In already chilly Fairbanks, this winter is one for the record books Even the heartiest of Fairbanks sourdoughs are struggling to remember a winter as cold and snowy.

Our pellet stove control board is complaining about a pressure valve and won't fire this week.

Serviced last year with motors replaced, so I've got a suspicion the fine box or somewhere in that neighborhood is full of shavings, and/or the exhaust is clogged...

Shouts to the homies for making the big move to DC to improve the lives of Alaskans by ... posting war mongering Facebook posts.

β€’ No personalization algorithms, or advertising for any minor.

β€’ Requires social media co's to KYC + written parental consent. 1 Billion IDs were compromised via a KYC database leak...last week.

β€’ The definition of 'user' is incongruent with account owner/access. seems important?

Don't forget to purchase your Alaska State Voter Rolls today so that you can purchase them again next month to see which voters were marked inactive/removed due to list maintenance.

Public Records do not become Public Information until someone does the work.

The Alaska Reads Act was sponsored by Tom Begich, the leading Democratic party candidate for governor.

It increased BSA funding by $30, or 0.5%.

The only party that can turn it around is running the dude who helped make this mess?

lmao. That sucks.

Transcribing legislative hearings is really cutting into my VR Flight sim time.

Crashed on final to Skagway tonight. All of this bureaucratic bullshit is standing in the way of my dreams.

Publishing as a native iOS/android is upside down on my cost benefitd.

I could take a crack at refactoring it as a PWA so it can install as an app in Safari/chrome on mobile this weekend.

Summarizing pipeline did pretty good yesterday. Only missed 1.

Processing times tanked because I was going off of start times and botched sequencing there πŸ™„

Dropped in an auto scheduler. Will tighten it up a bit tomorrow.

It can't parse task forces yet, that should be fixed this weekend.

Are you struggling to stay up to date because your calendar is actually a png of a PDF of a PowerPoint from an akleg intern?

No worries! We here at Will Muldoon have achieved some amazing breakthroughs. Our Calendar is always current and ready to work with yours!

Rep. Nick Begich is highlighting Norann Kriner as part of Trump's success story in Alaska.

Her business has been for sale for >90d and recently saw a 10% price reduction. She's been very public about wanting to retire for years.

What are we doing?

β€’ We can spell Wielechowski (most of the time.) Same for Kiehl.
β€’ We still think Senator Rauscher is a Representative.
β€’ Teresa Obermayer was identified and thanked by the chair. (She will sometimes skip introduction or get admonished for breaking order, which causes the LLM to hiccup).

Progress!

Sen. Sullivan supports Juneau as the Capital in his own little folksy way is all that I'm reading from this.

β€’ I'm working on spelling corrections, but it's very much a WiP.
β€’akleg.willmuldoon.com/calendar/ is staying the same. folks are already using it.
β€’ Filing my ethics disclosures tomorrow to reserve the ability for future research/work in this arena.
β€’ Will get an about blurb up.

Alaska Legislature Meeting Summaries

So the plan for tomorrow is to let my batch processor run fully autonomously and push to akleg.willmuldoon.com.

Going to try to have every hearing from this year online before bed tonight.

We should see meetings within 1hr of adjournment. I'm working til 6ish so we'll all find out together. #akleg

Something I'm confused about:

All of the FB discussion groups in Fairbanks are ran by the immediate family of elected officials. They both seed and feed legislative business.

It's extremely unethical. objectively. the dickhead tree is ripe.

Won't let the #akleg homies down! 🫑

I left the frontend in a proof-of-concept stage recently, but I turned the batch processor back on, and will update the frontend to be a bit easier. Calendar will remain the same since folks are already using that one.

I'll consider Monday 8am as go-live.

South Franklin Street in Juneau back when you could get a hotdog from Trish and drink beer in the pit at 3am.
