I managed to complete my 22-post series on Design Patterns in C# 🥲🥲🥲
congrats!
Thank you!
I’m 3 weeks in leading my own team and yesterday I had such a great moment of sharing a success with one of my team. We did some pair programming on some code as it was some code he’s not familiar with. it turned out to be a lot more complex than I originally thought when I allocated him the work. It got my brain going too trying to figure it out and mentor him at the same time, it was a mixture of front and backend and when we finally nailed it we high fived and cheered at his desk 😅👏🏻 it was such a great experience for both and I felt so proud and happy at our success 🥰
Really positive and valuable XP that it deserves to be shared!!! 🥳️🥳️🥳️
Best wishes 🤗to you and your new team, Lou.
I made 10 sheets of recycled paper. Eventually I'll have enough for a whole book!
@michaeltharrington, @vulcanwm
It's relatively simple. I have a bag of shredded paper, a plastic tub for holding the paper slurry, a food blender for creating the slurry, ten sheets of felt to dry the paper on, a small sponge, and a mesh frame to form the paper sheets.
Put about half to three quarters of a litre of water in the blender, with a few handfuls of shreddings. Blend until it's a grey mush. It shouldn't take long, less than a minute.
Pour the mush into the tub, and add enough water that you can move the slurry around with the framed mesh. You can make more mush if you have diluted it too much. A bit of trial and error here.
Fill the mesh with slurry, so that it looks like a sheet of paper.
On a flat surface (that you don't mind getting wet), put a sheet of felt onto the mesh, to cover the pulp, then flip the mesh over onto the surface.
Through the mesh, tamp the paper with the sponge, so that the paper attaches to the felt. You will gather a fair amount of water up. I usually squeeze that back into the tub. You need to be fairly patient with this step: tamp tamp, squeeze, tamp tamp squeeze, and so on. On my first few sheets I tried to go too quickly and the pulp was still partially stuck to the mesh when I lifted it up, which ruined the sheet of paper. Once you're getting very little water into the sponge you should be good to go.
Lift the mesh off the felt and leave the paper to dry for a couple of days.
I'm using artificial felt, which melts, but I think with regular felt you can use a heat gun (carefully!) or a hair dryer to speed up the drying.
Once it's dry you can peel the sheet of paper off the felt and you're done.
It was quite relaxing once I got the hang of it, and a good way to recycle my old paperwork.
Wow, yeah this is super cool!! It's an interesting process... though it's involved, I can imagine it being pretty relaxing. 😌
that's amazing!
Haha! Woooaaa... what's this all about? How're you making recycled paper?
wow, how'd you do that?
I have managed to publish an article on how to build an accordion and I got selected as a moderator for #react :)

I went to a really fun concert last night! Saw the funk group Dopapod. If you're interested, you can see a full show of theirs here on YouTube.
I published a book!
Oh rock on!! Major congrats, Rain. That's awesome. 🙌
Thanks so much, Michael!
I formalized things with what's next for me in my career and gave notice this morning. I'm moving out of teaching in a month and moving into consulting.
Oh wow, that's a cool change up. I'm sure you'll be an awesome consultant to work with, Matt. 🙌
Yep! But I'm also going to really miss teaching as well. I'll look for ways of scratching some of that itch as time goes on.
🥳️ I published my first professional article!
But it's didn't got recognition.
🤓 Does anyone have any tips for newbies?
Great weekend to everyone!
I win my account back!!!
Woot! Awww yeah, Imam. 🙌
I'll be posting that good ole music thread in just a few. Look forward to tuning into your suggestions!
Yow!!!! 🛹
The next suggestion is "Ethnic Music" and this will be very interesting, because we will both learn and appreciate our respective cultures.
Oooo good suggestion!!
