add writeup, fix formats, and add next hackday (#198)

I'm foolishly thinking I can fix our automation for the next hackday in the next 3 days.

-- Hugh started off the day in high spirits, and mused about updating a physical contraption to obey more physics laws, despite not knowing any himself. He later retretreated to the cold comfort of merely flashing hardware, realising about an hour too late that he'd been flashing the wrong piece of hardware all along.

-- Adam was updating his erstwhile golang + React micromaterial for JQ practice and decided that instead of making it a CLI tool, he would just put it on the public internet behind some websockets. It was eventually (as in, like, a day later) deduced that despite previously having held the professional title of Senior Frontend Engineer, he had forgotten all about how React actually worked, and was initialising a new websocket connection with each re-render. VERY BAD. (postscript: the thing is finally live and much less buggy). https://jkew.party

-- Joe Continued the great journey of Tiddlywiki, striving to convert us to the ways of the single page everything, but once it was clear we weren't buying, he changed not only tact but also tack and did some weird stuff with Godot and a 20-sided die.

-- Pete burst on the scene a bit later in the day, but upon hearing all of our shamefully narrow-scoped initiatives, immediately threw himself into re-implementing React, but better, and he actually made some stuff that worked. At time of writing, the status of his spin-off slimmed down React re-implementation project Peteact, is unknown.

--   Adam was trying to make a particularly nasty `jq` chain work, and in the end didn't get it working, so just removed that particular exercise from jq-pilot so it didn't matter.

 > Postscript: He eventually figured out how to make it work at a restaurant in Gatwick airport, so the original exercise is back in business...to the massive relief off all the people who have backed this project on kickstarter.
 
--   Joe did a lot of bread folding, mostly sourdough. There was also a bit of a breakthrough in the Godot dice escapade, but sure not as tasty as the bread thing.

+Although the sun did grace us mightily across the island, this was one of the better-attended hackdays in recent memory. I'm not saying that the allure of JQ-Pilot had 100% of the credit for this, but I'm also not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not saying it.

+## Things people did

+-   **Dan** took apart some headphones, attempted some soldering, melted the wrong things and gave up; then learned how to make breadboard diagrams instead.
+
+-   **Joe** added to his 3D dice roller, adding a UI to allow users to create the dice they want, refactoring the results signal to support many dice, discovering thanks to Pete that he'd massively overcomplicated his vector maths, and then getting stressed about Godot finding 36 faces on a twelve sided die.
+
+-   **Pete** had a lovely chat and then didn’t do any code, but “hacked” the wildflower meadow in his garden into some semblance of a lawn.
+
+-   **Hugh** wrote some C code that he didn't finish but he did do some fun talking about JQ and nushell and fx, so we're calling it a success anyway. The C code was meant to download some files and display them in a window in such a way that it can run without Xorg, but what actually ended up happening was that libcurl created some nice empty files and hung, which is a step in the right direction, which is all you can really ask for from C in Hugh's opinion.
+
+-   **Panda** tried to make an intentionally noise making thing less noisy with not much success.
+
+-   **Adam** Somehow tricked everyone into writing their own updates of what they worked on and then pasting that in the discord channel for him to just copy into this document and it was hashtag delicious...he also fixed a few bugs in JQ Pilot and then helped his daughter build a rocketship out of a cardboard box.
