  1. Started building a hydroponics tower - not a bad project for starting 3d printing, though I still struggle with the stringy aspect of PETG... PLA is much easier to print with.

  2. Nearly finished my build, and the left half works perfectly.

    ...just need to figure out why half the keys on the right side are triggering multiple keys...

  3. Can't wait to start this project... I just need the switches to deliver (and time!)...

  4. As part of my at home server/lab project - I discovered that you can read data from an RS-232 printer port - and it's pretty easy using / !

    I don't really have much need to actually measure pH at home, but it's cool to see what you could program (like a poor man's ELN!).

  5. Currently investigating building my own split keyboard from a kit... is there any place you could order customized keycaps that match your layout (specifically, LED backlit, low profile)?

    I'm imagining for example, having the A be the primary legend on a key, but then the subscript is the level 1 keybinding, while the superscript is the level 2 keybinding...

  6. The great thing about platforms like and is that you can see when something like SQL has a built-in function to do what you coded.

    The terrible thing about platforms like codewars and hackerrank is that you can see there was a built-in solution for the thing you just manually coded... 🥲

  7. conference starts tomorrow.

    I'm only slightly disappointed that none of the merch are pajamas...

    Looking forward to some of the interesting talks though, such as the animated data stories or Colab talks!
