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.

We took the Scouts Dragon Boating in Warwick this evening. The weather forecast was dismal, but this is what we ended up with.
A random sign from #EMFCamp.

This morning I got my hands fairly scratched up picking over 2.5kg of gooseberries in our garden.
A project I've had on the go for a bit is setting up our Scout Hut as an air rifle range. Today I finally got the room set up, tested everything was set up safely, zeroed the rifles, and on Monday our Scouts will use it for the first time.
The blackberries are absolutely heaving with bees. There must be at least 50 buzzing away over there today.
Nearly two years after it was first announced, I've finally got my hands on an ESP32-H2. It's only an engineering sample, but I can at least start playing around with how it works and getting ready for when I can get a production one.

I replaced the battery in my MacBook Pro last night. A rather stressful experience (nail varnish, lithium ion batteries and ribbon cables).

But it's gone from lasting 10 minutes on a full charge to having been going for 4 hours so far and only being down to 40%.

Buoyed by that success, I removed and cleaned the sticky keys, and now it almost feels like new. Might have to keep the children off it to keep it that way!
