Tinker Tuesday for August 27, 2024

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.


Last week's thread was quite a bit less active than the original one, but I think this is an idea worth continuing, so here we are. Though one thing that might be worth discussing is the pacing of the thread. If there's not so much activity, maybe we can go from weekly to monthly, and if anyone want's to give weekly reports, they can do so under their project's top level comment. Let me know what you think!

Thanks for posting the thread arjin.

My own update is some mixed success with underwater hockey.

We have made progress on getting access to a new pool for the local area players.

Meanwhile I found that the university club will temporarily be unable to use their normal pool. Terrible timing for recruiting. I think the same thing happened last year. If the university wasn't generally incompetent I'd say they were trying to actively sabotage us.

The university offered to get pool times at nearby local pools in the meantime, but the times offered were garbage. Middle of the day or early early morning. Both of which are a no-go for a casual fun sport.

I'm hoping to turn this into a positive. The university club and the local area players have been disconnected for a while. I'm hoping to get more attendance by university players at the local area players practices. This disconnection is also partly the fault of the university. There was a rule implemented only a few years ago that forbid the non-students from playing in the student club practices.

I'll be attending a recruiting event tomorrow at the university.
