FINALLY!!! It looks so damn good, just touch ups, a little aging, and electronics and it's done!

Other guy ran a stop sign. His car didn't leave under its own power. No injuries. I got that car in March this year.... Insurance is covering it all, but it still sucks.

Backpack printing and assembly underway!

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 25/08/2026

Apparently these are a big thing... I got one for free last year at Re:Invent. All I had to do was give up my work email.

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 24/08/2026

Well. Now I just have to figure out where to put screws to hold this thing together.

Canada doesn't want to be a state in a failing nation. Hell, most of the states of that failing nation don't want to be states of it anymore....

Exosuit modelling is coming along.....

Upgraded muzzle post meeting and some food

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 19/08/2026

Taking today's work in gear day seriously. No meeting=muzzle. I don't need to talk to write terraform.

Yisssss! Right gauntlet done

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 13/08/2026

Except this... Need to figure out how to change the angle of that face... If anyone has suggestions on how to fix it, I'm all ears!

Fusion is my bitch now.

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 12/08/2026

It's pretty much done. Just needs several layers of clear coat and a visor!

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 11/08/2026

You can sleep when your dead... Just have the details to paint! (In the background, one of the reference images)

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 10/08/2026

And unmasked! Just gotta wait a few days for the paint to cure before I can mask it again for the red

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 07/08/2026

Helmet update! It's all printed, glued and welded. First pass of sanding, smoothing and filling was done tonight, tomorrow another sand+smooth+sand, then I can prime! This is from yesterday

020

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 31/07/2026

This is what I'm making...

020

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 31/07/2026

And so it begins... If this turns out it's gonna look so cool!

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 21/07/2026

I've decided I want to bring my No Man's Sky character into meatspace. I have a lot of modelling and printing to do

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 17/07/2026

With all this smoke hazmat gear and gas masks are functional as well as kinky!!

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 15/07/2026

Needed a sex helmet to go with everything. Now I've got it!

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 14/07/2026

What is likely to be the hottest day of the year so far and I need gear. Layers: tyvek 800 underneath, xrt on top. 2 layers of nitrile gloves.

0182

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 02/07/2026

34C and I absolutely had to put on 2 layers of hazmat gear...

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 15/06/2026

Fresh install... Awesome...

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 06/06/2026

Was out in Banff, Jasper, yoho and the surrounding area for the past week. A great trip, did some bucket list items. Mountains and glaciers were featured extensively. My flight home yesterday was terrible. Never flying Flair again...

Peyto Lake, banff national park. Looks like a fox/wolf

Athabasca glacier, Jasper national park.

Sunset over Jasper, Jasper national park

Lake agnes tea house, 4km each way. 500m elevation gain. Had an awesome Earl Grey tea overlooking glaciers and mountains. Lake Louise, banff national park

Friday is for hazmat. Fight me.

First mtb ride of the season. It felt great, but now I'm sore.

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 28/04/2026

Looking at new jobs. Canadian Tech companies really need to learn they won't compete doing these things. $30k/yr less for a Canadian employee to do the exact same thing as an American hire. Canada's cost of living is higher, albeit we don't have to pay for health care directly Company name removed.

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 27/04/2026

Just a quick snap testing some new gear that literally JUST arrived. Paired with a big one air. Gorgeous and comfortable

2172

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 22/04/2026

And so here it is, fully assembled, functioning! Little things, like some red loktite on the eyelets, and maybe a box on the magnets to prevent twisting and enforce alignment, but overall. It seems like it's gonna do the job perfectly! The most expensive part is that m5 core2

370

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 21/04/2026

The m5 doesn't line up perfect, but it's good enough. Should be able support 4 bar electromagnets (ones I have draw about 0.15A so about 2W each) with a USB power supply. Run time maxed to 12hrs, but a simple code adjustment would allow you to change that...

060

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 19/04/2026

Listen, usually it's not this bad, but it does the job.

160

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 18/04/2026

And that's the controller. I just need to set up the 12v ~2A bus for the magnets on the other side of the boost module. Not sure if I'll need a heat sink for the mosfet yet. Further testing will tell, but I'm going to guess "yes"

You may want to have a chat with your graphic designers, as the backgrounds are definitely showing artifacts that are a distinct indication of AI generated content. The far back lights are out of shape, the "cables" 'glitch, as do the roof panels.

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 13/04/2026

I managed to get this thing on alone the other day, it was a challenge. If the velcro flap on the zipper would have fallen, I'd probably be stuck 😂 Gonna have to try it with someone who can help me get in and out.

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 10/04/2026

It's Friday, that means work in gear again. Same as last time including the rubber underneath, just different gloves. Went with the heavier 8mil nitrile gloves, they hit different. Working in gear just makes the day so much more enjoyable.

Working in gear, chempak XRT, msa millennium, 8 Mil gloves a haix fire eagle boots. Rubber catsuit underneath

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 06/04/2026

The gear. (Rubber underneath)

Got a bit of bondage time this weekend, tested out new straps and a harness. I still need to figure out a better solution for legs, I struggle enough for the leg straps to move...

Nothing better than collecting data about things like modem RF power so you can know when it drops out of spec and you can give your ISP hell.

There was one point where I wanted to work at Shopify, their platform was interesting, I knew a number of very skilled engineers there, and the company seemed to be run by competent individuals. Over the last couple years, that's been proven to be completely wrong, I hope the smart ones leave, fast

halon1301 @halon1301.ca · 27/02/2026

Couldnt work, cause the internet was out, so instead I wrote a script to scrape the signal and log data from my modem every minute to prove to my ISP there definitely is a signalling issue on my cable line. Completely normal activity...

Output from the Hitron CODA-45 API that provides json of the signal info and device logs.

FYI, the hole for the regulator on my light T is 22mm. The internal part sits on top of the gasket and has no indexing to the hole, the outside is effectively indexes it and passes through. Then the screw holds it together. May have room for electro and fluid.

I guess that key is supposed to be an "E"
