I already have way too many hobbies, but the idea of cat girl warhammer 40k might get me into painting miniatures.
Fixed the track, and made the Big Boy pull a long coal train

I put a decent circle of track on the floor and got the full American railroad experience (derailing cars because of bad track pieces, cars needing maintenance, bad couplers.)
No, this is the N scale Kato one
And on the move

I got a tiny Big Boy locomotive. It was on my wishlist for quite a while, and my local train shop happened to still have one.
Haha, this is great. Well done. And I’d love to read the blogpost about how you did it.
I don't think I'm going to bother solving that problem, I got Cellz in a kit with a nifty case and I'll just put it back into that.
I want to use this one as a testbed for my own modules. And I guess I'll have to make something to sequence CV.
A case segment on a table
This is what the interior looks like, a ridge/slot for the transverse direction, and a bolted connection for the longitudinal direction.
It turns out that Cellz really needs a 5V supply, which the power module I got for this case does not have. In my main case I replaced it with a keystep pro.
A gray matte building with a F unit and two Erie boxcars in front of it
I designed and 3d printed a building for my model railroad. I went for abandoned concrete warehouse. I think it looks nice, but I do need to research the architecture and dimensions of industrial buildings some more for the next one.
It is the most annoying part about Nikons, everything else goes in the right direction
A case with black ends and handles, with bright colored parts in between. It’s filled with eurorack modules
I needed a eurorack synth case which was a bit more portable, so I designed a modular 3d printed case.
I got a D100 and was amazed how good it still was. A bit later I picked up a D70 for about the same you payed, and converted it to take infrared photos: bsky.app/profile/mifu...
I got my CLK module to blink again. This time programmed in rust
That looks amazing. Yeah, I understand why you're getting Ideas.
I feel that, every time I want to start building a layout I get some parts and other things happen. I lose the time and energy to build something and I have trains gathering dust. But I really want to build one.
Was there anything really inspirational you've seen?
What I would really like to see come out of the discord announcement is a replacement that I could install and run myself on a physical server. Like I could do with IRC and a computer running as fast as a potato.
3D printing is the future!
(I just had to clean the buildplate of my printer with water and soap because my prints suddenly stopped sticking to it)
Happy Birthday!
Yes, I lifted traces and otherwise destroyed two boards trying to fix it. I’m happy it works now.
A module made out of printed circuit boards with a big label 555. Soldering stuff and a cable is laying around it.
I got the right potentiometers today, and I found the 555 timers I ordered years ago. I soldered two modules, tested them, and discovered that I connected a pin of the timer incorrectly.
Soldering two more modules with a cut trace and a bodge later and I have a working synthesizer module.
A bright led connected to a portable usb-c bench power supply
And the small pcb works!
A couple of black and white pcbs on a desk
Got my first pcbs in ages in. I designed a eurorack module, a pmod with shift registers and LEDs, and a small board with an smd LED for model railroad use.
My hackerspace is in an old office/warehouse filled with artist spaces and small creative companies. It’s not really downtown, but it’s a great location. The downside is that we might have to leave in 2028 if they want to demolish it and replace it with a too expensive apartment complex.

A wide platform
Another experiment with using 35mm film in a medium format camera. I made my own 120 roll by taping film to a paper backing and rolling it up in an dark changing bag. And then putting it in a Fuji GSW690ii.
If you want high precision you use the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). If you want to be really precise you can also use CERN's White Rabbit
Or getting written about by a pc gaming website…

The corner of a concrete parking garage with a security camera attached to it. Leica M4 and Fomapan 200

Two swans swimming in a canal in Delft, with typical old Dutch houses in the background. Made with a Fuji GSW690ii on Kodak Gold
I mostly use the three speeds of Fomapan for B&W, stand developed in HC110. in 35mm and 120, for about 6 euro per roll. Color is whatever expired stuff I still have. Kodak Gold if it has to be good, for about 13 euro per roll plus 8 for 1 hour development.
