New here? Remember that Twitter is optimized to make you into passive consumers, by en(r/g)aging you with content that you don't choose yourself.

Here, that doesn't happen. But it also means you're responsible to find people to follow.

It will take some work.

If you're willing to put that in, you'll find a wide variety of friendly people that will be happy to have meaningful conversions and laugh and cry together with you.

Start by searching and looking at who other people follow.

Got the computer from AliExpress fwiw

It also does GPIO which may come in handy to hook it up to the clamshell observatory motors; those have a serial connection too but it’s all weird and I have to reverse-engineer the protocol. Maybe easier to just use GPIO signals and hook into the board of the clamshell controller directly. Yet an other project, oy veh.

Yo dawg I heard you like serial ports

(This is a new Core i7 computer that runs Windows 10 for controlling my telescope and astronomy hardware which uses serial connections. It’s ruggedized and fanless so i can install it in my observatory that’s exposed to desert temperatures and dust.)

Anyway here’s a cat

Adding two work/play-stations to our media room. Piano will live elsewhere until I can find a desk with a piano drawer.

Not sure if I should put this on my keys or on eBay

PSA I’m fine, just taking a social media sabbatical

Well those hedge fund managers should have not bought those expensive iPhones and go to Starbucks all the time
