Literally had a small spider drop down in front of me while I was booking the train to Ledbury. It's already begun!

I love that there's a non-zero chance it's a descendent of the one I accidentally brought home in 2024. #EMFCamp

Short slow-mo clip from last weekends Combat Robotics NI event in Belfast.

ToeCutter (the grey bot) removes a wheel from Underhanded (black bot) and part of the arena wall. #RobotWars #BattleBots

It's a Stargate Universe soundtrack kind of day.

This really deserves a proper release. C'mon Amazon/MGM!

Pro tip: Check your debug LED is configured for output before spending an hour trying to figure out why a certain function wasn't running.

It was running the whole time.

Ugh.

Even a small pond in your garden will attract all kinds of strange wildlife. #DogsOfMastodon

Glad for my noisy little portable AC today, though it's struggling a bit now (green line, still rising).

I think I need to try hacking on a second hose for the air intake to stop it drawing in air from the rest of the house.

Twas a wee bit hot in the car. Ooch.

Anyone able to identify this IC from a small 12V AC light? The B924A1 code isn't turning anything up for me. I'm assuming it's some kind of constant current driver.

Hoping to modify it to run on a lower DC voltage.
