Last Notes npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Might have to break out untappd for the first time in several years. 🤣 npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub1qk5…jlda Chilli WINE?! That's a new one on me. Sounds lethal. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan #AskFedi : any recommendations for Android Mastodon clients that handle multiple accounts well? npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan We continue to harvest an inherited bounty from the new #allotment plot - I delved deep into the overgrown raspberry tunnel this evening, which at one end is being taken over by blackberries (I suspect these are unintentional weeds, but we'll enjoy their fruit all the same). A handful of strawberries the slugs and others haven't et from the overgrown patch on our original plot too. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub1eav…g6f3 gonna need a bigger compost bin! npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Managed to downsample the video to under 40MB, not exactly high fidelity, but it gives the right idea. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Turns out we have a local candidate I can vote for! 😂 npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub16ju…y8u7 yeah, I'd add olives sometimes too, but probably more often jalapeños. I just like that sweet pineapple / salty fish combo. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub16ju…y8u7 oh, yeah, we noticed this recently in Cambridge too - similarly we used PJ's because of the anchovy option (given Dominoes stopped doing them ages ago.) No more Hawaiian pizza with anchovies for me :( npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub1700…8tth now I need to find some and sniff it to work out what a sneeze smells like 😂 npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan One of the amusing things about bankruptcy is you have to pay £680 to go bankrupt... lol. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Really need to work out what the hell I'm doing with my life. Because the current thing just isn't ... it. One thing recent experiences have shown me is I just want to make things again - I'm not an admin/management person. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub12un…s77h I am expecting to be generally underwhelmed! npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Great advertising for Buldak 3x Spicy: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy00gk0kr82o npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub16ju…y8u7 love how they gave 28.8k modems names like "Sportster" 😂 npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Nearly at the end of 2 weeks into English "calendar summer" and I'm eyeing up the little electric heater coz ... brrrr... (I seem to be getting less tolerant of cold in my old age... it's 17.5C in here at desk level, 15.5C at floor... at Uni I used to chill the computer lab I commandeered to 16C and enjoy it lol... but that was circa 2000. Good old Madsen building LG44, surreal memories...) npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Last RT: happened to me yesterday with a sentence along the lines of: sat in the furry high commission drinking furry homebrew whilst hacking on badge code trying to display a bitmap of a cat icon npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan The yellow box penalties in London are getting fucking ridiculous. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Bumping to version 2.0 of this already lol... a significant refinement which should make the whole thing more svelte, less blocky... and the screws can remain accessible after the acrylic window is put in. (Next job is to fire up the CNC and cut out the window...) npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan England, England, wherefore art thou so fucking cold in "summer". Fucksake. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan And the lanyard holes could be made into a lanyard tube to preserve the unholiness of the top cover. 🤔 npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan On the topic of IP-rating, could probably to a passable effort on the top surface - but it's going to be hard with the middle - especially if not wanting to block hexpansions. I'm thinking of printing some sort of lower sleeve in TPU to at least shroud things a little. Could mount from the top surface below the cover and work as a sorta gasket - and with screw wells instead of holes we could have a pretty good seal once the acylic window is glued in place. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub1y7g…53v0 Hitchin! npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Righty, who's already reused their #emfcamp #tildagon for another event? npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Hmmm... is there something fucky about how the ctx.rgb function represents colours... seems to be wrong on the #emfcamp #tildagon hardware if 1-255 range values are used, but correct if the 0-1 range is used. The emulator is correct for the 1-255 range. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Kind of ignoring the other factor that I'm playing in FreeCAD as a procrastination activity avoiding some VAT filing stuff I need to do with a midnight deadline lol. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Things I should be doing: being at a beer festival (optional: drinking beer) npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan A photo from #emfcamp I rather like... some of my favourites are a bit fuzzy and pixelated in low light, but really capture a scene for me - or capture the madness? Like this... npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Trying to remember how to use IRC... it has been a looong old time. (I used to be on it all the time, even ran an IRC server for a while... but that's many years ago now.) npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan One of my post #EMFcamp catch-ups is contributing to the #swapshop fund... it was a bit too complex to deal with on-site (for my own reasons) so I took photos of the QR codes... oddly only one of my photos is scanning off the screen, however the £5 one works so that's all good and I've done my duty for the handful of resistors, switches, screws (all for #tildagon hackage), and (oddly) a citronella candle we picked up there. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Hurrah! New screen arrived for Kat's #tildagon - plus a spare. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Many breakfasts regarded as wholesome are basically just a combination of carbohydrates and dairy. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Straight out of emfcamp into 3 12+ hour working days mainly driving and on my feet ... npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan If only life had a reset button. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Well, in under 24 hours everything is completely shit and the only thing preventing me jumping in front of a bus on Newmarket Road is empathy for bus drivers. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub17wk…uzqr wow, that's some dedication to the memory! npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan My only regrets from #emfcamp are: npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub1x98…3a8w the spider image is from some classic Internet meme npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub17zc…ewc2 ah, wow! Thanks. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan #emfcamp #nullsector Sunday night rave in FLIR-view npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan #emfcamp #nullsector Sunday night rave in FLIR-view npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan The "MEH" is merely my final effort at a tildagon app today. I spent a bunch of time digging into the guts of the code trying to display a bitmap but dug too deep and just kept breaking the OS... not sure if tildagonos.tft is supposed to be available to use, but I managed to get to it in a way and load a bitmap but then the screen was forever the bitmap. I think I may have made a second instance of the TFT controller. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan The Thinkpads, which seem to be the dominant grazing species here, continue to wander these #emf24 pastures enjoying the glut of bandwidth whilst it lasts. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Ah, dusk! There's the sound of the tesla coil singing in the distance at #emf24. They're very territorial. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Making some final good use of the insane #emf24 Internet connection before our ethernet cable gets unplugged. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan One for @npub1x98…3a8w 😅 npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Just call me.... Unknown error npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Refreshing pints of lager at @npub1xgk…xaxc npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Our #emf24 home is camping area E. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan ah, dang, I think you need to have double sided connections to get power out of the connector... that's going to be definitely beyond me (the detect pin is on the back, the 3.3v pins are on the front... maybe just need to design in a small battery...) npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Last RT — reading things like that it feels like it's time to pack our bags and move back to Australia. (Not that I'd consider Australia definitely safe in a large scale conflict scenario, but country south west is probably better than being in the English fens surrounded by USAF and RAF air bases.) npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan No, people. Just ... no. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub16ju…y8u7 doing the same today, thankfully have Cambridge Beer Festival to set the tent up at and make sure it's all OK (from at which the fallback is simply "drive home instead" lol). Has been a while. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan The UK needs table-service in bars/pubs. Especially for those of us going solo with bags/laptops/whatever. I used to enjoy working in German bars and just having someone come around and sort me a beer. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub1qul…ftfj oh, interesting! I'll have to look into that. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Was supposed to be off work early today... didn't happen, too much work to do. Got off at 17.30 which still counts as early ... maybe time to do something about this hey? npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan So... it looks like we're going to #emfcamp for the first time (after many years of wanting to) - thanks to some late access tickets and an event I normally support removing itself from my calendar (albeit it's kinda wedged tightly between two other major beer festivals!) npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan "We have a nanny and we have a gardener and cleaners… and that also gives more jobs. So we shouldn't forget about how we're building the society." npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub178p…v34p yeah, we'll go do our thing. It's only a 10 minute walk down the road - no excuse not to really. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Anyone got a job for a UK-based remote-working tech/IT jack-of-all-trades quite happy doing anything from the high level of hacking on websites to the low level of micro-controller coding & asm - or sysadmin/devops. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Kat, who's suffering some awful & debilitating shoulder/upper-back pain at the moment (2+ weeks in) tried to book into the local GP about it ... booking available in 1 month... told to try her luck calling first thing in the mornings hoping for ad-hoc daily availability. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan A MINUTE of ads... npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Kat has turned some of our #allotment asparagus into excellent sushi! Lunch noms. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Amusingly noticed the Volvo and I are both from Perth. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan "it could unlock a binary polynomial in the power grid's OS!" npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan The green handled Victorinox medium paring knife is AWOL... think we left it at the pub. We have a few other knives that aren't often used tucked away - the only other one that gets much use though is my mahoosive cleaver for when I need to do some more serious butchery and I don't worry about keeping that quite so sharp. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Also got a load of seed trays and small pots cleaned up and sterilised. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan I think I'm starting to get a feel for what weekends are. This is the first "weekend" in many months I've felt like I'm kinda achieving "weekend" - "spring cleaning" done, about 3 years of spring cleaning backlog to catch up on but it's a start. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Anyway, sigh, back to the chilli... npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan RIP Hardknott Dave, RIP Hairy Biker Dave, and, whilst I am thinking about Daves, RIP Handy Stout Drinking Dave from our old local, he'd have liked the beer. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan So tonight's dinner is a slice of yesterday's roast local pork belly served with oven chips, creamed chard, and steamed asparagus. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan I presume in the background credit checks and various risk analysis "algorithms" crunched me up and spat out "COMPUTER SAYS YES". npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Could have tried a joint application but that gets more complex and it's maybe mildly better to have all the debt riding on my name only really. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan I tend to find banks seem insanely blasé about handing out loans - and as ever the mind boggles about the logic of the whole debt market. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan You'd think a bank like HSBC could get their tech shit sorted out - but no... they're the worst. I cannot even download a CSV of transactions from last year because their "filter" won't show transactions beyond 2 months ago despite claiming you can search back to 18 months ago. FFS. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Had a play around and it seems the code is: SALE24 npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Ashridge Trees have a 50% off sale on end-of-season bare rooted stock so I've finally bitten the bullet and ordered some raspberries - three varieties spanning early, mid, and late cropping: Glen Lyon, Glen Ample, and Polka npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub16ju…y8u7 Googling such things reminds me that apparently iPhone have some sort of LIDAR in them and room mapping apps these days. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub16ju…y8u7 hmmm... is that what they use for MoCap work? Where they stick the pingpong balls on people? npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Panic, freak out! Argh... we don't have enough coffee beans in the house for a Chemex brew... I cut it too fine, now I must suffer. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Look, it's what's left of the Tory voter-base in faux-bread form. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub16ju…y8u7 I guess a "GB flag" would have to remove whichever cross it is that's Ireland... npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub16ju…y8u7 I always get confused about the whole GB/UK flag. I'd probably fail a citizenship test if I wanted to do one 😂 npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Ah, the English and their love of fences. One of the many puzzles of this country. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Based on the fact their skins seem to last as long as plastic untouched in compost I have developed a theory that avocados are a scam product, basically it's a ball of green flavoured butter moulded around a wooden "seed", and wrapped in a PET plastic shell. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Planning, planning, planning... npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan So brunch is scrambled duck egg on toasted baguette with local bacon and Fruit Pig black pudding. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Duck eggs! 🦆🥚 npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Doesn't look like much but finally got the tomato seeds in. Also some extra chillies, cape gooseberries, and tomatillos. Into the hotfridge at 39°C. Late, late, late... npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Barely feels like winter is over to us and already the British are complaining about the heat 😅 npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub1gd6…qnee people ... :( npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan @npub1sh4…32nx hah, love it. npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Hm, I bet I could ferment in a repurposed PolyKeg... they're virgin PET with screw-on top fitting... really that ought to be fine, and I bet I can adapt the tops to do venting/blow-off and also top pressure/carb if needed. Could possibly pressure dispense from them too (coz bugger bottling). npub18yxfxjyez4ddzdsls0rdrjaself2nuwctvzjt7lnt89fwf0rjlnspzv42y Yvan Pondering getting back into beer homebrew... I had a brief stint at it over a decade ago, made a couple of nice beers, made a couple of less nice ones... no worse than "beer sample roulette" really. I still have most of the equipment, probably just need a new fermenter really.
