I caved in and ordered Z80 chips.
I wasn't going to. I had decided that I was going to just use modern chips from now on. Why make things artificially difficult? But going to EMF and seeing all the unnecessary but cool things people had made reminded me that actually, I really like messing around with Z80s.
So I've ordered a few more chips, and I'll revive my old projects and see what I can come up with.
This is my first attempt at a "case" for my Tildagon badge. It includes a bit that goes behind the screen to stop it getting pushed back. Having chamfered edges around the led hexagons means it lights up really nicely in the dark. I might try printing it in transparent PLA next.
Oops, logged onto Twitter, and now I'm angry.
(I don't often go there any more - since they changed to logo I don't notice it, which is nice. I'm not sure if it's because the new logo is dark and boring, or because I just don't recognise it and don't have the knee-jerk response to click on it when I see it.)
Reminded of the “Kurt Vonnegut goes to buy an envelope” quote. One of the best expressions of the joys of careful and deliberate inefficiency I’ve read.
Posted as image because the alt text has a higher character limit than a toot so I can paste the whole text as actual text there. Weird huh.
