Ooh, this reupholstering will be doable for sure. The beading on this is just stapled on the edge of the cushions. And everything is screwed together with wood screws. Need to acquire foam. The stuff in here is actually quite terrible and cheap. Thin cheap vinyl. Also have to figure out buttons. 🤔#reupholstering #diy #project

Okay, additional tool acquired for furniture reupholstery project. Singer 201 sewing machine. Runs, but needs to be oiled. Apparently it was working but now not moving correctly... clearly a lubrication issue. Will appy teak oil to the furniture part while waiting for sewing machine oil to arrive. No hardware stores in town stock it anymore (did not check the going out of business fabric store, though... heard it was pretty picked over). #project #diy #sewing

Recently traveled interstate so my partner could see a concert and in doing so discovered that a band I love had come to Australia a couple of years ago and I had no idea. So this morning's #project was ensuring that never happens again using #nodered

Once a week, it'll pull Last.fm's events page for my city and a giant radius around Melbourne/Sydney/Canberra, then try to match events against all of the artists in my music server. Any new matches will be posted to fedi with my user tagged so I get a notification.
Two fediverse posts, of the format "Found an upcoming event for (band), details here: (last.fm link)" The two bands are The Wombats and Bloc Party.

🛠️🤓 Ever wanted to zap air with electricity in your garage for the pure joy of pretending you're a mad scientist? Look no further! This #DIY guide promises to turn nitrogen into a homemade #science fair project—minus the safety precautions. 🔥✨

Arduino Blog · This DIY experimental reactor harnesses the Birkeland-Eyde process | Arduino BlogNitrogen is critical for farming at scale and without some form of nitrogen to enrich the soil, we couldn’t grow staple crops efficiently enough to feed our large global population. Serious science goes into the production of fertilizers and the Birkeland-Eyde process was one early example. It uses electrical arcs to turn nitrogen in the […]

BassBoom and Terminaux support updates

We are thrilled to announce that BassBoom and Terminaux support periods have been updated to reflect the latest planned changes. Those changes are currently internal when it comes to extensive details, and may change at any time based on internal reviews. We know that software development can sometimes introduce unexpected challenges at some point, so we’ve made this decision in regards to future support periods for BassBoom and Terminaux.

Starting from the next generation of BassBoom, which we’ll talk about in detail as we’re getting closer to release, and Terminaux 7.0, we’ll follow the below support schedule:

  • Every two major versions of BassBoom in the 1.x series will receive long term support of up to five years. In between those versions a version series that will get one year of support.
  • The same can be described in Terminaux version 7.0 or higher, except that support is focused upon the major version series and odd/even numbering. For example, Terminaux version 8.0 gets five years of support, while 7.0 gets one year of support.

BassBoom 0.2.x series will continue getting support until the next-gen version gets released under a different library, at which both libraries will be promoted to the 1.x version series. As a result, we’re dropping the September 16th date and making the support run indefinitely until we’re ready to release the new BassBoom. While we can’t reveal the release date of the final version of the new BassBoom, we are making sure that everything goes according to plan.

The documentation will be updated soon to adjust to this change.

As it's the youngest's 13th birthday, today, I pulled out all the stops and finished off that #LaserCut rocket ship light I showed the prototype of, back last autumn. Just finished mounting it on the wall... He seems to like it! The power cord has since been strapped to the wall for extra neatness and safety, though the LEDs are low voltage 12v so don't present much of a safety hazard. #maker #project

Laser cut rocket light, made from layered 2mm birch ply with COB led strip light embedded. The rocket is bullet shaped with swept back "wings" and angular portals in the bow portion. A massive exhaust flare emanates from the rocket nacelle, providing the main source of light. It is pictured on the wall above 13YO's pine bed headboard.

Going down the #Nostalgia highway today whilst I work on a small personal #Project to help me at my day job.

Making a #Tool that can make #Reports when I take a call from clients and co-workers to help me be more #Organized
Basically a glorified #Form collector that will save each file to my #NextCloud drive for easy sync and backups.

The nostalgia today will be brought by the band #Creed and their music from their 1997 album #MyOwnPrison

Making Projects Better

Making our projects better than before is one of our most important things that we have planned to do. We have improved the build system across all projects by introducing the tools repository on GitHub that is used as a submodule. Our strategy for this plan is to make sure that all our projects get the highest quality possible, while aiming for more.

Announcements for new release of our flagship projects will be made every major version or a version that is worth talking about. Not only updates will be done, but projects that are new to the programming industry will be made to allow developers to have more options according to the program.

Recently, we have started improving the documentation of the Terminaux project for the upcoming release. We have currently restructured the cyclic writer documentation so that a single page is split to multiple pages by category. This helps find information more quickly.

In the second half of the year, we are planning to introduce changes to our work plans so that we’d be more open. Confirmed additions, improvements, and other updates will be added to every repository’s GitHub Projects, straight from the internal information. This is to let the users know of the roadmap of all our projects in a more transparent manner.

After the release of the upcoming Nitrocid version series, we’ll make sure that other projects get their own development time as we are striving to improve them with new features and other general improvements. Because the upcoming version of Nitrocid is currently in a stage where it needs to be adjusted for the next Terminaux version, a beta program will be introduced. This is to gain feedback from developers and users, and we listen to all feedback!

Making sure that we fulfill our promises to you, we’ll keep you informed of any new updates regarding our projects. Meanwhile, normal development for all projects will start on April 6th, and we hope that we introduce you to new, exciting features. Are you ready for the most exciting moments?
