Trying some new shapes for pendents tonight.
I'm excited for the star shape for festive times. Getting red and green LEDs for those.
Possibly as gifts for tree decorations.
.Starting to wonder if adding a 2nd Cross bar under the batteries on the backs of the pieces would help make adding the vertical back bar less difficult. As well as helping the battery stay in better.
Trying some higher quality, thinner solder tomorrow to see if that helps, even a little.
@rixx You're.....reading it in Latin? π―
I have a new website with state-of-the-art design

Woah, this weekend was a busy one!
The hackspace has a Hack the Space weekend where we work on space in general and infrastructure improvements.
I started Saturday at 9am and finished it at 8pm, then went down for a couple hours on Sunday too.
We built another workstation/table for Electronics, built a holder for tubes of ICs and fitted some LED strip lighting above the desks.
Friends did some sorting of our component stock, and testing of our large electronics test equipment.
I wrote a blog post about a recent impromptu talk I did about making physical stuff!!
I'm a bit late sharing because I had to write a GitHub action so I could compile my website so I could deploy it with the new post.....

@freyja_wildes PostmarketOS have a bunch of ports for various tablets in various states of "working well".
But those that do work have proper DEs most of the time, Gnome, KDE....
@danielle Which thinkpad do you have?
Need a new laptop soon, can't decide which thinkpad to buy.
@danielle Congrats! From electro, or laser? Or both!
