I'm at Daniel Boone Regional Library in Columbia MO today, for the local author event. If you're in the area, stop by and say "hello"!

The lovely @melwolverson.bsky.social bought me a portable Celestron telescope! My first successful use of the 10mm eyepiece (and the included moon filter, which is green). I was desperately trying to keep the phone steady (we'll get a clip). Really happy with it for a first effort!

Laser engraving a LibreQoS business card with @melwolverson.bsky.social . It's oddly hypnotic to watch! This is a thin,shiny aluminium card with a gold coating that the laser burns away. Buff it afterwards, and it's really striking! (Test run, the actual cards will be black/silver)

To follow up, the experiment was remarkably successful. $0.18 in API tokens, and the LibreQoS configuration system is basically functional - loading everything, rendering it in the correct boxes. Another $0.02 wired up the save function (already existed in Rust). It even wired up the add/remove.

There's a little more snow than I thought! The ice walls from clearing the driveway are up to my shoulders!

Our daughter turned 3 today! We're iced in, so we've been baking, opening presents and playing with her new piano. If it keeps snowing, we'll be making snow creatures tomorrow.
