Reusing bits of the old cupboard from this back bedroom to build up storage around my desk... Only now discovering how not flat the walls are... Or the floor!

Getting that cabinet repaired and then back up took far more effort than it should have! New fridge will go into the space on the left!

Today I went to pick a fridge for the new place! I was in Currys for over 3 hours D: 1 I found it really hard to settle on a fridge and 2. The first 2 firdges I settled on were out of stock for the next few weeks. And I move next Saturday! My third choice... Well. It's deeper than I want it to

I've actually got a real bee in my bonnet with corridor crews latest video. Not only their choice of sponsorship. But damn Sam in this latest VFX artists react... His attitude seriously stank! Specifically around the discussion of Dragon Heart. His nose couldn't have been more turned up.

Holy crap, Reddit really is a hive of scum and villainy! I make a post about corridor crews continued sponsorship of cashapp. And someone tryed to get my account swatted my Reddit mods and well fair staff... Wtf is wrong with people.

I posted it on my personal account already but damn. Was gutted to read the news of Sam Neill this morning. Easily one of my fav actors through my life. As a kid I think Jurassic park was my obvious introduction to him. Everything I've seen him in. Even some cheesy movies he's always brought such

Finally managed to watch Project Hail Mary... Wow... That was genuinely an amazing movie! What a wild ride of emotions! Just stunning!

Well this is fucked ... Actually makes me less keen on the UK rejoining the EU...

First room insulated! That took me about 5 or 6 hours!

So much work to do!

So 2 Fridays ago I bought a house! Since then it's had all it's ceilings ripped out because of asbestos! And about to get new boards and plaster done... This work was unexpected and utterly broken my workshop budget. No idea when I'll be able to save enough to build it. It's also triggered a domino

I wouldnt normally call this out here, but it really needs more people shouting about this... Corridor Crew I love you guys, but you need to drop Cashapp like a bar of nuclear material and run. Payday loan sharks like this are utterly predatory, why the hell are you accepting sponsorship by them!?

Sooo.... What was the point of Punisher: One Last Kill? I watched it and.... Nothing. I couldn't get the point of it. It also simply feels incomplete. Theres little to no plot other than what we know, Frank Castle is not a well dude... It was a utterly meaningless affair with no climax.

Remember folks, if buying isn’t ownership, piracy isn’t theft.

Just watched Mortal Kombat 2 movie.... That was certainly... A movie! Stupid yet enjoyable.

You can buy potted bamboo at IKEA btw

3d and silks sorted... I also had to correct a mistake with the gpio expander being on the wrong foot print :p oops

So you know that Lcars door panel that I said would be easy to make... Well just finished routing for the main display controller. Just needs to tidy silks and fix 3D models.

youtu.be/nHbA2-_qzH4 This is so exceptionally cool!

I think chatgpt is having a stroke!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Xmas special cancelled and BBC shopping for a new production company... So that means RTD and Badwolf is out. Cant say I'm surprised. I just hope who ever takes over still uses Billie even if its a one off special. Im not surprised on multiple levels.

3 years in the waiting. And sent to the wrong address. I had to go grab it from the new house (not moved yet) And thought it might never happen. But finally here. Final Space Ends!

youtu.be/j5oyVNjrUPI And so here we are! I called BS on day on... but this fills in all the details

In between packing bits for the upcoming move. I'm also looking into this lcars door entry project I'm now toying with... Discovered some issues. First the display nearly takes all the esp32 gpio. So going to need to get a little creative. But also now need to think about a suitable solid door, and

from the Nescafe Man to Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Anthony Head had range

Oh come on man. Can't we have a fucking break! I've had a shitty day already and this just is the cherry on top. :( www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It might be a small gesture, but spread it far and wide, Sign the petition. Even if Amazon dont listen, let the creators know we wanted to see their show! c.org/CQKbnNLD69 We the fans WANTED this show!

The 3d scanner is proving to be fairly disappointing... So much so i might even send it back. It's just not doing a great job. :/

www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/... That's a cool explosion!

Oh lord! 😂 youtu.be/BQJHxH4ygg4?...

New toy!

Uuughhh put in a large order for our final preproduction PCB verification before going to full production run. And! PCB fab has come up with a bunch of out of stock diodes ... All NXP TVs and static protection... Were all in stock last Nov/Dec. Now not. And no lead times for when they're back.

Also moved over to esp32 idf from Arduino... And codex has broken the entire audio system. I really don't know why I even bother with it... Ok mainly because work wants me to use it more. But heck it's just bad.and it just wastes so many tokens doing down wild goose chases...

In 2022 when Christian Henson of Spitfire Audio came out in support of JK Rowling and Glinner, I did a video on how that hurt the trans community and beyond. Now it's 2026 and I felt the need to revisit it, because apathy keeps winning, and it sucks www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrlS...

Some good news for those on my Patreon, after saving up for well over a year with the support I get from there. I have now made enough to purchase a decent 3D scanner. I've grabbed a Revopoint MetroX PRO for about £850. For those who have been waiting for it, one of the first things I will scan 1/

Resin printing is AWESOME but it can be DANGEROUS if done incorrectly. And one of the things you want to avoid is printing in a tiny room with no ventilation. ☠️ Then what do you do if want to resin print? Invent something to make it safe. Or borrow from me. 😉 github.com/katzcreates/...

Terror! :(

So I was also thinking about this lcars door entry system. To make it secure you can't just have the door lock circuit exposed to the front panel. Or it can be smashed and hotwired. So I was thinking the esp32 host could be on the front panel with the LCD. And the lock device controller

Sometimes I genuinely wish I didn't have a job... After needing one for so long. Sure I'm financially stable now but I have so little time to work on my own projects now and I really hate it! There are so many things I want to work on and build!

bad thoughts coming into my head... Like more projects. Like a LCARS door panel.... thats actually the code entry to my new workshop ill be building soon!

Not perfect and still has issues. Also not looking identical to the actual winamp playback of this file.... But it is some what functioning now... I think there's still some what to do but... It's nearly there.

Time for bed.. Got bit map draws working now need to write the spectrum analyser widget properly... Currently it's on spi. But when I make the hardware proper it'll be parallel. I'm drawing to a framebuffer before writing to the screen. Can clearly see draw lag...

I've started on this bs now :o The display aspect ratio is a fraction out. But I'll make it work!

Fuck off!

I tried some "vibe coding" again for this winamp project trying to make the audio handling and decoding part of the program. And what it's created is a over the top converluted mess that's near on impossible to follow... I hate it! In fairness it did make the FFT code for me. I have NO idea how

Heres something thats bugged me for a while *CW rant incoming* Big youtubers getting massive sponsorships for equipment, esp when they can easily afford to buy said equipment. Just saw L1Techs video kitting out a massive YT Chef guy. With 10s of grands worth of equipment. Just given to him. 1/

@mks.bsky.social Just found you! Saw youtu.be/Mt-Tr3I5RSI Amazing work guys.... Id really love to talk. Can you dm me?

Watching random restoration video and suddenly @jjbbllkk.bsky.social music starts playing... and I smile :D
