I live on a narrowboat, here in the UK. As part of my licence conditions I have to move every couple of weeks. So this weekend is boat moving time. I'm moving from Leeds in West Yorkshire to Wakefield, which is a roughly 4.5 hour journey. I have 7 locks to navigate through, a water tank to fill up and a place to moor up to find.
That'll be most of Saturday I suspect!
Oh, as a point of reference, Leeds to Wakefield by car/motorbike is around 20 minutes.

Cool!
How much did it cost you (if you don't mind me asking)?
What made you decide to be a liveaboard boater? How long have you been doing so? What are the biggest drawbacks for you? What are the biggest advantages for you? Do you have to pay for the places you moor or is it like finding a parking place? Is there anything special that has to be done to get a license? What's maintenance on the boat like? Are you completely disconnected from the "grid" in that all water is stored and electricity stored aboard?
The boat cost me £34k about two years ago. I've done some work on it so it's probably worth a little more now. Originally started living on a boat when I moved to London after living overseas for...
The boat cost me £34k about two years ago. I've done some work on it so it's probably worth a little more now.
Originally started living on a boat when I moved to London after living overseas for a number of years. The cost of renting a place in London wasn't something I was willing to pay and looked into other options and an evening walk along the canal in London made me think it might be an idea. So did that, loved the lifestyle and have stuck with it! I've been living aboard for 4 years now and can't see myself moving back onto dry land any time soon. It's definitely me.
I pay a license fee every year (about £800) and that allows me to moor up at visitor and towpath moorings for free for up to two weeks and then you have to find somewhere else. There's no requirements to have a licence, such as having done lessons etc., you just pay for the licence and that is it. You can pretty much moor up anywhere you can moor up, so to speak. If you can safely anchor your boat down, you can moor there, unless signs say otherwise.
Am totally off grid, in as far as I still have to go to water taps along the canal to fill up with water and have to buy diesel to move the boat but electricity is generated by the engine or a petrol generator, and I have a bank of batteries to store electricity. I do use electricity without thinking too hard about it and I'm never short of it! If I chose to move back to dry land, I'd probably rig up a similar system, it's cost effective - I pay about £150-200 a year for diesel and that includes using it for transportation so living in a house that doesn't move, I'd be using even less.
Best things are getting to live in different locations, being part of a great community of boaters, the low cost of living, being a bit closer to nature. I'd say the worst things is a lack of space - although you just have to reduce your personal possessions, winter isn't as bad as you'd think but there is often that bit between the coal burner going out and relighting the fire to get warm! That's mostly it. It gets easier as you spend more time on your boat and everything that may have felt like a disadvantage or a chore soon becomes just part of your everyday life. It's just how it is for me now!

Feel the void. I've completed all the exams I was preparing for, waiting for the results next week. I don't have anything to do except continuing to study but this time w/o a deadline. I have a translation project that I am negotiating w/ a publishing house, but that's a slow pace too, so this weekend will be a really chillout slow one. ATM we're enjoying a few beers w/ my cousin at a nice coast of Istanbul. IDK, I may do some coding or stuff. I should post the ~books threas today, but I might be a bit irresponsible this time round and post it a bit later today or maybe even tomorrow. I needed a general rest in my life, and I am enjoying that at this very moment.
It's not for nothing that the feeling of walking out, blinking, into the sunlight after finishing your last exam is frequently near the top of 'what is better than sex' AskReddit threads.

How do you like OpenStreetMapping? I did it just a little but then read about how I shouldn't use my "real" name (my username for everything), since it can leak info. Would you agree? I've been thinking about re-joining with a different account and mapping stuff in my spare time.

Sailing is amazing man. Especially when you’re out on the water and there’s no motor noise, just sails flapping. I’ve sailed primarily on Lake Michigan

Preparing for my bands tour this coming week! Have always wanted to do this so I'm pretty excited, taking tonight off to go see some improv and some art show but then the rest of the weekend are dedicated to music + preparation. Not a long tour, just a string of 6 days, but I am excited to just hang out with the band since this is probably the last time we will be playing gigs while we restructure our sound since we realize we are tired of the music we have been making.

My wife and I are going on a bike vacation in Denmark next week, so we'll be giving our bikes some care. They've been stowed away for almost two years at this point, and before that they'd been left out during a winter or two. It'll be interesting to see what state they're in now..
I'm also learning how to skateboard. I bought a longboard about a month ago, in an attempt to make my daily commute a bit more interesting. But I'm not yet at the point where I'm comfortable skating out in the streets, among other people. That's all right though. I'm patient. And I was fully prepared that it would take a while to learn this. You'll probably find me practicing in our building's basement parking area, which has ample space.

I have my second interview for a software internship coming up next week. The first interview was a phone call getting to know me, now I'm assuming it's going to get a bit more in depth and technical, so I'll be reviewing some programming stuff. Definitely will be hitting the weights too. I live in a very urban area, so I'm sure something or someone will end up finding me and take my time for the weekend, something always does.

The company is a salesforce consulting company that uses cloud technology. As far as the internship, I know I'll be working with cloud integration from what they mentioned, but they haven't mentioned much. I should get more details after the next interview. As far as the company, it looks like a good fit for a first internship, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Trying to keep at Blender. I'm pretty much at my worst as far as not getting things done goes, I've wasted several days staring at a screen to accomplish tasks that could be done in well under an hour, so pushing myself through is pretty tough.
I really want this, god damn it. I've made essentially no progress but I'm going to take the most basic vaguely person-like thing I can make and move on to rigging and animation. Really, I expect everything I do to be low-poly and kinda abstract (the reason I want to do this is jack stauber's help, after all) so I figure I'm better off just trying to make a finished product at all costs. I've done it over and over again but I can't stand the thought of wasting more days doing nothing, not even the leisurely things I want to do.
I appreciate this, I'm bookmarking it in case I fall back to where I was when I wrote that. Luckily I've been semi-consistently making progress since then and I just finished the animation I set...
I appreciate this, I'm bookmarking it in case I fall back to where I was when I wrote that. Luckily I've been semi-consistently making progress since then and I just finished the animation I set out to make.
My "solution" has been pretty mundane, actually. Giving myself a pre-determined amount of time to work in Blender and do nothing else, then not allowing myself to go on any longer than that. I've slipped a bit and let it drag out, but starting off like that really helped...I didn't get caught in the trap where I kept doing nothing and feeling like I should work more but not being able to.

Just waiting for my new laptop. I picked up an Acer Triton 500 on Amazon Prime Day. It went for sale on a Lightning Deal, bringing the regular price down from 1800 to 999. Too good of a deal to pass up for an i7-8750H with a RTX 2060. Especially as I'm re-enrolled in school and needed a laptop for that.
Other than that, just generic housework and yardwork. But living in Texas means that doing yardwork between the hours of 9-6, you may end up in the hospital for heat exhaustion
After three weekends of grueling lawn/garden maintenance, house maintenance, and brewing beer... I'm hoping to do nothing at all! Not likely to happen but that's the plan.

I'm moving to Silicon Valley for a year of grad school, so I'm visiting this weekend to figure out a place to live. Spent all day today looking at apartments, and I'll do the same tomorrow. Rent here is insane compared to where I've lived the rest of my life, and grad students usually aren't flush with cash. In other words, I'm drudging around at the bottom of the barrel, and that really shows for many of the these places.
However, I've found a couple of good ones from my first day, and I'm hoping to get a couple more options figured out tomorrow. It's going a little better than I expected, but going to 8 showings in a single day was pretty exhausting. Yet, traveling around the area this much is really helping me get a feel for it!

Thank you for asking! Carnegie Mellon is the school - they have a small satellite campus for electrical/computer engineering and software engineering (I'm studying the former). Planning to do a thesis on topics related to low power wide area networks (LPWAN) and/or machine learning for low power devices, like microcontrollers, i.e. Edge computing (if you like buzzwords) .
The main application areas I'd like to get into are for the sensors and communication networks of Smart Cities and large scale autonomous systems. I expect some of this to change throughout the program, but at the very least, I think I'll be doing research in some really interesting topics thay play an a notable role in tech for the next few decades.

HOPEFULLY, SLEEPING.
The last few days have been exhausting, despite the fact that I mostly hid in the kitchen, and I got nothing done. There were too many people around. They started making noise early, too, and they kept on making noise 'till late. I hate funerals. I have no idea how they are supposed to help anyone, and I refuse to participate to them. I won't even be present for mine, if I can swing it.
Also, at least one of my relatives got hit, hard, by the anti-vaxx bug - that, and the "I have no idea how vaccines work but I'll still give out my uninformed opinion to anyone in earshot" bug. The last part was, if possible, even more infuriating - how can you shit-talk vaccines if you don't even know what their mechanism of action is?Why do you even ask how many people fell victim to measles, if you are just going to ignore the answer?

I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, so I'm currently icing my face to try to keep the chipmunk look down. Luckily for me, I only had three to begin with, so bottom left is feeling quite nice compared to the right side of my face.
Other than that, I'm working on setting up my new MacBook Pro that I got for school in the fall and messing around with some side projects I've been putting off for a while, such as getting a GitHub Pages blog set up (wrote a quick post about the MacBook actually, although I don't know if anyone would actually want to read it).
Also commenting a ton on Tildes and other sites. I tend to go through phases of doing that...

i went to a picnic yesterday with some people on behalf of the volunteer organization i'm with and was supposed to go to a church cookout today, but my mom and some other people probably got food poisoning from the burgers they served at the picnic (some of them were basically raw, as one of my mom's friends had the misfortune of finding out) and so the church cookout is off the table now for obvious reasons.
for my part i basically just slept 11 consecutive hours out of exhaustion with a 10 minute interval at 5am, which is probably the longest i've slept in months, and i'll probably go back to sleep in a bit if i can because i am still tired as fuck.
I live on a narrowboat, here in the UK. As part of my licence conditions I have to move every couple of weeks. So this weekend is boat moving time. I'm moving from Leeds in West Yorkshire to Wakefield, which is a roughly 4.5 hour journey. I have 7 locks to navigate through, a water tank to fill up and a place to moor up to find.
That'll be most of Saturday I suspect!
Oh, as a point of reference, Leeds to Wakefield by car/motorbike is around 20 minutes.
Didn't even know this was a thing! What are the specs on your boat? Do you have any pictures?
There's something like 10,000 liveaboard boaters in the UK, a large chunk of them in London. My boat is 55ft long by about 7ft wide.
Here's a photo of my boat I found online.
NB Caelmiri
It's changed a bit in that I've got a bank of solar panels on the roof now and a fairly big antenna to improve my 4g reception.
Cool!
How much did it cost you (if you don't mind me asking)?
What made you decide to be a liveaboard boater? How long have you been doing so? What are the biggest drawbacks for you? What are the biggest advantages for you? Do you have to pay for the places you moor or is it like finding a parking place? Is there anything special that has to be done to get a license? What's maintenance on the boat like?

The boat cost me £34k about two years ago. I've done some work on it so it's probably worth a little more now.
