@jeffrizzo Yeah. For that exact reason, even the "--- Blocked Message ---" text is annoying.
It's like Discord said: "what is the least useful way we can implement this function?" Put all their ideas on the whiteboard and then said: "let's do that!"
There is one server I still use block extensively, though. It at least helps me scan the channels for interesting questions.
@jeffrizzo It also doesn't stop notification / unread indicators.
So, it is pretty useless.
Hey Makers! I will say this again.
It's okay if you don't finish a project.
Did you learn something along the way?
Did you have fun?
Did you enjoy yourself?
Hopefully you got *something* out of it.
The journey *can* be the reward...
You can lose interest, you can get stuck, you can put things aside.
Don't feel bad about it.
Get rid of any bad feelings you have about unfinished projects, because we've all got 'em.
And that's okay.
@trinsec Touché!
@smitty The book was amaze! amaze! amaze!
Here's the midpoint of my Apple II project, Mega IIe. I built an IIe around the "Mega-II" chip in a IIgs.
This presentation is at Kansasfest 2022 (summer), just weeks before I got the rev3 board finished!
Controlling test equipment with Python is easy with pyvisa. And Linux. ;)
@timonsku Good thing you included a picture.
I thought you were just (accurately) describing every project I ever made.
Happy new year! Another year means another year-long keogram! Every 15 seconds throughout 2022, my trusty all-sky camera took a picture of the sky above the Netherlands. Combining these 2.1 million images into a year-long keogram reveals this picture, which shows the length of the night change throughout the year (the hourglass shape), when the Moon was visible at night (diagonal bands), and the Sun higher in the sky during summer, as well as lots and lots of clouds passing overhead.
Zach Frew (who made this awesome fish tank with a sand machine in the bottom: https://frew.io/work/sisyphish ) is asking for patterns to use in a promotion for the upcoming launch of a new small sand table: https://forum.v1engineering.com/t/offering-free-sand-tables-in-exchange-for-tracks-patterns/35937?u=jeffeb3
If anyone who follows me makes sand patterns (especially with sandify.org) and they want to share your designs, with a potential reward of a neat machine, you should contact Zach.
Zach is being very respectful and not using any patterns without permission.
@geekmomprojects You can never get back the time it spends doing nothing...
