#introduction
Hi, I'm a masc-y enby Dane living near #Geelong. I've called Australia home for almost 12 years.
I have been writing software professionally for ~20 years in a wife variety of programming languages; including but not limited to: C/C++, C#, Python, JavaScript, Rust, Go, Erlang, VBScript.
I've worked in a range of different industries but have had most fun when the outcome was to enrich peoples lives.
Occasionally I'll post about my #beagles on #DogsOfFedi #DogsOfMastodon (see photo attached for dog tax)
I'd like to do more #electronics and #embedded projects both in my free time and at work. So I keep my #kicad, #freecad and #RustEmbedded/ #RustLang skill trees full of points.
#BoardGames are often being played with my wife and friends.
Trying to find #ttrpg buddies for afk play
I don't post much about #baking or #sourdough, but I have a starter that I've kept around for a number of years now. My wife and I make pizzas and burgers weekly. We both love cooking and entertaining guests with elaborate meals.
I used to do a lot of #SCUBA #diving before 2020 came around. I even trained to be an open water instructor.
I dream of a #SolarPunk future and to live in a society where hate doesn't fill every heart with darkness.
Recently picked up #LockPicking as a fiddle activity while waiting for $job things compiling (Building #NixOS on aarch64 takes a long time)
Wish to ditch my phone for an open computing platform and I secretly want to develop an OS too but that does require a lot of spoons that I currently don't possess.

Today #CERN released its #KiCad component library to the public.
They are licensed CERN-OHL-P-2.0
Thank you OSPO ❤️ for getting this done.
Originally the library is made in Altium and will also be maintained in Altium. The repo only contains files that have been automatically converted.
It is a database library which contains only fully specified parts. There are lots of weird connectors. Have fun exploring.

KiCad 10 is released!
Whilst we await our own significant releases, we wanted to take an opportunity to congratulate our wider open source family members, KiCad, on the recent release of KiCad version 10.

New vid! #PCBs I made in 2025, part 1: LED charm ✨

Finally pulled together a prototype with this little board – one of my new #Charmware set, reviving the series of modular tech #jewelry bits I started back in 2018. Been dreaming of assembling these with elytra and bike-leather, and the day finally came... The board still needs some tweaks (smaller switch etc.), but with my fixed-up #KiCad workflow, those will be a snap. 😸
