09 27 pick a task print it focus on that that s the idea all my life i ve been inventing new ways of organizing and picking todos and various gamifications to create rewards and make the process appealing anything to survive the execution paralysis of my tasks and win against procrastination disclaimer i m not here to tell you about a magic way to fight your procrastination and cure adhd i don t have such a secret recipe and the internet is already flooded with blog posts yt videos and best selling books on the topic something that worked particularly well for me was to write down tasks on small paper cards 2 5 cm one task each then i would roll them and keep them in a jar when looking for something to do i would just pick one randomly read it and focus only on that that would solve i the anxiety of seeing a list of todos that was too long to feel manageable ii the prioritization paralysis of picking one task among many high priority urgent things iii any attempt of mine at multi tasking among many separate tasks additionally done slips could be accumulated in another jar and filling up a jar fully or up to a certain level would be a measurable sign of success i could set milestones and related self rewards through that so in short i ve decided to digitize this technique and blend in my passion for retro computing 3d printing and severance i love the atmosphere in the series love mystery mixed with sci fi and it reminds me a bit of the computing design golden age of olivetti the prototype i m showing you today i ve actually had for quite some time it must have been around 2 years i also haven t used it for quite some time to be honest but it was made of two separate devices a raspberry pi 3 model b in a case display kit and a thermal printer and it didn t look as good as it does now over the last two weekends i ve worked on an enclosure for both plus some software fixes and ui reworking the result of two weekends and quite a lot of 3d printing the main idea is simple a single place where i accumulate things to do reachable through apis currently using a trello board but i should extend it to support other similar platforms a ui touch screen to get new tasks mark them as done or postpone them a thermal printer to give that retro computing touch plus it s small and convenient it doesn t require ink i love thermal printers and have used them for other projects as well on top of that a few important details the task can be accompanied by an amount of effort required in minutes this is used to track the elapsed remaining time on the display picking of the tasks should not be completely random it should be based on the time of day day of week creation timestamp deadline if set on the task and time and effort needed i ve attached an llm to this task using openrouter now that jev and similar models are becoming all the rage at least this week surely next week there will be 3 other new booming technologies in ai i m thinking that probably that could be a good use case for such a model in any case when the llm is not available e g i don t top up my credit in openrouter it can fall back to a simple heuristic based on urgency and staleness i have apart from the todo cards another pile of tasks called better than nothing in there i keep things i should actually enjoy doing e g playing guitar but i don t do them because i m constantly thinking i have important stuff to do also these fun activities are not one off tasks they can be repeated when an llm picks a task it may choose an enjoyable task during the weekend or after a certain number of completed serious tasks other things i m not going to bore you about so now moving to the enclosure part which is the one i wasted several hours on and days of non stop printing in short i wanted a single case that could hold together both the raspberry pi display and the thermal printer first i thought of having the display on top of the printer but it felt somehow wrong i went for the side by side design with the screen tilted like an old minitel terminal the problem with that was that my printer a bambu lab p1s doesn t have a big enough print bed it s 256 256 mm while the final case assembled is 393 172 200 mm because of that i had to split it into two bays one for the raspberry pi kit and cables with the tilted shape one for the printer almost like a cube i started with the printer enclosure i ve always used the printer oriented with the paper outlet on the top side which is the normal orientation if you have it on a desk then i realized it allows for a second orientation with the paper outlet in front meant for hanging the printer on a wall now the problem is in my case the printer would still need to rest on the floor of the case not hung on a wall and it wasn t meant to sit like that it has an irregular shape plus in that orientation the on off switch would end up being pressed by its weight so i had to design a ramp to compensate for the tilted sides of the printer why am i even trying to explain this in words i don t even know you can see it better from the pictures long story short i had to prepare a seating for the printer to sit straight and a rear panel to hold it steady this took me a while to tackle had to print multiple prototypes of this ramp but in the end i was satisfied on the display side i ve designed an aperture in the case with four brackets behind so that the metal mount of the display could be screwed to them i ve replaced the various power adapters and usb chargers with a single 72 w 24 v adapter and a 24 v 5 v converter to power both the printer and raspberry pi i wanted the whole thing to be cable free apart from one inlet for the 24 v power a dozen inserts after and i was ready to assemble the cherry on top a petg translucent insert positioned in front of the printer blue light if you are interested you can find the whole project on github yet another directory but i love it transmitted 2026 09 06 here goes nothing first project i m thinking of this weekend activity like some kind of advent calendar let s see there are 16 weekends to christmas 2026 this included so i can publish 16 different projects of mine it s dir highlatencylife com this one is a pretty static website i like its design but above all its purpose it s an old style webistes directory i m quite fond of the kind of platform when i got my first pc google was just born but the concept of search engine was much less known than the concept of directories at least for simple users curated directories in fact i remember that i ve known google itself through an italian website that mainly hosted a directory was called arianna part of iol italia online i also remember using altavista in that period but now i diverge because the power of directories other italian examples from that period late 90s tuttogratis virgilio genio was not about finding what you were looking for was about finding what you weren t even looking for because potentially you didn t know 1 it existed 2 you needed it i get it recommender systems more recently known as the algorithm have had the role of filling that gap creating the neverending feed we can scroll anytime everywhere forever but the issue with those is that they don t pursue that goal of showing us things we may care about or things from which we can learn and discover new stuff their goal is much simpler maximize the time you spend on the platform although there is an overlap there if you never see something you care about sooner or later you ll leave it s not exactly the same and it s known that reward hacking can create monsters so yes i created yet another directory i m currently the king there so i decide what goes in and what gets in evidence spots but you can submit whatever and i ll review i m not gonna say ai didn t help with it of course it did and it does some of the websites there i ve stumbled upon by myself mostly recently although i m gonna find my two decades worth of bookmarks and torture you with it soon other are surfaced by a set of bots that i scheduled to crawl the web for new stuff but i a human so far until trascendence am the judge of what s actually cool and interesting plus as a gating rule for websites i avoid anything that can afford a marketing department prioritizing individual and small groups or open source and non profit efforts simply because they re often harder to find randomly first transmission transmitted 2026 07 19 as you can see this website runs off a stack of tractor feed paper or the closest a browser will let me get to one the plan from here notes like this one a proper projects log a gallery for astrophotography moving them from my instagram page and a few small free tools everything arrives when it is ready my latency in fact is unpredictable also nothing here will ever ask for your attention if you want to be told when something new is printed there is an rss feed that is the whole notification system all transmissions file index txt 01 07 my n th attempt at a personal website blog my first attempt was in the summer of the year 2000 last one was probably around 2013 maybe i ll tell that story as well but first i would like to commit to a simple plan to publish every weekend one of the many projects i ve been working on in recent years why even if no one will find them putting together some final notes on my for fun works means closure for one of the 1000 ideas that keep buzzing in my head about txt who is behind this projects log things built and hosted here tools sys small utilities that run in your browser astro dat long exposures of the night sky notes log occasional transmissions manifesto txt why this site is slow on purpose high latency usually describes a slow laggy connection here it just means most of what s on this site is something i made a while ago often years ago usually unfinished and am finally getting out of my head and into the open cat manifesto txt full 8 cut here 8 end of form page 01 of 07 2026 stefano highlatencylife com
