • Attached the felt pockets plants will live in :)

Still need to figure out how to mount the lighting to the whole system. Hopefully we finish the trim tomorrow.


Cat-sitting a cutie


Hey Swaroop! Nice to see ex-tweeps here :-) I was a tern on the magicrecs team back in 2020.

Sorry for your loss <\3


One more RL nerd over here :).


CAD-ing up a plant-wall for my living room. I'm going to put a felt panel filled with tropical plants on the wall. Thinking of using rail lights to give the plants the 'sunlight' they need. I'll use a gutter as a reservoir at the base, and drip-irrigate the plants with an aquarium pump.

If all goes well, it should be fully self-sustaining!


There's a good pun, hidden somewhere inside that URL ;)

It's nice to see folks hopping on the decentralisation train.


The test does pass! I think I can even reply :-)


one more test toot.


I've added a little subscribe button to my #indieweb site. Anyone using mastodon, or any ActivityPub based site can see my posts. It'll act just like I'm a mastodon user :)

Decentralisation!
