yeaaah boiiii, DIY incident light meter works now I need to finagle a screen, button, and some sorta case to shove it all in

some boring code dealing with logarithms and then the output showing the forced oneshot measurement was 8.5 EV at 100 ASA or 931 lux

My taste is all over the place so it was brutal narrowing things down. Kinda went for albums I listen to front to back repeatedly across different genres (or in the case of FLCL and the pillows, what altered my brain chemistry)

My 9 Albums:
No Gods / No Managers by Choking Victim
Let's Face it by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Necronomidonkeykongimicon by Goblin Cock

Cookin with gas, I'm reading and writing to registers. Also a bit too dumb this late at night to stumble my way into doing anything useful because that would require math and it's mushy smooth brain time.

$Someone is going to criticize the code here, but it's just me trial and erroring my way into making my own library for an ambient light meter IC. The screenshot shows: print(f"Device ID Register Value: {bin(this_opt4001.device_id)}") print(f"Default Config Mode:") print(f"{this_opt4001.orig_config.to_bytes(2)}") print(f"New Config Mode:") print(f"{this_opt4001.new_config.to_bytes(2)}") CircuitPython REPL soft reboot code.py output: Device ID Register Value: 0b100100001 Default Config Mode: b'\x00\x03' New Config Mode: b'\x00\x01'$

Well, I’ve gotten the i2c comms to work but I’m either reading or buffering the registers incorrectly

Went back to DIY light meter since I’m waiting on clutch plates. These lil baby SOT583 breakout boards came a week or so ago. Waaay easier to bust out the SMD rework station than trying to directly solder wires to the pins

That series regulator/rectifier ratfucked off a seadoo is the same bolt pattern as the cheapo shunt R/R, but it’s a wee bit longer. Made an ugly bracket with random aluminum stock to rotate it and it clears the starter and carb fine. Need to paint it and grab a shorter bolt though

The aforementioned new to me regulator/rectifier almost free floating between all the other engine components

Just a casual reminder that I flushed the oil thrice before my friends picked me and the bike up lmao

The clutch basically being jammed out of battery kept it disengaged. The plates are fine though, just some slight marring inside the bell housing from it popping to the side slightly And all this schmoo certainly didn’t help lmao. Plates are cleaned up and soaking in oil till I throw em back in

The inside of the clutch bell housing coated with the most viscous black goo that took way too much degreaser to clean out.

I’ve become rather proficient at working on the Himalayan and I don’t know if that’s a good thing lmao Good news is, so far, there’s no real damage from Tuesday’s blind corner oopsie into a flash flooded road. Still need to take the head off for peace of mind though

Look who’s back, it’s the Himalayan 411 but with the right side of the crank case half stripped and some disgusting watery brown oil underneath it

AK Press sent a flyer showing off their new books and it has a foldout poster printed on the reverse side. I fucking love it

The aforementioned poster with pink, blue and green text that reads “ALL YOU FASCISTS BOUND TO LOSE”. The flyer attributes it to Pete Railand from Justseeds Artists’s Cooperative

Most people say to just immediately swap the pads out for sintered ones and it’ll help a bit. However, I want a front brake that can actually stop me if I need it to, so I ratfucked a brembo caliper off a Tenere for dirt cheap cuz fuck it we ball

I've been going back and forth between this and another photo for one of my entries. Finally decided on the other, so I might as well drop this one here. Olympus Pen F & F.Zuiko Auto-S 38mmm f/1.8 Kentmere 400 & Pyrocat HD #believeinfilm #filmphotography #wwhfpd26

The riverboat Belle of Cincinnati moored on the bank of the Ohio River with the Taylor Southgate bridge directly behind and above it. The sun is beaming in from the top right of the frame. The image is tinged shades of purple from leaving the negative's pyro stain in the inversion.

There's a few of the fireworks that are less blurry and waaay more rad. Only the last bit is of Riverfest though, there's such a goofy spread of things on this roll from the whole week Olympus Pen F & F.Zuiko Auto-S 38mmm f/1.8 Kentmere 400 & Pyrocat HD #believeinfilm #filmphotography #wwhfpd26

A black and white image, albeit tinged purple and teal from reversing the pyro stain instead of keeping it monochrome, of the fireworks at Riverfest in Cincinnati as seen from the bank of the river in Newport Kentucky. At the bottom of the frame is the barge, moored in the Ohio River, where the fireworks are being fired from. Large plumes of smoke hover over the barge from a the lift charges of the shells that are breaking overhead... and I think a cake site is on fire in the center, like it's burning bright enough to cause halation.
Beyond the barge, there's a sea of people spectating on the Ohio side of the river and part of the Cincinnati skyline behind them.

Ehh yeah they're a bit blurry, but it adds to the chaos. Time to scan the rest of the roll and agonize over what to submit for #wwhfpd26 Olympus Pen F & F.Zuiko Auto-S 38mmm f/1.8 Kentmere 400 & Pyrocat HD #believeinfilm #filmphotography

A slightly blurry black and white image of a barge on the Ohio River erupting with streaks of exploding white light as a fan cake lets it rip. The cake's small shells are breaking in the center of the frame like glitter. Overhead are some remnants of brocade shells fizzling out and, on the river, some bright lanterns float downstream past the barge. Taken at Riverfest in Cincinnati from the bank of the river in Newport, KY

Im totally going to fuck this up

A little 2.1mm by 1.2mm chip thats going to burn the second I touch a soldering iron to it, I just know it

I’m fairly certain I was trying to hand hold these between a half and a full second, so we’ll see if they’re blurry garbage after they dry

When you find a rare out of print book that teaches you esoteric ways to accidentally explode, that means you’ve acquired a spell book, right? A grimoire?

The front cover of a red spiral bound book that reads:
“Pyrotechnica
Occaisonal Papers in Pyrotechnics”

Then in the center, actually cited correctly inside, the 1933 lithograph “Vuurwerk” by Dutch artist M.C. Escher which depicts a crowd circling around a pyrotechnician and looking up at the sky at a large waterfall shell break.

At the bottom, the full title of the paper published inside, “Traditional Cylindrical Shell Construction by A. Fulcanelli”

Look how cute the malware I got in the mail is!

A USB stick embedded in a silicone keychain that is an artists rendition of the ILOVEYOU computer worm by LambdaMamba, similar in the style to pokemon. It is a worm with angel wings and a halo circling a heart almost like a worm circling an apple.The USB stick, of course, contains said malware.

A USB stick embedded in a silicone keychain that is an artists rendition of the Flame malware by LambdaMamba, similar in the style to pokemon. It is a little flame on a cloud holding a fishing with a USB stick, kinda like Lakitu in Mario. The USB stick, of course, contains said malware.

Aww, MAP sensor, I love you too

Protip for aspiring engine builders: Make sure your head bolt threads are clean and lightly oiled.* Keeps them from seizing and lets you evenly apply higher torque. Just a light film. Any excess oil can pool in the hole and, with the magic of hydraulics, split your block as you try to compress it
