Pivoting from Money on the Dash to Kenya Grace's _Strangers_ in a half-assed attempt to force the head-tunes off repeat. Bold move, Cotton.

Having a Hal morning here today, but in the best way. Wanting to get underway with some electronics projects, had this kickstart'ed mobile soldering station that needed building. Overall, can't complain! Having an extractor fan that lives with the station […] [Original post on corteximplant.com]

Worked my little booty off the last few days so that today could be spent playing with a soldering iron relatively guilt-free. But first, to build the new soldering station.

Ordered some RJ11 jacks on SIP carrier boards for prototyping, but all of my RJ11 cables are in use for the modem pool. Damn it. :bec_grin:

Scored a $150 video scaler for $15 at the state surplus store today. Score! A little late for #DOSCember, but we'll celebrate by streaming some DOS games anyways :bec_grin:

Finally, a mess of RGB SCART cables has arrived. Let's get funky with the OSSC and some retro consoles. #retrogaming #scart #ossc

Who decided that double texting is bad? Somebody weird, I bet you.

You may be entitled to special dispensation.

tbf I also need instructions phrased in a posiaffirmative delivery frame lest I become sneaky and nefarious and decide to be oppositionally defiant

Not being able to edit a post to be followers-only after the fact is horseshit. Like, yeah, 'the genie is out of the bottle' and whatever with respect to federation, but a person should at least be able to ask the software on their home instance to not publicly index it.

There's something really nice about wide-collared shirts that can dangle off a shoulder. Gosh, it's nice.

Was trying to figure out what the groaning and grumbling sound outside was. Took my headphones off, and it's my own stomach :bec_huh:

Eepy eti, nini fedi 💤

Having a slightly harder time with "I" statements this last week or so. Mostly powering through it, not a huge issue. It'll pass. Friend said "you type like mordin solus talks sometimes" Not sure whether it's hilarious or offensive. :bec_grin:

[food/alc mention+] Schnitzel and spätlese on this fine Sunday afternoon. Things could be worse.

Hey, you, reader: Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!" Consider _telling them_! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've […]

One of the lights in the office is flickering. Naturally, it's the one above my desk.

Tinkering with the dreamcast in unconventional ways is leading to a want to write software for the damn thing. First fedi client? :bec_wink:

Continuing in unrelentingly deep nerd topics: Let's bake support for launching directly into #lucybz IRC straight into the VMU! #hexeditor #dreamcast #vmu #lucybz#hexeditor#dreamcast#vmu#irc

My kingdom for a 1/8" TRSM to RCAF pigtail.

If it had been known that that picture was going to be so popular, would have actually found the composite cable and taken a better picture. On the other hand, there is something charming about the imperfection of the RF route.

Join IRC. For the Aesthetic. :bec_wink: #irc #lucybz #cortextimplant #dreamcast #planetweb

The late night crew is _so back_ over at https://lucy.bz. :corteximplant_b: chooms, get back in on that IRC goodness :bec_grin:

Late-night fucking around with VRChat. Someone made up a HÖR world! #vrc #vrchat #hörberlin #hör #va11halla #jillstringray

There's something neat about seeing something in public from a person you know [of], even if only peripherally. But there's something _really really cool_ about seeing something in the real world that was made by a fedi local. It's moving in a way […] [Original post on corteximplant.com]

[Food+] Gods, but a piping hot baker with chives sets the stage for a great afternoon.

There's something really nice about just sharing space in the rain. Even over the internet, even if you're lying to your own brain about the rain. Sometimes we spin up a coworking/body-doubling voice call and put the bot on to rain recordings. People are mostly quiet, doing their own thing, but […]

What percent of time on the clock does a modern tech company CEO spend overtly lying through their teeth? Is it tied to performance?

Ughhhh, one of the presenters adjusted his mic pack during the break after a tech got him set up. Now the antenna is touching skin and occasionally cutting out and editing it is gonna be annoying and ugh.

Touring one of our remote facilities today while they have the town hall going on. Massive 12-panel corporate jumbotron that takes a quarter rack of AV gear to run, and we're still opening livestreams in a windowed-mode browser. Hyep, gonna take a stroll to the local coffee place now. Maybe […]

Changed my ringtone to a SSTV preamble. This will surely not get annoying :bec_grin:

That's _professional_ spookybitch to you.

Oof, lost a follower for that little in-joke. That's a shame :bec_huh:

Into: napping (everything to do with it)

Briefly sad this morning for what became of Sun Microsystems.

It is a morning for moka ☕

Having the _weirdest_ want for a mid-2000s fedi/ap-capable myspace clone. It's the nostalgia, but still.

Whyyyyyy is Krita trying to open CSVs what is happening :bec_huh:

Can one have too many fedi accounts? 🤔

The evening was shaping up to play some gay robot visual novels, but the evening is quickly running out of evening. :bec_sigh:

Haaaaaate stream[er]s that have 'jumpscare redeems' that keep the full volume on the viewer side. Haaaaate.

This just in: Kenku continues to be my absolute favorite D&D race to play. But a Kenku as an Arcane Trickster? It's almost unfair. #dnd #dnd5e #dungeonsAndDragons

Almost a decade of ungraceful flopping into this computer chair has lead to its inevitable demise this afternoon, shortly before the concluding session of D&D in this campaign. Ooopsie :bec_smug:

Hnnngh. Social anxiety is stupid, and separately, feelings are fragile and stupid, too. This indisputable eloquence brought to you live by the letter H.

[emotions, sleep] Gosh my emotions sway so much more wildly towards the extremes on too-little sleep. This has been noticed before, but it's particularly evident today.

Went to bed waaaay too late for having to get up at 3:30 this morning. And yes, that's bad, and it will probably lead to a very eepy ety today, but have you considered: ⭐ internet lego game with friends makes for a great evening 🌟

Also, good morning, lovelies 💕

Regularly astonished that techbros with a tenuous grasp of user consent choose _this_ platform to make mistakes on main.

Only 48 hours to cram in the next 5 hours. It'll work out. Excited to play games tomorrow :3

Operating the meme exchange this morning and get dumped a few scenes from Arrival and _I'll be damned if watching that movie isn't all that'll be thought about today_. Have you considered Arrival? It's so good. It's so damn good.
