I thought I cleaned it up at the time and it was fine, but recently it decided it was done being fine

Replacement power switch and lights for my computer after it finally got unhappy that I spilled tea on the front panel a few months ago

I swear I tested my keyboard cable before replacing the entire fucking microcontroller, but I'm testing it after doing that and the cable 100% doesn't work

(cables should have "0" resistance, not "1" resistance)

Update: the microcontroller was not the problem. But I now know some things about I2C communications between the two keyboard halves that seems to be causing the issue

I have successfully removed the microcontroller! ....Hopefully that's actually the problem or I'm gonna feel bad about the damage I did to this thing getting it out

Time to attempt repairing my fancy keyboard, which stopped working for mysterious-but-not-surprising reasons, considering it was literally taped together

My guiding philosophy on this project is "use as little JavaScript as possible" so it hurts, but also Howler.js solves the problem cross browser audio very effectively

And this is the story of the first JavaScript Library I'm including in my website

Me: Modern browsers are so consistent, I'm sure by now working with audio in JavaScript isn't a nightmare

Chrome: lol

Sometimes you start what was supposed to be a simple website update and then you're three sub-projects deep and trying to build your own music player

Fantasy setting that uses mushrooms as currency, however due to inflation surpassing supply governments are adopting the use of non-fungus tokens.

This is met with opposition by those who believe in the importance of the mold standard

There may come a day when I sleep the night before work travel instead of packing until literally the moment I walk out the door.

That day is not this day

Once you know the pieces involved, working with geospacial data in graphics tools is....easy??

I've documented the scripts and workflows I use with Blender, in case that's something anyone ever needs to do #b3d

After four years of trying to shove geospacial data into graphics tools I finally feel like I have a solid understanding of the toolsets and processes involved and it's my favorite

(pictured, on of my rare non-ocean datasets following nav from the cutest small airplane)

I just discovered my favorite digiKam feature: correct photo timestamps by taking a picture of a clock

That plus GPS correlation let's me basically shoot chaos and still get geotagged photos

Best hardware to watch https://www.twitch.tv/ninamarie play Haunted PS1 demo disc

....ok, the TV is the best, but the first gen Raspberry Pi really doesn't like decoding web video

This is The Worst Computer I Have Ever Owned and it makes me immensely happy

(yes the VCR is an important part of it)

Tim are you ever gonna stop posting volcano screenshots?
