We painted this room. Still need to get up the stairs. Had to scrape a lot of paint and wallpaper off.

Recently finished this corset: ,

Painting in progress:

I am trying to restore a typing machine. Unfortunately I have forgotten to make a picture from the front when it was still in one piece.

Knitting a pair of socks for my spouse.

It’s from a single skein of yarn that goes from light gray to gray to black. I split the skein up so both socks would end up being the same gray on the leg part, but it’s taking longer to get to the gray than I’d planned so they may have a pair of mismatched socks.

Edit: I can’t html tonight

I very recently started making my own headphones. It turns out you can just buy headphone parts, so I ordered some AKG drivers, Grado headband and gimbal rings, brainwavs pads, and a few other parts. Still waiting on some parts but I’ve CAD’ed up some of the cans and the pad adapters, hopefully going to print some later tonight. My Lemmy app is kinda shitty and I’ve never been able to upload pics in comments but I’ll try and add them when I’m at my computer later. I’m making them somewhat modular so I can try out different combinations of drivers, pads, and can geometry. Initially all the structure will be 3D printed but later I might mill out some nice hardwood once I find a design that I like.

Okay, so not “in progress”, but here’s my last keyboard. Used lots of tools available to the keyboard community, but I laser cut the plate that holds the switches (and the one for the bottom, but that was no big deal), designed and 3D printed the side case, hand-wired the keys’ matrix, configured the keyboard software for the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller, and used infusible ink and the laser to turn blank keycaps into custom ones.

I’m developing a videogame where you have to grow to become the largest organism on you planet, as a colony of trees. Inspired by Pando on earth. I work part time and alone, so it’s slow going. Full release planned in 3y.

I just finished installing an air horn on my truck. Certainly louder which was my goal, but it’s higher pitched than I was expecting. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Still have the OEM horn to replace if it’s annoying.

I built this web page because the range estimator in the F150 Lightning is dog shit. I keep adding little features here and there. Really would help any EV specifically Teslas since we know their range estimate is terrible too, but I drive a Lightning so it’s biased towards it. I have one more feature I intend to add then I’m going to start learning how to turn it into mobile apps.

I’m 3D printing and painting new models for our Frosthaven games. Here’s a picture of the last game we played

And for context, this is what that scenario looks like without my deluxificarion:

I’m slowly building a 3d printer using an Ldo Voron Trident kit.

I’m currently trying to start an online business selling puzzles. It’s taking up my every waking second I’m not spending with my daughter.

Starting a business is exhausting…

I’m very slowly making a Rain World mod. It’s supposed to be a recreation of planet Zebes from Super Metroid and Zero Mission.

I’m working on a system which allows people to get synchronized/coordinated reminders about anything on a daily basis. It’s just a Rust library ATM, but I might make it into a website or an app eventually (or someone else can, since the algorithm is like 10 lines of code and in public domain). https://github.com/TypicalHog/randevu

What does this thing solve? Imagine a game (perhaps obscure/dead one) you and some other people really like, but there’s never enough people playing it at the same time for it to function (imagine it’s a multiplayer game). People could add the game to the list and the game would be featured to everyone who has it on their list of items on the same days. Let’s say once a month or once a year etc. This would allow people to all come play/appreciate/discuss the game on the same days instead of each person randomly remembering it and playing it alone on random days when no one else is. The system also works for movies, videos, books, websites, people, servers and literally ANYTHING else. It also works offline with no internet connection. The system assigns each item a “significance” value each day. Values range from 0 to infinity and each value happens 2 times less often than the previous. For example: 0 happens every single day, 1 about every 2 days (on average), 2 every 4 days, 3 -> 8, 4 -> 16, 5 -> 32 and so on. So imagine a system assigned value 5 to some game today. Every single person who has set their “reminder/significance” threshold to 5 or below for that game will get a reminder about it. And if enough people do so - one can expect that game to have surges of activity every now and then (when its significance number is high). The system essentially “scoops up” everyone who’s interested in something and directs them towards it on the same days. I’m sorry if this is confusing, but the system is actually super simple, I just might be bad at explaining it.

Here’s a visual analogy:

Imagine if each object had a board like one in the picture. The system throws a dart randomly somewhere on the board for each object every day. The section where the dart lands determines the level of significance that’s assigned to that object. Note that the dart lands on completely different place for different objects like MINECRAFT, XONOTIC and THE_MATRIX_1999. But, for each person using the system, the dart will land on the exact same spot for the same item. So if a dart lands on the section with the number 4 for the object THE_SIMPSONS - every single user who has THE_SIMPSONS on their list will “see” that the dart landed on 4 that day. And like I said - anyone who has their reminder threshold set to 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 will have THE_SIMPSONS featured that day. Once again, the system isn’t actually throwing virtual darts on a colorful board and is actually just spitting a single number for each item each day, but this visualization is IMO a good abstraction that explains the system.
