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.

Bought some new HUB75E panels and the colors are noticeably yellower (warmer) than any other panels I have.

Found an old Thomas Guide from 25 years ago with a subtle red dot where my office was at #microsoft (Building 43).
Crazy to think how we used to have to look things up if we wanted to get somewhere, and pencil in new construction or places of interest.

Had a quick check on BSky and a bunch of "people" followed me. Not a single one has any posts but they all seem to have a lot of followers and are following a lot of people. The names don't seem to match the avatars either.
