Working on a logo for our hackerspace.
Logo design is hard. https://mastodon.cloud/media/HyWPtREL0lAUeGLx9LQ
A video about printable x86 executables - starts out a bit slow, but is worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA_DrBwkiJA
Played Arkham Horror with some friends. Took 8-ish hours, and we died fighting against Quachil Uttaus.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
Spent all night being distracted by the patterns you see when you close your eyes instead of sleeping \o/
Neuromancer is amazing, right? other #cybrebooks that I adore:
Accelerando, Charles Stross, get it here { http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/fiction/accelerando/accelerando-intro.html }. The first three chapters will melt your eyeballs (in a fun, readable way), plots with a handful of pages end in communism comingled with music piracy via legal forkbombs before spinning onwards. Warren Ellis loves it to pieces.
The Destructives: cynical hilarious wit.
(others? thoughts on these?)
In lieu of a gay agenda I have opted for a gay Gantt chart:
@apo An Extensive Look at the Phenomenon of Accidental Grammatical, Spelling, Logical, and Topical Errors Unnoticed by Social Media Authors Until Published.
I bet it's on JSTOR right now.
Relatedly, if your stm32-fu is better than mine, I wouldn't mind if you took a quick peek at https://p.0au.de/190fd9e7 and told me why it doesn't seem to be triggering every 168 cycles. It doesn't matter what I use as period, actually, it always triggers at 3.23-ish MHz, with the system clock running at 168 MHz, or... every 50 cycles? 48?
Up just before 6 messing with microcontrollers again. This should stop.
Optimally before I have to be at the train station at 8:30 tomorrow.
*looks at twitter* oh good, i got followed by a tech exec and three more brands
*looks at mastodon* i got followed by 8 witches, 3 queer furries and 7 cybrepunks
Have some screenshots from the scope. Guess which one has the USB to serial cable attached between PC and oscilloscope! ;)
(Fuck that noise.)

Attached a ferrite core antenna to my scope. There's the DCF77 signal at the expected frequency, but plenty of noise from my PC's power supply, maybe 10 dB down with the antenna and scope 1m-0.5m from the PC. Definitely going to need a crystal filter for this. Should be able to get one from some old radio clock.
Bluh. You guys kept me up until 6 again... good night, my little ponies.
There's a new annual survey on the #Plover blog, once again reminding me that I don't practice nearly as much #stenography as I should. The #Stenoboard feels meh, and the Stentura is huge and gets in the way, so I don't have it near my computer much, resulting in... barely any practice at all. A year after I got the things, I'm still at less than 20 words per minute, compared to about 100 on #dvorak. Bah.
Cancelled the STM32 evening because fedex said the dev boards would get delivered tomorrow. Then they arrived today after all. *sigh*
Had a fun time playing with some esp8266s, other electronics, and the cryptopal challenges, though.
Thinking of building our own laser tag sensors and stuff.
Hm, having getting errors when I try to look at my followers or looking for users. Anybody else seeing that?
Oh, neat. On Cortex-M3 processors, a bunch of registers get pushed/popped automatically when an interrupt gets called. That's useful.
Wrote some #Python code to talk to my Tektronix #oscilloscope and now I can get waveform data out of it \o/ There goes the night.
Oh damn, it's 0630. Totally got this code to work, though, and I found out how to attach gdb to microcontrollers!
