Spent the last few days cleaning up my cellar. https://i.imgur.com/SdJfZVj.jpeg I bought some wall-mounted shelves for all the mid-size items that are too small for the big shelves and too big for the drawers. The drawers have mostly small parts like screws, bolts, and small tools, all neatly organized in 3d-printed bins. I put a countertop on the three containers to make this a small electronics workbench. The small parts organizers on top of the workbench have all my micro-controller stuff.

Yesterday, when I was starting a 3d-printing job, I was wondering why there was a funny plastic-y smell and why it took so long for the heat bed to heat up. A quite toasty surprise https://i.imgur.com/2O2CJsk.jpeg

Created a BlueSky account before someone grabs my user name. https://bsky.app/profile/adiwan.bsky.social I don't know how much I'll use it.

I'm realizing that I need more upbeat and funky music. My MP3 player is full of orchestral soundtracks. I like them for sure but it's quite one-sided right now. Something with high energy like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRlcs7MI0uY&list=OLAK5uy_nq91NTOs3Pj9IdQOWyE_iVM_sPhqZVVAE&index=13

I guess I listened too much Final Fantasy music recently. On youtube I found amazing Japanese people who play incredibly well on an electric organ called "electone". Like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_-HKoUO9ow and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cvF6OvobbA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWqOo6kPuJY

Bought a new wrist watch. It isn't my ideal watch but it is half-way there. Doesn't have solar, the layout of the face could be slightly different, and the seconds are a little bit too close to the minutes and are a little bit too big without them having a sufficient gap to the minutes. Also the day of the week could be smaller. At least it isn't looking like some designer puked all the wrist with a design for the sake of being obnoxiously different. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mW5ngdqdL._AC_SX425_.jpg

This is the mockup https://i.imgur.com/h6hLDPJ.png Tomorrow I'll receive the last few parts and then I can start printing the case.

Modeled and 3d-printed myself some magnetic cable ties https://i.imgur.com/UFqgqBa.jpeg I want to use them to manage my cables under my desk. My go-to one will be the one on the left that can be attached around the corner of a square metal tube. The ones on my desk are very slim so the flat one has barely any surface to hang to.

My Black Krim tomatoes are developing quite well https://i.imgur.com/hfyJOLp.jpeg

I bought the graphic novel "The New Girl" by Cassandra Calin https://www.amazon.com/New-Girl-Graphic-Novel/dp/1338762451/ . I know her art from her webcomic https://tapas.io/series/CassandraComics/info . Good thing I had French in school as it spared me to look up the "translations" on the back. I mean it was very loosely translated to match the approximate meaning at the time when it was spoken. It lacked some nuance and further definition. I don't want to bash that, just noting.
For all it's worth it is a great book. I was greatly entertained although I am not a 12 year old Romanian girl suffering menstrual cramps and having a crush on a boy. I mean despite of all I can empathize with her very well despite me being a straight man. It impressed me that for its price it's fully colored and being full of detail in every panel.

I forgot to make some nice pictures. I was 3d-printing a flame frame for a "neon" LED strip. I modeled it myself. A family member wanted one and paid for it with filament https://i.imgur.com/jseJK3i.jpeg

It took me 3 hours to dig out this 40-50 year old rhododendron bush stump https://i.imgur.com/AbYRYNI.jpeg The roots were super nasty. They were as thick as branches. I had to literally dig in with my hand saw and cut the roots under ground.

Complete! https://i.imgur.com/8WSgOVB.jpeg It looks simple but it took longer than anticipated but fast enough before the days are over when there are frosty temperatures at night.

I'm 3d-printing myself a grid inlay for a new box I acquired for my miniature paints. With this grid inlay I can insert compatible tiles that won't shift when the box is moved. I want to print this https://www.printables.com/model/638320-parametric-gridfinity-paint-rack for all my Army Painter paints and generic open boxes for my brushes and other random stuff. I could print specific containers for a few things but it'd be overkill.

Cool! KDE 6 is finished and the features look cool. https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/ I wait until Debian releases their updated packages and see if my old Thinkpad X201 still works.
