A rare #caturday contribution, but she's sitting there so happy :bec_smile:

My orange kitty, alert but comfortable, sitting on the couch. She's looking at the camera with ears pointed upwards, curious why I'm making noise. Her paws and the tip of her tail are tucked under herself in a "half loaf" form.

Jack in and join IRC. For the Aesthetic. For the Chooms. For the 'net we were promised. :bec_grin: #RetroNetworking #RetroComputing #IRC #OtherNetworks #Windows98 #Windows98se #Windows9x

A screenshot of a Windows 98 desktop with the Inside Computer theme (showing various bits and bobs of glowing electronics) and in the foreground:

Having a Hal morning here today, but in the best way. Wanting to get underway with some electronics projects, had this kickstart'ed mobile soldering station that needed building. Overall, can't complain! Having an extractor fan that lives with the station […] [Original post on corteximplant.com]

An unfolded soldering station -- about the size of a laptop, with a black grid loaded with modules on top of a gray steel plate (and above a gray work area).

Various modules are visible, including tool holders, a mini voltmeter, a combined light/extraction fan, an inspection prism, a USB-C cable spool, a solder and copper braid spool, helping hands, and a soldering iron.

Continuing in unrelentingly deep nerd topics: Let's bake support for launching directly into #lucybz IRC straight into the VMU! #hexeditor #dreamcast #vmu #lucybz #irc

A hex editor interface running on the dreamcast (with nice crisp characters in VGA mode).

The screen is filled with columns of repeating hex characters in the center, with addresses to the left and string equivalents to the right.

The cursor is currently at offset 0x00336, which is the beginning of the irc.lucy.bz hostname, now entered into memory.

Speaking of the coffee shop, they've got some signage up by the register about being engaged in your civic duty and helpful links, etc. Towards the back of the shop, one spots the following arrangement -- not sure what they're trying to say, here :bec_wink […] [Original post on corteximplant.com]

A wooden bookshelf in the back of a shop. The shelf is sitting on a wooden floor, with a pink chair next to it and windows on both sides.

There is a board across the top of the shelf that reads "We the People," and "Books for Engaged Citizens."

On the shelf are the following titles: "How democracies die," "It can happen here," "How fascism wins," "On Tyranny," "The Wages of Destruction", "The Origins of Totalitarianism," "Escape from freedom," "The anatomy of fascism," "Fahrenheit 451," "Night," "Brave new world," "The coming of the third reich," "Darkness at noon," "Sir Thomas More," "The open society and its enemies," and "The Handmaid's Tale."

There's something neat about seeing something in public from a person you know [of], even if only peripherally. But there's something _really really cool_ about seeing something in the real world that was made by a fedi local. It's moving in a way […] [Original post on corteximplant.com]

My hand holding up a copy of "Automatic Noodle" by Annalee Newitz.

The book cover depicts a robotic hand using chopsticks to lift noodles out of a square building-sized container, set in the backdrop behind a city. The foreground art is a yellow, red, and purple ombré against a light blue background.

There is a blurry table of arranged books in the background.

Take 2 on printing these damn coins. The first attempt failed just before this point. Cleaning the plate with those _itty bitty stars_ on it made out of springy PLA meant little tiny plastic shurikens went _everywhere_. Yeah, we're gonna have to vacuum […] [Original post on corteximplant.com]

A close-up of a 3D printer bed, showing 2 sets of 12 coins early into being printed out of gray plastic. They have little tiny stars around the periphery.

Woo, 3D printing is working well enough to print project cases now :D

A hand holding a bright yellow 3D-printed case with a blocky/futurish/cyberpunkish design. In the center is a small blue display which reads HELTEC Automation.

There is an inset knurled gray knob on the top right, a protruding antenna on the top left, and inset buttons on the bottom. The knob and buttons are gray.

There is a USB charging cable protruding from the bottom of the device.

Aside from being under the weather, rushed, and poorly-practiced, my nails still came out kinda cute.

My hands with painted nails, with pinky, middle, and index fingers printed a flat mint-ish green, and my thumb and ring fingers painted metallic purple.

My feet are kicked up on the desk in the background with various tech and tools strewn about.

Okay so that might have been a lie. Went looking for Chrono Trigger but Chrono Cross came up first. ( No, not avoiding cleaning, how dare you :bec_grin: )

My friend wrote me a note this morning while we sat at the conference. Oops.

A hand resting on a legal pad. On the pad are the handwritten words "fix your face"

Anyways, here's the totally sane and appropriate number of #BoardGames and #CardGames to bring to a several-day work function. Games listed in the #AltText.

A road case stuffed to the gills with board games. In sight are:

Buffer Time, Flip 7, Village Pillage, Mantis, Uno, Star Cartel, Sushi Go Party, and Anomia. Hidden under the other games is Element.

The back lid of the case has Coup and Coup Reformation, some mini dice boxes, a pouch of gold coins, a cyberpunnk-styled card deck, and some very nice sets of D&D dice.

Today's #caturday contribution. She's annoyed all the activity, but wants to be nearby.

A lightly colored orange cat sitting on the edge of the couch, staring past the camera. A kitchen and board games on shelves are visible in the background.
