Operations
I structured all scenes I had in Airtable into one text document with 6 chapters. Then I wrote the outline of the first chapter and a draft. After talking to illustrator, I edited the first chapter and also added explanations of the plot, characters, style to the document.
Consulted illustrator about clarity of the first chapter's draft, so that it can be translated to comics.
Co-facilitated a call on Zoom for 17 members from 14 countries:
Lithuania, Colombia, Argentina, Sweden, Poland, Ireland/Belgium, Kenya, Sakha Republic, UK, US, Germany, Canada, Mexico, South Africa
Ok. So, I wrote this question on Bitcoin talk, and now, I nearly downloaded entire its blockchain. I'm thinking: I'll try to compute it, publish an article somewhere, for example on Bitcoin magazine, and link it to Slashdot, and others, so that market analysts start questioning it, all realizing that this thing is real (oh, hoarders can't hide it). Expectedly -- this new reality will shift the expectations of market analysts, starting to worry about the future of its price, and start all computing their time-complexities in all of their crypto-wallets, to see what they actually got :)
The result here will be a few hundred gits on my disk, and next up, I'm going to write some ETL code, which I'll link here.
I hosted a focus group at Living Systems Collaboratory about a link between sciences and spirituality.
Converting Airtable storyboard into comics layout on Google Slides by stage in the hero's journey, so that I can see what goes into each page of comics and easier decide where one chapter finishes and next one starts

Added specific principles/ideas of Living Systems linked with specific thinkers and subjects to cover in the book as spells a character needs to learn to transform itself and feel co-existence.
Uploaded a video to Vimeo and updated Wordpress with a link to Vimeo and illustrators names, added small changes to spells.
Updated WordPress website with hexagon .png files that showcase how my book will look like.
Created a design of how my book will look like as 6 chapters, all shaped like hexagons, 1 empty chapter in the middle; comics divided into a hexagon shape too with space for reflection for a reader.
I'm so happy I found a way to prototype hexagons super-fast with Google Slides (downloading each slide as .png file) and Lunapic (making a transparent background for .png). :)
Created a google doc that summarises 0oo and key challenges in simple words, includes feedback from 5 on 0oo usability and next steps for collaboration during BFI Trimtab Spacecamp.
Made a short explanation video ⇡ on buying mode on 0oo market, and optionality of buying for transfer of money, or for coownership of results.
Talked with Saydyy (illustrator), reviewed the main ideas, the video, current scenes, and agreed the book design (6 chapters, 1 chapter blank, 67 pages each, 90 g paper) and how all chapters will be showcasing the same characters in black/white comics+colouring book design.
My next steps are to summarise existing 18 scenes into what goes to the first chapter ("who is protagonist? antagonist? dialogue script/narration?") and overall 6 chapters, so that Saydyy could sketch out what's possible to produce for March.
2 hours of designing. Some notes:
A few notes: 1. I kept the color palette similar to what is already being used but I just made the colors more trendy and friendly. 2. Added a header that gives an intro to zero to infinity. 3. I added contextual subheading to each type of information (project, questions, ideas) 4. Got rid of what I felt was unnecessary info or things that aren't usable yet. 5. The color palette contains a dark color for body type and a light color for header type. 6. Let me know if you'd like details on font selection. 7. Also made a logo that has a bit more storytelling, and character.
Talked to Malü (illustrator) about the idea of 6 chapters made with different illustrators who form a "tribe" through this collaboration. Reviewed the video, scenes. She suggested to launch Kickstarter in March with clear milestones, e.g. $x for illustrators, $x for production, $x for y and create a list of offers (what different contributors get). Also, suggested to sketch out what will be in each chapter and/or write a script, so that it's easier for illustrators to create comics.
Improved loading speed, by adding .has_math
to all content types, allowing to know, when to load MathJax, making pages that do not require math support load faster. Also, enabled gzip compression (should have done long ago).
The page 0oo.li/data now provides database download with a comprehensive description of the tables. Currently added Lithuanian, English, Chinese descriptions.
So, we can invite a little more people, without fear that site would slow down because of blocking nature of SQLite. Now, we are on PostgreSQL. However, writes could be faster. Should I move to a new machine? :)
Co-facilitated a call on Zoom with breakout rooms for new and existing members (12 members from 12 countries)
Learning to setup LearnDash for WordPress on my website that shows a course structure and a registration form for students.
Made an outline of the first course about web design for beginners.
These votes were all for different comment models. There are a number of things still desired for future:
- Fix the bug of heart color state management after adding or changing vote, then hovering over options.
- The comment should react immediately, without loader.
- Ruta's suggestion about question mark approach.
However, for now, can check out video in the link, how the votes they work.

Made an interactive map for pinning our members locations on Google Maps
Wrote a short story draft where Plant, Bacteria, Body characters are interacting during Christmas dinner, sketched a comic draft and wrote description of the scene into Airtable
Created a form on Airtable and embedded it to our website
Added the operations and conversations histories on the home page, so it is possible to review past comments and works in sequence.
Based on feedback I got through 3 calls with potential readers, I updated my book's website:
Added a new homepage that explains the purpose of the book
Replaced testimonials with benefits (self-help jokes, basics of science, not facts but laughs, comics as colouring book, reflection prompts, fits any pocket)
New layout for book pages (anecdotes, cartoon for colouring area, reflection prompts)
Started to think what are the spells that a character needs to learn to friend the creative energy
Added light color-coding to listings under questions, ideas, projects, to distinguish the content types. See video link ⇡ for details.
Updated website to reflect what the book is about - personal transformation and living systems, not just biomimicry like I had on the website V1
Uploaded a book cover as a photo with desired testimonials
Listed characters and three quotes/fragments from the book
Wrote a sinopsis of what my book is about and created about/why section
Over the couple of days, had tried to look for the kind of shapes that I'd like. The result is the fully parametrizable scalable shape, inspired by the beehive cell. Will update later, when there are more detailed results, like that of mechanism or interior design.
Let's explore the galaxies together, with a mission to let the diverse types of discovered life along the way to reach their full positive potentials. Greetings from the Zero to Infinity project. :) ( https://0oo.li )
Adding math formulas is now possible, like so: $$f(x)={\frac {1}{\sigma {\sqrt {2\pi }}}}e^{-{\frac {1}{2}}\left({\frac {x-\mu }{\sigma }}\right)^{2}}$$ The Markdown syntax has been supported on 0oo for a long time, but there were problems with them in translations. Fixed both of these issues.
Made a basic WordPress website about my project.
Chosen black, white, red as key brand colours that communicate a depth of personal transformation and light that always gives hope in times of uncertainty.
Chosen Rufina font for headlines as it relates to Serif font used in books, and Roboto Slab font for paragraphs as it feels like a difficult font which reflects a journey of personal transformation that my project brand is about.
Added support for flexible way for projects to register their contributions coming over various channels, so as to enable public tracking of multi-stakeholder, multi-ledger, multi-currency projects. (subtasks log)
working with a low-end smart watch with oximeter capabilities. At the same token, wrote a letter to the manufacturers/distributors of the device.
Created a community reader at 0oo.li/io, so we can read external sources in a form that makes it easy organize and reshare to 0oo for deliberation.
For the first time user to understand what's going on, had modified /welcome page, for it to more clear, styled add Question/Idea/Project buttons and search fields in homepage.
I've added a simple CSS-only chrome extension, to enable anyone to try out talking in EL. This has a limitation of mixing in English though, and a JS-based solution may be needed as a further improvement.
Created and packaged experimental python script to translate YAML with keys defined using concept IDs of concept dictionaries, like WikiData.
Wrote and published a paper (pre-print), named "Big Picture for Everyone: The relationship between the equation model and base vectors for mapping human semantic space."
