Me and the dog are having a successful duvet day while my wife is out at work.

I briefly left my pit this morning to consume Weetabix with whole milk and Baileys, which was delicious.

I recently matched with a lady on a dating app over our shared love of cinema, so you can imagine my horror when she invited me over and I found she was watching a film on the TV with that awful motion smoothing effect on. I made my excuses.

@HopelessDemigod Icom IC-705 and a Wavelab transverter. Andrews 30cm dish and gutted Stratex ODU. Done SSB, FM and DStar over it :) 2W output at the waveguide.

GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program.
GNU stands for GNU's Not Unix.
UNIX stands for Uniplexed Information Computing System ('unics').

Therefore, GIMP's full name is GNU's Not Uniplexed Information Computing Systems Image Manipulation Program.

I hate Apple Mail's spam filter. Just checked it and I'd missed an email from Warren Buffet!! :(

There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!

putty.software/

At present, this is just a "landing page": a nice short name to remember, which will redirect you to the full PuTTY website at the same longer URL where it's always been.

But unlike putty.org or other third-party landing pages, this one is run by us, the actual PuTTY team, and it doesn't have a weird separate agenda of its own.

I intend to move the main PuTTY site over to that domain in the future, and leave just a redirector at the old location. But first I want to get the word out, so that people know which site to trust.

If anyone is still linking to putty.org, here's a place to link to instead. Please spread the word!

@jamesb The other day this was me. I needed a tiny two port USB hub. Adafruit to the rescue!

A 3d printed box containing some mechanical keys wired up to a pi pico, which is wired up to a tiny usb hub.  A teensy is also wired to the hub.  It’s all sitting on a green cutting mat with some side cutters and a vernier calliper as tasteful decoration.

She’s alive! Only driven it once since moving back North 4 months ago 🫣 Making room in the garage over the next few weeks, so I can get it gleaming again. (not really all that weird)

Hey #bornhack, are you in the mood for proper Techno? Tonight from 21:00 I will be playing one of my famous DJ Sets at the Bar area.

People who miss my sets often tell me afterwards that they regret it. So don't be like them and come to the party! 😎 It also makes me happy if many people show up and dance, so make my day please 🥺
