I am busy rebuilding my music studio with only gear from the late 90s/2000. It's much more fun to relive my youth and with patience less expensive than I thought.
ADAT?

#82Built a hardware device that sits between any computer and any printer and reads what is getting printed. Primary use-case is to read receipt data from legacy POS systems without having to write software integrations. Figuring out how to commercialise. Reach out if you have ideas!
fond memories. we did tv guides for a local cable system for a bit in the early 90s. they had a customer db, but no "export" beyond sending print jobs to their bigarse line printer.
but it was a parallel port and i had use of a luggable with a bidirectional parallel port so i'd haul that in once a month, hook it up, and have them run a "hello customer" fake billing run, which was hoovered up and stripped down to the address list we needed to mail to that month.

#83Started my masters at Georgia Tech [1] this summer. Still in the first semester, but really enjoying so far. Just not much spare time on nights and weekends, but it helped me cut down the time spent on social/news/etc. [1] https://omscs.gatech.edu/
Good luck! How is it going? How long did it take for them to accept you? Asking because a friend applied in July and still not heard back from them.
Thanks! Loving it so far. It has been a long time since I graduated, so using the first semester to get used to a regular study schedule again.
The program is massive (like, 1500+ students in my ML4T [1] class alone; the largest in GT's history), but academically rigorous, with a supportive community, active discussion forums, cool projects, and a small army of TAs. And very affordable, compared to all other programs out there.
It takes a long time for them to process applications, but they seem to honor their deadlines. I got my invitation a few days before the "you should hear from us until this date", and know other folks were on the same boat.
Hope your friend gets their invitation soon.

#88Still researching trust. It's the deepest philosophical rabbit hole I've ever fallen down, but am now coming up for air.
Diverse opinions and even conflict in small groups can be productive provided there is trust. I’d love to understand trust better. Got anything to share or places to start?
I’ve been on a deep dive on the philosophy of harmony for a long time. Just submitted my second major article on “harmony of opposites” that deals with the role of conflict/tension in harmony.

#89Working on my first foray into DML-based speakers. Low expectations, but more enjoying the fun of learning a new domain (and it’s a distraction from building garden furniture). Got various exciters, panel types, mount ideas ready, just taking the time out of the evenings.
Let us know how they sound.
I'm happy with boring old full-range.
