I don’t understand how people stare at their phones all day. I had three hours with nothing but my phone and was bored within 15 minutes

In Yasothon Thailand for the annual rocket festival! Party tonight, parade tomorrow, and rockets on Sunday! I’ll update with pictures over the weekend

My “office” for the next two weeks

Officially on vacation. Woo hoo!

Overtime is stressful. Second overtime? Bed time.

It's a lift and shift kind of weekend. With some OS version upgrades while I'm at it

Random things on my coffee table: two film cameras and film holders, scraper, blood pressure meter, glasses and case, a paper on calculating ejection charges, vacuum attachment, old NAR membership card, 10k training plan, thermometer, …

Announcing that this weekend, make sure you're on my mailing list! Amyraehill.com

Who wants to run my 5k for me?

Turns out FreeCAD literally is rocket science. The Rocket Workbench + CfdOF are being used to analyse rocket stability and drag with CFD. Read the story: blog.freecad.org/2026/04/03/freecad-it-is-rocket-science/ #FreeCAD #CAD #OpenSource #Maker #Rocket #Rocketry

Four days off can only mean one thing: writing bugs! (er... I mean fixing bugs!)

Well the combination of finger errors and failed backup process means my mysql server just lost all of its data. Le sigh.

This Thursday I will be giving a free online talk for the Ottawa chapter of the Canadian Aviation Historical Society exploring the research that goes into aviation archaeology through three case studies. Details in the image below. Please contact [email protected] to register.

After successfully completing a 10k last year, I (perhaps foolishly) signed up for a half marathon in September. It’s been almost 20 years since my last. I’m saying “Ow!” already

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

Break the Ice (process)

The day passes very quickly when you don't get out of bed until after noon

Fixed a nagging weeks old bug... before 7 AM. The day can only go downhill from here.

UI programming is fun. Fixing one small detail with a single line of code... and the 10K lines of support code that make that single line work.

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

We have released the second Release Candidate for #FreeCAD version 1.1 - please download and test the version with your files and workflows. If there are any issues, report them on GitHub. We want to make sure 1.1 is a stable improvement! github.com/FreeCAD/Free... #CAD #CAM #OpenSource #FOSS

Unit tests are good for finding regressions. But honestly, I find more bugs when writing unit tests then I do in any later runs

No we’re not. If you choose to wear a dunce hat in public, I am going to treat you like one.
