On nights I'm a hacker and licensed #HamRadio op since 1999. Currently learning about #HF and #digimode (#ft8, #js8call, #vara). I try to do #pota and #wwff activations whenever possible.

On days I'm co-founder and R&D lead (#rustlang) on cybersecurity startup.

It's time to start packing my backpack.

Soon I'll head into OHFF-1101 to take part of SSA Portabeltest and do WWFF activation.

I can't self spot myself during Portabeltest so find me on bands.

I personally believe that most effective way to speed up CW receiving is by practicing ICR (Instant Character Recognition). This method has had the largest effect on my receiving. Even short practices seem to have noticeable effect.

I previously released iOS App for this and now it is available as web based. Remember to use physical keyboard!

Go a head and try it! Post your results too!

New manager at work.
Wants me (and my two colleagues) to start tracking the time we spend on different work.

We're (accessibility) consultants, so it kinda makes sense.

But also, we're accessibility (consultants) who have personal accessibility requirements and neurodiversity.

Anyone have suggestions on really low friction (and WCAG 2.2 compliant) ways to track time that actually work for you?

Small tip if you intend to put "isolated" (far from a PCB) LEDs on the front plate of an #electronic #project enclosure: plugging them into a #dupont female connector. The contact is excellent, it is removable, and much cleaner (imho) than soldering wires directly to the leads.

Kun tila on vähissä, pitää tavaroita vähentää. Samalla lattian siivous, kun se on tyhjänä näppärää.
