#LongBoi

Today in compositor composting, a very loooong cat...

#linux #hyprland #wayland #composting #compositor #longCat #longboi

Photo of a laptop screen which has been rotated from landscape to portrait mode. Hyprland got a bit muddled and decided to stretch the base of the desktop background image to fill the additional space which has suddenly become available. The background image is a squishy robotic cat staring upwards at moodily lit ceiling lights, so the cat has unexpectedly become a a longcat - perhaps even a longboi.

I just received a glow-in-the-dark longboi from Makeship!

AND IT'S CUUUUUTE!

#plush #dragon #longboi #makeship

A photo of the snout of the longboi plush (an about 50cm long black and green dragon). It's really near to the camera, like it's about to say: "You've got games on your phone?".

Good news: I got the students union to do a thing!

Bad news: That thing was to take the #longboi statue down ;-;

His legs were starting to shatter, he was gonna fall over...

One of the statues legs, with cracks running most of the way through.

The other leg, with a single large crack running most of the way through.

I'm not entirely sure there was any material left on this side.

And we have to keep going as that only got us to June... We have summer to now to finish up...

Recently (a few weeks ago) the Longboi statue was officially unveiled... Live on BBC Radio... I love that a visual art piece was unveiled on that famously visual medium: radio...

#LongBoi #LongBoiology

July sees Longboi facing to the right and themed around cycles (gears?)

Cycles (Gina Gong, Kayla McCarty and the Ezer Lab)

"From night to day: Tessellations on vinyl with paint depicting the lifecycle of Arabidopsis thaliana with a vertical farm, against a backdrop of night, day and the twilight transition in between. Collaborations with industrial partners such as vertical farms improve our understanding of genes and plant development to support a more sustainable food system."

August, he's back to facing left...

Rare Diseases (Gonzalo Blanco)

"A unique individual: Long Boi was shaped by his environment and his genetics. The impact of a single rare disease on the general population may seem low, but collectively our 7,000+ identified rare diseases affect 1 in 17 individuals and their families."

September sees a move to darker green backgrounds (possibly, I am colourblind)

Plants and Metals (Liz Rylott, Paulina Dani, Anthony Jones, Jess Dobson and Ben Bruce)

"Long Boi Bling: Gold leaf, coloured foil and giant ball bearings present a new way to look at plants that take up metal. Research into how plants can recover valuable metals and remediate polluted sites leads to improved biodiversity, soil and human health."

Finally... With less than a week of October left, we come to the horrifying calendar page as LongBoi looks out to the right over...

Life and Death (Katie Noble, Helen Mylne, Shuyu Deng and Joshua Sammy)

"It comes to us all: A commentary on the future of food, searching for a solution through discussion and policy change, to address the challenges to the planet and people posed by unequal access to, and heavy industrialisation of, food production."

Hmmm... I did really badly at updating my calendar this year didn't I... Just went to check and I did update to March but then kinda stalled...

#LongBoi #LongBoiology

March is Bioversity (Joshua Sammy, Helen Mylne and Shuyu Deng)

"Biodiversity in the Anthropocene: Art styles representing human art and culture at the time of species extinction or appearance in the biodiversity records. From mammoth cave painting to dead frog emoji, the life sciences are an interdisciplinary endeavour that connects to all aspects of human life"

Our Longboi silhouette faces left and features a timeline of artistic styles as described vaguely above

April's Longboi is "Life on Earth" (Shuyu Deng and Helen Mylne)

"Planet Earth: a jigsaw of land use whose different rates of change affect species distributions over time. It's not just populations that change over time, but also behaviours, social networks and pathways over the landscape."

You guessed it - jigsaw pieces cover our Longboi silouhette

May's Longboi silhouette faces right and is covered by large scale algae cells sort of triangularish...

Diatoms (Veronica Ongaro)

"Invisible and aquatic: Unicellular algae encapsulated in a transparent class case of silica dioxide and decorated with intricate patterns. The photosynthetic phytoplankton are impossible to see with the naked eye, but are essential for life on planet Earth"

June's Longboi is also facing right and covered with microscopic cell pictures...

GenerationResearch (Bea Rix with Jillian Barlow and the GenRes Team)

"Microscopic World: Confocal microscopy showing the structure of cells in fine detail in beautiful fluorescent colours. GenerationResearch.ac.uk provides paid research and technical experiences with a focus on widening access and inclusion for students across Yorkshire"
