I’ve been wondering for a while about making new business cards and/or a maker coin. So I decided to combine the two into a mini digital one. A 42mm square inspired by floppy disks with an embedded nfc chip.
Small business cards that look like little floppy disks. Small business cards that look like little floppy disks. Small business cards that look like little floppy disks.

Whenever kiddo asks for the Mr Tickle Tonie there’s a 50/50 chance that my wife or I will say “It’s Ti-kel!!” with more enthusiasm than we should. Suffice to say I’m looking forward to @aiannucci.bsky.social on Taskmaster.

Ok, ParkRun complete. I finished this first one in a time of “not dead” and I technically came ahead of at least one OAP.

If your response to outcry that your AI can produce unconsentual images of people, even children, that are sexual in nature is that you will simply restrict it to paid users… … well you’ve just monetised abuse rather than preventing it. There is no hell too deep for you.

Define “perfect ending”
A picture of Chidi and Eleanor from the finale of “The Good Place” the quote reads:

Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through,
it's there & you can see it, you know what it is.
It's a wave & then it crashes on the shore & it's gone.
But the water is still there.
The wave was just a different way for the water to be for a little while.

COAL CONSUMPTION AFFECTING CLIMATE.
The furnaces of the world are now
burning about
2,000,000,000 tons of
coal a year.
When this is burned,
uniting with oxygen, it adds about 7,000,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere yearly. This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the carth and to raise its temperature. The effect may be considerable in a few centuries.

Ok, the Hackmellow is officially in alpha. This chonky boi has a Raspberry Pi 5 up his bum and seems very happy about it. YES the thermals are currently not so much inadequate as they are “please melt my hardware” but that’s because I’m using this more open internal to test fans.

I’ve decided my Raspberry Pi 5 needs a new case. The form factor I’ve decided upon isn’t the smartest but it IS the dumbest. Clamp frame designed so far, behold the future HACKMELLOW! (Yes, cooling is going to be a bitch)
