Elena ``of Valhalla''
Elena ``of Valhalla''Magari a @LaVi@livellosegreto.it interessa sapere che ho appena restituito retebibliotecaria.provincia.va⦠ed è in viaggio per tornare in quel di Saronno
(Γ¨ un libro del 1978, con riproduzioni delle stampe dell'ottocento)
Elena ``of Valhalla''@GustavinoBevilacqua@mastodon.cisti.org credo che la procedura sia la stessa di make-origami.com/HelenaVerrill⦠che probabilmente è più comodo da seguire
mi aspetto che numberphile parli anche del fatto che non Γ¨ un'approssimazione
Elena ``of Valhalla''@GustavinoBevilacqua@mastodon.cisti.org ok, ho visto il video, parla della cosa in piΓΉ che gli origami hanno rispetto a riga e compasso, ma basandosi su quest'altro video youtu.be/6Lm9EHhbJAY dove ha parlato di riga e compasso
e non fa la dimostrazione, ma la lascia come esercizio al lettore (maledetti matematici :D )
Elena ``of Valhalla''Immagino che tutta #puntarella si starΓ rallegrando di questa notizia:

Elena ``of Valhalla''dear virt-manager,
when I try to create a virtual machine that uses a network that is not currently active you conveniently provide me with a button to activate it.
why don't you do the same when I try to start a virtual machine?
why do I have to start the network somewhere else???
(Could I add a whishlist bug? yes. Do I want to bother? eh.)
Elena ``of Valhalla''I've decided to write on my planner the days when I've taken an oil based integrator (one capital letter per month), and the only valid reason why I shouldn't buy a new golden-green #fountainPenInk is that I already have a CMYK kit, right?
Elena ``of Valhalla''Ho deciso di segnarmi sull'agenda i giorni in cui prendo un integratore a base d'olio (devo scrivere una lettera maiuscola al mese) e l'unico motivo valido per non comprare un nuovo #InchiostroPerStilografica verde dorato Γ¨ che ho un kit CMYK, vero?

A few years ago I wrote some planner generating code to make myself a custom planner; in November 2023 I generated a few, and posted them here on the blog, in case somebody was interested in using them.
In 2024 I tried to do the same, and ended up being even more late, to the point where I didnβt generate any (uooops).
I did, however, start to write a Makefile to automate the generation (and got stuck on the fact that there wasnβt an easy way to deduce the correct options needed from just the template name); this year, with the same promptness as in 2023 I got back to the Makefile and finished it, so maybe next year I will be able to post them early enough for people to print and bind them? maybe :)
Anyway, these are all of the variants I currently generate, for 2026.
The files with -book in the name have been imposed on A4 paper for a 16 pages signature. All of the fonts have been converted to paths, for ease of printing (yes, this means that customizing the font requires running the script, but the alternative also had its drawbacks).
In English:

Some of the planners include ephemerids and moon phase data: these have been calculated for the town of Como, and specifically forgeo:45.81478,9.07522?z=17, because thatβs what everybody needs, right?
If you need the ephemerids for a different location and canβt run the script yourself (it depends on pdfjam, i.e. various GB of LaTeX, and a few python modules such as dateutil, pypdf and jinja2), feel free to ask: unless I receive too many requests to make this sustainable Iβll generate them and add them to this post.
I hereby release all the PDFs linked in this blog post under the CC0 license.
You may notice that I havenβt decided on a license for the code dump repository; again if you need it for something (that is compatible with its unsupported status) other than running it for personal use (for which afaik there is an implicit license) let me know and Iβll push βdecide on a licenseβ higher on the stack of things to do :D
Finishing the Makefile meant that I had to add a tiny feature to one of the scripts involved, which required me to add a dependency to pypdf: up to now I have been doing the page manipulations with pdfjam, which is pretty convenient to use, but also uses LaTeX, and apparently not every computer comes with texlive installed (shocking, I know).
If Iβm not mistaken, pypdf can do all of the things Iβm doing with pdfjam, so maybe for the next year I could convert my script to use that one instead.
But then the planners 2027 will be quick and easy, and I will be able to publish them promptly, right?

Elena ``of Valhalla''stamattina:
io: @diegor@social.gl-como.it , tu sei ufficialmente il capofamiglia, giusto?
diego: uhm, sì?
io: e quindi tu hai del potere, giusto?
diego: [mi guarda con aria sofferente]
me: [gli passo una sveglia con la batteria ricaricabile scarica] questo avrebbe bisogno di un po' di potere, grazie [scappa]
Elena ``of Valhalla''note for the people who are following me to learn Italian: in Italian βpotereβ means βpowerβ (e.g. political power or economical power), but it doesn't have the meaning β(electrical) powerβ, we just use it that way at home for fun
