@Geojoek @n6cta @kr1st Reading that LinHT will do SSB on UHF. Hoping for a dual band version in the future as well. Lots of fun ahead on that project. #HardwareIsHard #HamRadio

Can you identify the moment when I moved the cable that was blocking the case fan blades? 🤔

Everyone say it with me:

Multi-controller I2C **NEVER** ends well

Note: I did not do this, someone's debugging something and strongly implying to me this exists

#HardwareIsHard

Reminder: Multiple screen sessions open to the same serial port results in WEIRD stickiness in the serial port interaction.

This gets much better when you realize what you've done and stop doing it.

Well #HardwareIsHard strikes again

Rebuilt a Middle Atlantic network + local control PDU, sent it off to my parents and when I went to fire it up there it was DOA.

*sigh* ok, I had replaced some caps but not all probably the others went bad in transit.

Sent it back home

Just got it, and started tearing it apart, found some things had come loose, fine, took out the board, was doing some testing, put it all back together aaaaand...

...

Works fine again. I guess I'll send it back to my parents, and probably need to have someone do some onhands stuff there. Fun times.

OK, file this under "Things I never thought I would be doing again..." but ah, for #marchintosh

The HyperCard 2.4.1 Installer image is monster 45 _megs_ of crap you don't need. Extracted it all, moved across systems and took out just what is needed for install on a System 7.1 Mac, then created an new image and re-stuffed with 1.5.1 into a 32k _kilobyte_ file. About to upload this to the Garden for others to enjoy.
