I’m at a knitting conference, and Scott and I decided to use this as a forcing deadline to publish an alpha version of the printable modular flat-bed knitting machine that he has been working on. I made a lil zine about it too.

A lone daffodil against a stormy sky for today's photo taken in Glastonbury. As we welcome Meteorological Spring today I don't think Winter is quite ready to leave us being as it is now raining and very grey. šŸ˜‚
I stopped because I liked the colors, but I especially liked the difference between the upkeep of the car vs. the neglect of the building. Somewhere back in my timeline is a photo of the same building from only a couple of years ago and it looked much nicer at the time.

I have been completely bewitched by the Tseng Labs ET2000.

I noticed that my GB-1 card has a strange 19.6608Mhz crystal. That's not a strange number itself - it is an extremely common clock for baud rate generation.

It is exactly 65536 * 30, so a lot of useful clocks can be divided from it.

Most of the time you see a crystal on a video card it is used as a dot clock. This crystal is not a dot clock.*

**EDIT: turns out it actually can be selected as a dot clock too.

It is not a clock for the Z80 either, which is clocked at ~4MHz off the 16Mhz crystal. So what is it for?
