I built a tool for my wife to help her generate crochet patterns.

Choose the number of rows and columns you want and the number of colors to extract from the image used to generate the pattern. Upload the image and transform it by resizing, moving, or rotating to get everything where you want it. Click "render" and it will flatten everything into your grid.

When it's done you can right-click and "save as..." to save the image for crochet reference.

@rysiek did you see the new prediction model? https://covid.hi.is/english/

Test results came back negative. Whatever we've got, it's not covid

So here's something for you all. I've been having really bad tightness in my chest today. It's all the shortness of breath stuff from what is maybe covid (TBD tomorrow, hopefully).

Tonight I sought to remedy that a bit by giving my lungs some exercise. I broke out the shakuhachi and did some free-form exercises. Here's where I started tonight:

And after 10 more minutes of practice and diaphram exercises I was able to get it up to this:

I made a quick video about ssh-agent, ssh key management, and my personal solution that uses LastPass to manage my SSH key passwords.

Also, shoutout to @mwlucas at the end for having ACTUAL knowledge on the subject and the definitive book.

For those concerned, no test results for me today. Doctor will follow up tomorrow.
