Tablesaw Cart - One Day Build! YouTube video by Ian Carey

Built a simple table saw cart for my workshop so I can move the saw around easily and use my bench as an outfeed table. Folding casters & a small shelf made it way more useful day to day.

Trying a bit of short form content at the moment while we do some DIY on our new home, what do you guys think?

Incredible Aurora over Wicklow tonight, never seen anything like it

From the motherland, my hand written birth certificate has my middle name filled in and it is as it now appears on all my formal ids, the trick is just fill in your first name(s) with a space, if you put in a hyphen, you are a prod, soz

Veg Box Shelves & Workbench! YouTube video by Ian Carey

Over the xmas period, I had loads of free time, so I worked on my workshop renovations every spare minute I had. I built these storage shelves and workbench, it's really starting to come together now!

Finished up this rolling workbench with storage today, very happy with how they turned out!

My missus just did the same, and I 100% agree with you, also hello from Ireland, long time, fan first time parasocial engager, feels about as weird as I expected, apparently none of us are immune…

This is also my first official year getting all of the stars, either during the event or in doing it after the fact, so that's a good win!

Well that's a wrap for Advent of Code 2025, honestly I am really happy with this new format, I now feel free for the rest of the month, big thanks to @was.tl for this year, and all years really! Also a shoutout to the mods over on the subreddit who do great work.

Day 12: Well, that was disappointing! In one way I'm happy it wasn't the hard thing, but on the other hand, I'm so disappointed it was the easy thing!

Day 11: Second last day! This one should have been some respite after the last two day, but I made a bunch of stupid mistakes that ended up messing me up, got there in the end and it was totally fine!

github.com/careyi3/aoc/...

#adventofcode #programming #maker #making

Okay, so I rewrote my part 1 using BFS, worked a treat, then I tried it for the Part 2, no dice... Reading Reddit, it seems lots of people caught that part two is a linear programming problem and can be solved easily with a library, so I went and did some learning and got an answer, not satisfied!

Day 10: Very much defeated by today, part 1, we got these eventually, but part 2 is not happening for me! Oh well, streak is broken for this year! Let's see what tomorrow holds...

#adventofcode #maker #making #programming

Okay, I then thought about it for 30 more seconds and a quick optimisation has me down to 2ms for part 1, 70ms for part 2, I'm done :joy: Can't believe I banged me head for hours on this!

Day 9: Damn, this one killed me today, I spent way too long overthinking this, tried a raycasting algo, but the data set is just too big... Then I did something way easier after hours of struggle and it worked... but it's slow!

Day 8: Well, I was super busy today, and just my luck it was the spicest day yet! A fairly big step up in complexity today, I also thought it was cheeky that the sample answers he gave were a different ask to the real answer!

Advent of Code 2025 Day 7 visualisation, DFS go brrrrr

Day 7: I enjoyed today, fun recursively walking a tree, with caching to the rescue for part 2!

Day 6: Purely an exercise in parsing text... Not something I'm very fond of in Rust! Bsy day today, but found the time to sit down and write some grindy code to get it done.

Advent of Code 2025 Day 4 visualisation written in Rust WASM, working on a small framework to do more than just grids atm, lots of fun!

#adventofcode #rust #programming #maker #making

Day 5: Fun one today, I'm certain almost this exact type of problem came up before, reducing and combining ranges, took me a minute to draw out te combinations for part 2, but we got there!

Day 4: Easier puzzle today, I was wondering when we would see our first grid type one! Simple enhancement on part 1 solves part 2 very easily.

#adventofcode #programming #rust #maker #making

Day 3: Little bit of a head scratcher, part 2 had the classic, "and now do it for a much larger number", got to a nice solution in the end!

Part 1: ~120us
Part 2: ~300us

Day 2 done, I couldn't come up with a nice way to do part 2, so I just wrote something to get the job done!

Here ya go: github.com/careyi3/aoc/...

The most wonderful time of the year has started! Yes, that's right, Advent of Code is back!

D1 was fun, I'm not sure if it was harder than previous years, but with only 12 this year, I guess it's going to ramp faster!
