Absolutely shattered after standing up and talking about badgeware (and other shinies) for seven hours at CamJam in Cambridge MakerSpace 🫠 Good to catch up with a parade of familiar faces though, and see some new ones!

Lmfao, from what? Nobody with two brain cells to run together was estimating anything less than $800. I’m not going to check what I estimated cos it’ll be funnier if someone calls me out.

I know in principle why I gave my Dreamcast and a ton of games and accessories away, and I have amassed way too much junk in the interim. But sometimes I wonder if I should have kept hold of it!

Urge to go grab a copy of Halo 3 FINiSH TjE FoGHt and finish the fight.

My pre launch page for the Build A Boy is live on @crowdsupply.bsky.social crowdsupply.com/natalie-the-nerd/build-a-boy The only kit that will turn your Lego kit into a real working Game Boy - no emulation

man so many episodes of Stargate would be so much shorter if they just nipped over the border to BC instead of sending a Tok'ra ship to pick up a stranded SG1 member.

Disappointed that MicroPython's policy on AI isn't a staunch: "Fuck off into the sun."

Is it just me imagining things, or has GitHub broke the ability to put .patch on the end of a commit URL and see a patch?

The dulcet tones of a fucking loud chainsaw are echoing down our street as the second order effects of redirecting a whole torrent of traffic around the circumference of our village - articulated lorry turning in a cul-de-sac and damaging a tree - are dealt with.

Car just quietly started running the air presumably to reduce the humidity inside - it’s “off” in the loosest possible sense, but that has no real meaning in a computer with wheels. Kinda crazy to experience it first hand, though. It’s just doing its thing.

AI Enjoyers 🤝 Motorists Losing their fucking mind if you criticise their thing

My RV4028 computer is getting to the point where video output would be nice. Maybe I can rig up PicoTerm on the VGA demo board... Anyway - for now I'm controlling the on board LEDs with a Pimoroni QwST Pad!

If you've ever wondered about the sheer size and majesty of Mount Fuji, I took this photo of the Tokyo metropolis from the window of JL43 to London Heathrow yesterday. 🗻

Hmm the already bad mobile signal here has somehow got worse.

Why is the worst OpenReach fibre broadband connection 20… no wait £24, oh no now it’s £28/month with a 24 month contract yet you can get unlimited 5G for £20 rolling monthly? Why can’t I get a modest fibre connection at a normal price? What the heck is OpenReach actually charging per connection?

It’s only been three months but PCBWay’s communication and support for a sponsorship even as inconsequential as my ickle website has been par excellence. Coming up for renewal soon so I guess we’ll see if it continues 🤣

Just updated my Strata Core to 1.3.3 and even a few minutes playing it feels like trigger issues are fixed. Previously you needed to dial in manually and save a custom kit which I never bothered with. That extra crash and tom are calling me 🤣

Scratch-building with a difference. Instead of plasticard and putty, I designed all the parts for my Petite Curie truck conversion using TinkerCad, and 3D printed them in resin. A bit of a learning curve, but I’m getting the hang of even quite complex designs.

Tinkering with Pimoroni's new Badger 2350, powered by the #raspberrypi #RP2350 I've written an app to get the names of the astronauts on the International Space Station using the built in Wi-Fi and a little JSON magic.

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind castpixel.itch.io/pcb-forge

If you haven't heard this before, you owe it to yourself to listen to it at least once. Preferably with headphones or speakers with a lot of bass. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zRn...

Whiskey hasn’t cured my cold yet and I gotta wonder; if the bible was wrong about this, what else was it wrong about!!??

Why cough. Why you come at night? You ain’t Santa Claus, give up!

Playing the Goodbye Ritual in Season and damn. Ya’ll ever realise by the time you’d grown enough to value the oral history of your family- it was too late?

People with apparent real-time notifications about the lists and blocks they’ve caught… 1. How do you know? 2. Why even care? 🤣 All these lists and blocks and unfollows I just don’t give a fuck. Come at me 🤣 (I understand there are good reasons for #2 don’t take me for a fool!)

Googling repugnant stinky fish like someone’s gonna say: “yeah that’s totally normal eat it you’ll be fine.” In date, too 😭

I made "Greggs Roulette", an app to decide what tasty treat to eat from Greggs! I used the new Tufty 2350 from Pimoroni, it has a lovely bright screen, great case and a powerful #RaspberryPi #RP2350 SoC (the same as the #Pico2) with Wi-Fi and onboard LiPo power! youtu.be/sCOLE6amThk badgewa.re

Successfully timed a task.. the task was "make sure the task timer elapses without crashing or breaking" 🤣

Who came up with the REEEEEE sound the Stargate makes?

Stargate SG-1 on Netflix 😱

Man Stranger Things 5 takes the medal as a season so utterly without anything to say for itself that I’ve forgotten the episodes in real-time. Now for the exciting conclusion of: explaining shit like that bit in event horizon but over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

Ah shit accidentally got middle child into Storror

Jesus I dare anyone involved with Android TV to make the UI not suck for projectors.

What’s the best thing to spread on my throat to attract a dog to chew it out and save me this misery?

Built a RP2040 HUB75 driver 2yrs ago: 2 chans, 2x buffering, and 8-10bit BCM via a single DMA stream to 2 cascaded PIO engines. 7+3 PIO instr. It was a naive try. Starting fresh with RP2350. Simplifying RGB engine and refining control engine to PWM lower bitplanes, to address the min on-time issue.

If your wheat bag isn’t smoking put it in the microwave for another fifteen minutes. Apply directly to face, the immediate blistering should relieve sinus discomfort.

‘cause at 5 o’clock the lurg struck me a heady blow But my bottle of Jim Beam is running looooowww Running lowwwww
