---------------------------------------------------------------- One week in, still liking the terminal thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Some buddies hosted a little LAN party the other day. We've been playing a bit of Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator, Star Trek the video game, and they dropped their newest iteration called Cosmos the day before said LAN party. It's fun seeing how people react to changes. We played V1 (1.7) V2 (2.6) and then V3 (Cosmos). I started on 2.6 so 1.7 felt miserable to me, just dull, while others who started on it see it as the best version ever made. We all agree that 2.6 is ok since we normally play that one. We all were shocked by the changes present in Cosmos, learning a whole new UI and set of systems that go against what both V1 and V2 had. I'm excited to see how things develop over time. We all have some amount of gripes with Cosmos, maybe in a year from now it could be the main version that we run? Who knows. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I've decided to get a bit more back into birding, specifically with things like logging what I see in my area/taking pictures of the stuff I can/having feeders set up. I found it quite peaceful in the past, a real calm hobby where I would just watch little animals peck about. I've been looking to get that peace back in my life. Why not reintroduce the peaceful hobby? It's not that I ever fully dropped birding, it's just that I made it a much lower priority even though it was bringing me so much joy. It should be fun to have it back. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The opposite of peaceful, I've been struggling in KiCad yet again due to my lack of experience and understanding when it comes to routing circuit boards. I need to see if there's some sort of tutorial on this stuff that exists because I really just don't get it, I can never make a nicely laid-out set of chips. I just make jumbled spaghetti. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I added another section called "Systems" which talks about the things of the system variety which I own. I haven't put much up because I have to redo everything but I'll try to do one or two a week. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Blog section ----------------------------------------------------------------
