Part of last night's dream:
Woman about dating "There's plenty of interested women, you just have to push yourself out in front of them like a piece of paper"
Me: "Hi, I'm A4, the man of your Reams" (chuckling at this point)
Also me, without skipping a beat "I'm 8 1/2 by 11 […]

Over winter I had some kind of lingering sickness where I had a constant headache, some dizziness, shortness of breath, difficulty sleeping, etc. It lasted for months, and my wife had similar problems.

Great night at the makerspace today. Collaborated on 4 projects and taught 2 people to solder. So much fun helping others.

Ordered some low effort PCBs from JLC last night.
First time using EasyEDA to do the design, and first time dreading whatever rando-tariff might get applied.
I did notice this time the shipping was $13.71 and last time it was only $1.50 - so perhaps that is to cover the import costs.
Either way […]

Hey fellow #webhosting nerds, do you have a recommendation for cheap, secure & reliable reseller accounts?
Currently using RackNerd, but there's an issue where a nefarious account on the same machine can be accessed via any domain on the machine, and this keeps getting my legit sites flagged […]

Inspired by Youtube's Patt Vira, I implemented the Reaction Diffusion algorithm in C++ on my testbed for my 64x64 matrix. Next step is to port this to my #esp32 #microcontroller and have it output directly on the #hub75e #led Matrix display.

Just finished sewing a new sling bag with a 32x18 LED matrix inside the pocket flap. The pocket flap snaps off so the matrix can be used in other designs. The #pixelblaze controller and battery fit nicely inside the front pocket

Burned 2 days chasing down a lamp problem with my #pinball machine only to finally realize that I likely caused the issue several years ago when reversing some hacked wiring.
I'll know later when I get back from walking the dog and rewire that bit properly.
