@jakjakob0Bye outlook - thunderbird is taking over!
@sahitid0:forsyth-hacks-label:forsyth hacks (#forsyth-hacks) happened on November 18th, 2023 and was an overall success! at a point we had around 60 attendees and overall had an amazing time with our theme ⚡ (electricity) as well as workshops ranging from @ajs2’s jams to a mini UI design competition. and finally, the hours of food, coding, new friends, and projects (everything from a storm tracker app to a platformer game made w flow!)
personal highlights of the event for me was probably the conversations i had with new people :heart_hands: the whole day, the chance to mentor a group into creating their entire project - from not having an idea, to developing and shipping it 🚢, lightning talks during lunch (like the one about jamstack by @davidm) 🎤, presenting an APIs workshop :postman:, the amazing swag we were able to handout (including string bags, polaroids :tw_camera_with_flash:, & stickers), and of course the presentations at the end!
i want to give a huge thank you and shoutout to the following:
• @ChristianDutton-U04E0LL16MA right hand man all the way and helped make my website design a lovely reality. (can't wait for 3.0)
• @RyanDu-U04QM0MH6TV for the fresh new perspective and ideas for the event & an awesome workshop on how to not make crappy UI design (as well as the mini:figma:competition afterward)
• dj! for the most amazing design and logo for the event :forsyth-hacks-2-bulb:. (or "sick sticker" as sam poder himself deemed worthy)
• everyone who attended! we had over triple the amount of projects than last year and over 80 registered by the day of!
• and ofc everyone at hack club :hackclub-party: who cheered me on all the way (and :bank-hackclub-dark: ofc hcb grant- this event would not have been possible without this :money-printer:, and from the bottom of my heart i am very grateful :blobheart: ).
◦ i had an amazing conversation with @theamazing0 in the middle of the day about how special hack club was to me and how he's in the process of discovering this love for the community as i did a year ago.
▪︎ this spread of love would not be possible if not for the support of more hackathons and more clubs around the world!

@OrbitalDev0Okay, so I know winter hardware wonderland hasn't started yet... but we're getting ready to have a small storm system move through and I wanted to gather some data! Hope it's okay that I set up this sensor early...
For now, it's sitting in my room (that large temperature dip was it going outside)
I'm going to waterproof it and move it outside tomorrow morning after I do some schoolwork...
@philipstudentemail0Had to make quick run for the dog chow before the ice storm hits
@Andrew0basically done configuring my mac (finished like 2 days ago or smth, but I forgot to post this). github.com/anddddrew/dot if you are interested.
(the terminal is ITerm2 with github.com/alii/poimandres-terminal storm theme) and the rest of my programs, and other stuff is on the repo I sent above
@HackClubCOET0" Everyday a million miracles begins at sunrise"
This is just the calm before the storm
Stay tuned for more
⚡ HackClub COET⚡@caleb0I'm gonna try to get @scrappy to react with as many emojis as possible, for no particular reason.
When we arrived in space, there were shouts of "yay!" and "hooray!" I wanted to sleep, but the sunset was much too captivating. As I struggled to paint a representation of the masterpiece, my art was cut short by a reminder of our predicament. Our ship's Linux core had been damaged by a rain storm. Upon further inspection, is appeared as though the Rust installation on our ship's robot had been corrupted. We debated which language to replace it with; "Golang!" Matt said. "Swift!" Linus shouted. "Deno!" "JavaScript!" We decided on rewriting the robot's code using minecraft redstone (that way we didn't have to use npm). 15 years later, once we finished, we pushed to the GitHub repository. But wait! The robot's hardware was also severely crippled. We had to 3d print some parts, after getting the models from Google.
