Did go to the library, got new books, got access to online magazines and spok to new people. Also tested out my hooded jacket in rain for the first time! Succesful outing anyway. #libray #bookstodon #knitting

I get escapism. I do. I mean I'm sitting here doing my #libray loan haul for the week. But....I don't do drugs and have sex with characters in my #books (Although I'd do The Gunslinger in a heartbeat) #tech #vr https://www.wired.com/story/60-hour-dance-sessions-simulated-sex-and-ketamine-inside-the-world-of-hardcore-vr-ravers/
60-Hour Dance Sessions, Simulated Sex, and Ketamine: Inside the World of Hardcore VR Ravers

VR Clubbing has exploded since Covid-19 lockdowns, with enthusiasts doing drugs and finding friends and love in an inclusive environment. But some say the convenience is making it harder to control their vices.

Jump forward in time to 2017, and my sweaty big palms are opening a big letter with an Oxford postmark on it, the contents of which is a letter telling me I'd passed the course and had been awarded a Masters degree. The Manic Street Preachers are so right: libraries really do give us power. 📖📚

Seem to be going through a spate of reading the #PhryneFisher mysteries by #Author Kerry Greenwood. Found a few in the #Libray I'd not read before, one is an e-book so about 138 pages in so far.

Test of my experimental configuration for my disk duplicator control program -- I'm using Vokoscreen with my webcam setup not on my face, but capturing the disk duplicator.

And the application on the right is VSCodium, which I'll be using as my development and testing environment.

This way, I will be able to set up a test program to run in the terminal panel and have video of the device's response, captured together. This should be a perfect setup for reverse-engineering what the codes do.

I just set this up to do a proof-of-principle, but it looks like it will work.

The next piece I have to round up is my Python USB module -- I have one I downloaded from Adafruit a few years ago that should be perfect for this. I just have to dig around in my files to locate it.

"And someone who still chooses vocational awe, knowing all that, is not an ally. They are not in solidarity with their fellow workers. And no, that choice does not deserve respect."
