Yesterday was the [International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Day_of_the_World%27s_Indigenous_Peoples), which has the virtue of being extremely precise in what it wants to be about and isn't trying to sell something.

Anyway, this week was relatively light work, overall, because I had other responsibilities to take care of.
## Entropy Arbitrage
The [Ham Newsletter](https://github.com/jcolag/ham-newsletter) code should now be stable enough to work for people...assuming that those people use the same services I do, at least, and unless there are bugs. If you have all the credentials set up, you should get a newsletter with some header content, a list of blog posts, saved articles from the RSS feed, and recent browser bookmarks. Well, you'll get that *usually*. I don't have any error checking, so some visual inspection is warranted before sending, since sometimes the services just silently reject a request; which you'll notice I didn't bother to do for my first newsletter. Oops...
## Non-Projects
I added some additional sample code to my [Small Things](https://github.com/jcolag/SmallThings) repository. It's mostly for proof-of-concept/test code that eventually gets wrapped into another project, rarely useful except as a historical record.
In this batch, it includes some hacky code to simulate color-blindness on colors, written a while ago when putting together my [post on color]({% post_url 2020-03-11-colors %}), a failed attempt to determine where the Sun is in the sky, and a non-melodic mess to make sure I understood how [Alda](https://alda.io/) works.
And the rest of the week mostly went to checking out and merging those little dependency/library updates for different projects.
## Next
I may continue on with the library updates to clear out that queue of annoyance. I also want to set up a pull request for [**Manuel, the Magnificent Mechanical Man**]({% post_url 2020-07-11-manuel %}), since I reflexively fixed some typos as I read it for the Free Culture Book Club.
With any time remaining (which may not be much), it's probably worth going back to [**Uxuyu**](https://github.com/jcolag/Uxuyu). In addition to the issues I've mentioned in the past that I should probably nail down, there seems to be a rough standard emerging for storing avatars that might not be *too* painful to adapt.
