My maze generator and 3D viewer is slowly coming together, though that window in the wall (view full sized to see it) is not supposed to be there!

Interesting question from my 9yr old son.
"What makes you a farmer? If I grew potatoes in the garden, would i be a farmer? "
It's a fair question. Where is the threshold? veg patch, allotment or field of minimum size?
Note: photo is not my garden lol

You should automate the sunlight once you have automated the lights in your home. I have tried #SwitchBotRollerShade from #SwitchBot to automate my blinds, and the results are here:

Last week, I attended the #EmbeddedWorld expo in Nuremberg, Germany. We shot over 20 interviews in two days and I discovered what embedded tech you should expect in 2025! Don't miss my coverage, and head to #electromaker to check it out!

We have had something of a hiatus with our #RepairCafe events run by #PlasticFreeHitchin and hosted at the #Hackspace. This was because of insurance issues... All sorted now. As there was a bit of a repair backlog our first event was invite only and held last Saturday with no pre publicity.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!
New ride coming soon.

Great #CamJam today. Loads of great conversations with visitors (grown ups and kids), and with old friends (grown up big kids). On my feet all day so my knees hurt now. I was too busy to take any pictures.

Delighted to report that £132 was raised for charity from Mike's Box of Bargains at #CamJam. This will be split equally between Accolade Hounds dog charity and Addenbrookes PICU. Thanks everyone! :-)
