XKCD nails it again ... *so* good:
So I think I'm going to take the plunge and buy a 3d printer specifically with the intention of printing enclosures for my electronic projects... any suggestions?
To all the #dmr #amateurradio ops here on #mastodon. Check out this video from Ham Radio 2.0 (KC5HWB) on the 3.5 inch TGIF spot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cQ_lEjr7pM
A nice little frequency counter project suitable for #HAM bands

By the looks of it this spike in new users we are seeing is the biggest one we have seen this year since the wave of users from India joined us. It's around 200 new users per day right now.
Welcome to all the new users! Don't forget to make an #introduction so I can share it.
Beware of the glthubs.com phishing attacks. I nearly fell for this one.
The only thing that saved my bacon is that I should already be logged in! Then I noticed the funny-looking domain name.
I have started working on my ROES SWR meter again. Hope to finish the v2 of the project in the next week and get some PCBs printed.
This has been int he making a long time now. Always wanted a super high-tech SWR meter.

Yea I just double checked to make sure my memory was correct, it was... links represent voting pair agreement. when two people vote the same they get a link, the more they vote the same the thicker the link. This apparently is then organized with a graph drawing algorithm, likely force-directed by the looks of it.
Here is the original video it comes from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEczkhfLwqM
==The Mage's Tower==
In misty lands that the pale moonlight brings,
There stands a tavern where it shines and it sings.
In this warm place eternal laughter does flow;
with a smile for each of the winds that will blow.
To seek this land out less must be so much more,
then set yourself free to drift to night’s shore.
The familiar road finds unfamiliar friends door,
filled with mirth, merriment, magick, and lore.
When ready to pass open wide wooden gate,
a cool wind then blows that shows one their fate.
The room there well lit by passion’s great fire,
it’s smoke will hang thick from our love’s own desire.
There in the sky dances god borealis,
and there on the bar sits the bust of the Pallas.
But never there seen is the raven of yore,
for only the wise can be king evermore.
There in the corner stands a gargoyle’s head,
where out of it’s mouth flows hot earthen lead.
Into a dirt cup it’s flow does seek end,
but as shining gold it does then transcend.
The food and the drink shared to all those around,
Not one to the other was any one bound.
With plates of clear manna that did sparkle white,
and cups of ambrosia kept full through the night.
Here pixie’s dust used in shakers to fill,
and surely dragon tails do remain in there still.
For what fool would eat from a dragon’s great tail,
only to have all of their passions fail.
Moon’s magick glow fills the room well dispersed,
While time’s wanting path remains untraversed.
The moments found here are well unrehearsed;
The truth is abound, not found interspersed.
In this place here exists just the one,
Embrace silver moon, to become golden sun.
Odal reunites ancient gods of the night,
to let us be one, so we shine with their light.

I really need to get back into poetry, I was getting half decent there for a minute...
Day 16 in quarantine....
Dough, an ingredient, a bread ingredient.
Ray, a graphical vector
Me, a group, a Methyl group
Far, a distance relative
Sow, a thing botanists do
La, is short for Lagrange point
T, we use it to mean time
and that will bring us back to dough dough dough....
