* With the spikes of gasoline prices, I have developed a tiny program that find the station with best gasoline prices close to my position. This might become a public website in the future

* I have mostly automated my mailing list: I save the links in Raindrop, save to Notion, write a bit of text, and send through Buttondown. It’s still work in progress, but it works nicely.

* To fronting vaccine booking for my parents, I wrote a script that check if the vaccine was open for their age group.

* When I moved to my new house, there was some technical problems to activate my ADSL (the telecom company need to dig into the street and it was planned, but not scheduled). Then I wrote a scraper that every 2 hours check on the website if my address was available for a new ADSL line.

* My wife is working on property management. For law enforcement, at the end of the month, they need to send details about guests to police. It’s a tedious activity to make by hand because you need to fill up a form for every guest. So, my wife has prepared a form in Airtable that the guests must fill up with all the information needed; then I wrote a Lambda function that at the end of the month, get the data from Airtable, generate a file in the format for bulk upload and send it to my wife via email. I saved her hours.
