This week I also built the excellent Precision Clock by #mitxela

It took about 3 hours, and my rusty soldering skills got a bit of a refresher. Thankfully improving with each one of the 299 through-hole solder joints (plus redoing ~5 cold joints)

Now I have a millisecond accurate GPS-powered ISO timestamp on my desk, and the girlfriend is not in the slightest bit impressed by this.

You know something has gone really wrong when an IM platform needs to add a Kanban style workflow to dealing with messages.

Apparently Wordle has made its way into British daytime TV and infuriatingly none of the contestants know how to play it

No, not some exotic cooling solution...
Just an idle server running out in the garage 🤷

3D printers are magic!

Here's something I did this weekend that I couldn't find a quick and easy alternative for...
A custom-fit scotia/floor trim to go around the bullnose at the bottom of my stairs. Blended with filler and caulk prior to painting.

Optimistically thought I'd help out my house buyer by crimping the 24 CAT6A cables running through my house, to try and neaten up the overly-techy patch panel in the spare room.

First one and I'm giving up... I thought pass through connectors were the new hotness that would help make all of our lives easier?!
