It is always nice to get feedback about our hackspace. Last night a member said "you do realise this is the best thing in our local area"

It's Tuesday so it's Social Night at the #HackSpace from 19:30 tonight. Not sure who else will be down but Nick is working on some #LARP props.

A picture of the low square Hackspace building in bright sunshine. The grass on the field looks recently mowed.

Dear New Cross Inn, in London. Why are your urinals at shin height?

LEDs wired up, may change the resistors because it's a bit brighter than I fancied. I'm going to write the sequence procedures in first and see how it looks, but it's probably too bright to be even slightly canon.

Today's project doesn't have anything to do with breaking the laws of physics.

"we" realised that my shellyEM wasn't hooked up right and fixed that, and now my rabbit companion tells me when we're feeding back to the grid and uses helpful ear waggles and colour changes to feed me status, as well as synthesising speech. Now I'm planning more shenanigans with it.

Then I got to the fun stuff, not only did I learn about using F12 functions to see what was being posted, I helped GPT understand the latest version of the API for OpenKarotz and between us configured REST commands and automations [3 of 4]

Then, one of my side projects I can never justify the brain power on, was setting up my nabaztag "karotz" which runs OpenKarotz to do useful things with HomeAssistant. First, we needed to fix my HA instance in docker, because I'd screwed that up too. [2 of...]

Over the last two weekends I've spent some wonderful time with ChatGPT repairing issues with my server. The highly technical nature of Linux was laid bare and it made tonnes of mistakes or took actions it that became a bit circular, but between "us" everything got fixed and optimised [1 of ...]

The 3D printer is such a wonderful rapid prototype tool. My plan was to mount a piece of TPU into the body to seal against the wood. But the TPU does not want to go in the hole. So time to redo this bit. I also think the base needs to be bigger.

Tonight I've modelled and made a connector for two Rutland leaf flowers. These will be the basis of a mini hovercraft. I've added a TPU ring to seal it against the body. Don't think these'll be strong enough but we will see!

Also, the hackspace new fiber laser is pretty cool. 100w's of pure metal ablation.

As long as someone can sort me out a DeLorian perhaps I can sort out some of this mess.

As Nike doesn't support my ample feet, I have to go for sports direct hiking shoes at all times. They are gortex or some sort of rip off. Much better.

I have a son who we believe is suffering from mild PDA. Wants to play 'palworld' and the PC needs updating/fixing. Is he interested in building a PC for it? Nope. Absolutely blinkered to only playing games.

My 2nd keyring of the day, but I was very impressed by the colours literally made just by heating steel until it colours.

First proper go at making a thing on the MOPA laser! It's come out very nicely.

Visited bridge command yesterday. Things got a bit chaotic and then we had the server go pop. After it came back up, we may have got our nukes a bit too close to the shuttle. Fun times.

It is entirely possible these two things are related.
