Wow. My mood is SO GOOD
ALSO, here's a picture of the moon!
Fuck Pokemon feels so much better on a Gameboy than it does on the 3DS
Well, I've been working hard at Being Responsible lately.
I:
- chased up my psychiatrist about a letter to my university to help with my academic progression
- I have been cooking and cleaning
- I have worked out how my enrolment at uni can proceed
- I booked the appointments for myself for seeing my psychiatrist in the first place
- I have been sequestering a good chunk of my income for rainy days
- I have been taking my meds diligently and routinely
...so I splashed out and bought myself an original Gameboy and a couple cartridges. I can afford it, and I feel kind of sheepish for doing it, because my family might think poorly of doing this, but I wanted to reward myself.
Had a wholesome afternoon with my fellow hacker friend from uni! We built an XOR gate from discrete transistor logic, and an astable multivibrator blinken-light circuit from discrete transistors! The following attached video is of the blinken-lights!

everyone seems to be talking about monads today.
don't forget where it all began <3

Added another register bit this morning! I'm going to try and pump out a few of these today. Also, good news! The circuits work!
Today's handiwork at soldering for the discrete transistor computer
This is one register bit. You can see why historical computers were so big!!
I didn't end up taking final photos of the five total NANDs I constructed, but here's a sample of what I did this morning:
For those using screen readers, these images are of two NANDs soldered to a fibreglass project board.
The problem with this circuit is that the components were too closely, and, despite my efforts, the cheap project board tracks ended up shorting.
