Interesting Fact of the Day: Sign Language, like any language, has accents and regional dialects.

The future is now

An image showing how the protoboard I designed is laid out as well as a picture of the printed board and my Frequency Counter design soldered to it as an example. I also attached the schematic for reference.

The first draft of the PCB protoboard I designed arrived. It is more beautiful than I could have imagined.

The latest version of the Frequency Counter design. Getting close to done...

There are actually people alive dumb enough to believe Global Warming isnt happening, or that the earth is flat.

New prototyping style around the breakout board in an effort to reduce parasitics.

In an attempt to reduce parasitics I'm minimizing the breakout board leads.

The latest version of my frequency counter prototype using a Manhattan style construction.

If would seem Mastodon now handles long-form posts much better. In the timeline it will automatically add "See More" when a post is beyond a certain length. Does this mean we can do away with the rule to CW long messages?

I have to say, as much as I despise trump I have to give him credit for doing one very important thing. He has lowered taxes for everyone. While i may not agree with how he redistributes the money I absolutely agree with lowering taxes on all brackets.

Damnit, the design still isn't working as expected. Suggestions welcomed.

Anyone interested, dont forget to list yourselves in the new user directory. You can opt-in by updating your user settings. It makes it easier for people to find and follow you.

#QOTO is now officially on 2.7.0, enjoy.

Side note. I also brought up a discourse server for us to use and will slowly be bringing up a/back a few other servers in the qoto family helping us promote and discuss STEM (or just chat).

If you want to play around with the new discourse server while we figure out how we want to use it you can sign up and use it here:}

#QOTO ANNOUNCEMENT:

In about an hour or so the server will be going down to begin the upgrade process. This is a big upgrade so expect a longer than usual down time.

Good news fellow #QOTO members. I just finished upgrading the qoto source varient to pull in Mastodon upstream changes. The code base in github for qoto now has all the 2.7.0 changes incorporated while keeping the qoto modifications in tact.

The system admin team will now begin working on the upgrade itself. If all goes well we should be fully up to date in a day or two.
