What's going on?
New Sherline parts arrived from the USA, so I'll be
constructing a dedicated mill base. I also got a second
spindle so I have one dedicated for thread-cutting (i.e.
running with a crank and not a motor)
I'm back at work. It's better than I thought. I was low-key
not looking forward to it, but actually shedding some of my
old responsibilities and concentrating on the new ones feels
good so far.
Zeus (10/m/Foxhound) is asleep on the floor in the next room
snooring loudly. Love it. Perfect Saturday morning, IMO.
(We're in from a walk in the -16C weather).
I just found out one of my favourite terminal fonts (Input)
has some custom variations that _dramatically_ help with my
dyslexia, including a "handwriting-style" lower-case "a"
which is more like a circle with a tail. Tried it as a lark
and I am surprised how much more legible it makes large
pieces of text.
I also found out that a Pixel 2 phone charger is capable of
charging my M1 Macbook and my Thinkpad T480. Wild: it's so
small, I didn't think this was work and only found out by
plugging in the wrong USB-C cord on my workbench.
