The Mac's 40th birthday is coming up Real Soon Now. So I've updated the build-it-yourself Christmas ornament to celebrate! :D :apple_inc:

Okay, the new year's work has officially begun. We've had the delightfully vague request ‘is there a better colour scheme we could use'. Excellent. 🎨

@thomasfuchs Inside the Personal Computer — A Pop-up Guide. It's very cute and really nicely done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhHWF67--is

So... having posted a handful of videos to the youtubes over the past few days... wowzers, it's a completely different type of platform.

The wind seems to have blown all the intertubes away overnight. 💩

Sixteen hours, you say?

Eight hours in and they still expect it to be fixed in 16 hours.

@thomasfuchs I'm just getting a big black rectangle of nothing. It's showing solidarity with Windows.

My first mistake was thinking it would be a good idea to turn on the Windows computer.

My second mistake was turning on the Windows computer.

My third mistake was thinking I'd just quickly print something.

Now I'm here, nothing but a pile of mistakes.

#HeatPump update, now that it's been up and running for several months, and now that we've had a frosty day down near freezing.

I set the thermostat to 19°C in August, and it's had no problems keeping the house at around 19° ever since.

As expected, electricity use has increased as the days have gotten cooler, and efficiency has decreased a bit as the air has gotten colder, but it's still chugging away at like 300% efficiency.

@polpo @DosFox @thomasfuchs D'awwww, I miss these guys!

So #ShittyCameraChallenge is here again, just in time for a used Diana Mini half-frame 35mm camera to have arrived :D

Ran a roll of cheap 12-frame (which is 24 in this puppy!) aliexpress film through it. Developed that using the coffee-developer recipe from @ericsedge and scanned on my flatbed with an iPad for the backlight.

The images are terrible but also wonderful. And I have a squeegee on order. 📸

@thomasfuchs how could it not be? >.<

Wait. The T*sla Cy*erT*uck actually looks like that? These aren't just silly things that the internet has made? 🤮

#CatPrinter making floppy disk stickers! 💾

@mac84tv Can we add more stickers? Can we add more design? YES WE CAN!
