It's finally here. The 3rd volume of The Book of Dust by Philip Pullman @philippullmanreal.bsky.social

I'm looking forward to reading more about the adventures of Lyra and Pan (Pantalaimon).

It was great to meet Matt after the show, and he signed a copy of his book writing my name in binary!

No hesitation he just writes in zeros and ones.

I really enjoyed @standupmaths.bsky.social Matt Parker "Getting Triggy With It" #Birmingham yesterday.
Very funny show, currently touring the UK.

I've taken a break from the fun projects to tidy up my workshop.
So that meant using FreeCAD to design and 3D print brackets to tidy up my wires.

Along with the usual great service also received bonus stickers. Here's a small selection.
Thanks!

Found with testing now improved my library which works much better.

Anyone like to guess what it is?
