Submitted v 2.0.0 of my #rstats janitor 📦 to CRAN! Now hoping it passes all checks and is accepted.
Big milestone. I'd said I didn't have time for this project, that it was done, that I wanted to focus on other things. And yet there is a lot of good, thoughtful functionality added in this major revision!
glad someone else is trying it so I don't have to wonder <brushes hands together, goes to bed>
@openscience do you know of folks tooting about #rstats on Masto? I'm glad to be off Twitter but the #rstats hashtag is what I miss most. Would love to build that community up here.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk:
😉
Folks working on open source, with strangers, for the fun of it and because it can help so many other strangers, is heart-warming.
Humans aren't driven by competition and individualism. That's a lie! We got this far by cooperation and altruism and we need them more than ever to keep going now.
This was made possible by contributors, folks I've never met. The in-depth, trusting collaboration between people who have never spoken or even communicated outside of GitHub continues to amaze me.
In particular Bill Denney has been amazing, he writes flawless code that I could only dream about and is patient with my hot-then-cold attention to this project. He's busy with work, family, and yet finds time to work on janitor.

Anyone have a quinoa recipe they like? Vegetarian plz, or if not I can probably adapt it.
Can't get too cocky though -- I thought I was done, then ran a reverse dependency check and found failing tests in *someone else's* package that revealed problems in mine. Without that I would have released it with errors.
Which is why I'm patching bugs while the baby naps 🏃♂️
Prepping for a major release (v 2.0.0) of my #rstats package janitor. Lots of changes already in master on GitHub.
Hit 600 unit tests -- and they're all passing! 🎉
As I dug up the grass, I found buried in the earth a cheap plastic tomato plant marker and a nice, metal "parsley" marker. This was a vegetable garden before it got turned into grass 🤯 We agreed this means we must plant parsley there and use that marker.
Good omens.
Permaculture-in-my-yard updates:
- Dug a big hole for my hugelkultur mound, started filling it with rotten logs I foraged from a neighbor's pile. [photo attached]
- Acquired a gooseberry plant and several red currants from a friend, via bicycle obv. (both kids biked the whole 4-miles-total trip!)
Anyone tried out Jitsi, an open-source alternative to Zoom et al?
Maxence Cyrin's piano version of the Pixies' "Where is my mind"

Maybe I'll watch tonight
Refactoring old code from my #rstats janitor package and enjoyed seeing this old comment from myself
Happy with my attempt at #sashiko. The real test is when my user (wife) puts them on.
Today I read about Shashiko, Japanese functional embroidery, and planned and pinned my first piece. Tomorrow I'm taking a shot at my first piece, repairing my wife's bluejeans!
spent the day working to the 🎶 of @stevekemsley, find him on Spotify or wherever under the name Menevado. Music to live and chill by 👍
