Right? I thought I was in /c/[email protected] for a minute.

Just some examples of things I’ve printed or plan to. Ones marked with an asterisk (*) at the end are ones I largely or entirely designed myself or plan to largely or entirely design myself. Ones marked with a plus (+) are ones that are half completed. Minuses (-) are ones I haven’t started yet but intend to.

• Wall mounts for Nintendo Switch components (dock, controllers, Joycon charger, etc.) Definite space saver. *
• Wall mount for a Raspberry-Pi-based NAS solution. *
• Parts to augment a computer chassis wall mount for my ridiculously-large chassis. (Yes, there’s a bit of a pattern there.) *
• A custom Raspberry Pi case that mounts nicely and nondestructively to my desk.
• A custom adapter for my drill that let me run the drain in my washing machine when the motor was broken. *
• A custom plate to cover my nightstand clock face so it doesn’t shine in my eyes all night. *
• A custom die for a Sizzix Die Cutting Machine for quilting use. (That one took a lot of work.) *
• A custom tool for precisely bending 16mm steel strapping (which I’d sharpened into a blade) in service to the custom die just above. *
• Custom yarn bowls for my crafty mother. *
• Custom stitch markers for my crafty mother. *
• Custom barrel buttons for my crafty mother. *
• A couple of custom mounts for SAD lamps. *
• Custom shelving for a bathroom. *
• Custom mods for some wire shelving in the same bathroom. *
• Custom mount for a reflector mirror to let me see more with the security camera on my front porch. *
• A tool for straightening 3D-printing filament. *
• Spacers for mounting a peg board on the wall.
• I also had a folding door that broke and got kinda janky. I had a few extra of those peg board spacers, and they turned out coincidentally to be exactly the right size to properly shore up that door.
• Custom shelving for DVDs/Blurays and video games. *+
• A custom shelf-drawer for my mousepad. *-
• A custom 3D printed mechanical keyboard… once I’m done writing the program for rapidly prototyping 3D-printed keyboards. *+

I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch. And the above is only the useful things and excluding the mostly art/fun items.

I have in mind to do more 3D-printing of tools. I don’t have much specifically in mind. But that custom steel strapping bender is pretty cool. Also, some of what I mentioned above is available on my Thingiverse.

Oh sweet. I’ve been hearing how great this talk was and looking for a place where I could watch a video of it. Thanks.

I will never understand why an almost-entirely-text-with-a-few-images blog entry (that’s not even all that long) cannot scroll at a rate of even 1fps on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Bookmarked that shit so fuckin’ hard.

Curl.

You mean “Em—Dash”?

Ooo. Did this article get swamped with traffic and go down? I can’t access it right now.

Archive in case it’s down for others.

2026 is going to be the year of GPL enforcement. In a good way.

I ran across Kuhn’s blog post about how he was diagnosed with diabetes just the other day on Mastodon. What a wild followup.

Check your spam folder. I don’t know that I’ve ever not received an email I was supposed to have received and found that the spam folder was actually the issue. But it’s still a good idea to check it in case that’s the whole issue.

Got an LG TV years ago. The Wifi broke within like two months. Honestly, it’s a blessing, because it hasn’t been connected to the internet since.

Instead I got a Chromecast and a Xumo which spy on me instead. :\

Hey thank you! I’m glad to hear some interest in it. I’ve definitely got ideas as far as how I’d like to see it improve moving forward (some syntactic sugar, more sophisticated ways of drawing “people”/creatures/skeletons/etc, maybe vector graphics output support – no project is ever really done, you know.) I’m on another project at the moment, but if it got enough interest, I’d probably be inclined to put more work into it.

I don’t have a TTRPG campaign running right now (which is what I wrote it for), so I’m not “eating my own dog food” very much with that particular project. But I would love to do more with it. Only reason I’m not already is because I’ve got so many other projects I want to work on. Heh.

The main project I’m working on lately has been that 3D game assets DSL that I mentioned later in my post. It’s probably quite a bit more ambitious than codecomic (it’s actually Turing complete which definitely adds to the challenge), but I do see a point approaching where it’s feature-complete enough to at least publish an alpha version. It also definitely needs a lot more code comments/documentation before I publish. Probably still months away, but it feels a lot closer than it did last week. Heh.

Anyway, thanks again for the complement!

“You?” As in me? I’m confused.

Ah. Ok. I did watch it at double speed, so I guess I can’t really argue.

What was wrong with the video exactly?

I heartily approve.

Underrated.

Cura’s a fantastic slicer, but kindof a terrible program. They gave up on ARM support a while ago. And their dependency situation is majorly out of control. To the point that Gentoo has literally given up on supporting it and maintaining a working package.

Because fuck you, that’s why.
