Just a lil reminder today 🩵

I just completed "Hoof It" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/10 #LabVIEW

Pi 500 is out today. I’ve used it. It’s good. A Pi 5 in a Pi 400 case, but less pink. If that’s what you need, you’ll like it. If you’re expecting M1 Mac Mini levels of performance, you won’t.

Christmas has started, we visited Kings Theatre, Portsmouth this afternoon to see this year's #PompeyPanto, Dick Whittington. As usual the whole cast put on an amazing performance that literally had the entire auditorium up and dancing by the end.

I just completed puzzle 7 in Tachyon Book tachyon-book.com #TachyonBook

The ZX Spectrum colour values of the keys actually add up correctly.

1 = blue
2 = red
4 = green

blue + red = 3 magenta
blue + green = 5 cyan
red + green = 6 yellow

red+blue+green = 7 white

It took me 40 years to notice this !

If you don’t see “A$” and immediately read it as “A string” then this might not be the account for you.

🎄 BOOSTER THREAD FOR MAKERS 🎄

Every year on X I did a thread to boost people making cool things that might make good Xmas pressies.

If you create things, reply with:

- description
- picture
- link to buy

And I will boost you.

Non-creators, boost this thread and buy the cool things!

MERRY XMAS

Looking at debugging a LabVIEW app with a colleague and found this podcast interesting. One of the techniques we used was to add logging of the data being passed through the test on the actual system so we could load it back and debug the logic later.
