the University of London leaked my email address to 3rd party spam senders. I know because I made a new one and they were the first I shared it with

@kaia I had the Open University do the same to me. How do I know it was them, same reason as you.

The e-mail address I gave them was, basically, the.ou@example.org.

@geekmomprojects I may have missed the pupdate, but does Riley now have a RGB collar who's colours match those in their chart?

OK, really not my style, but I tried it out. Impressed what you can get as a case for an apple watch. Trying to convince my wife to get one now (hence testing the bling).

P.S. OK, why am I? Mainly the watch she has does poor sleep tracking and she is not happy with it. She could do with better heart rate tracking stuff (as could I, which was one reason to get one), and it is less tech support if it "just works".

Statistically speaking, someone here on Mastodon probably needs to be reminded to move their laundry to the dryer. So be kind and share this toot around. Every bit helps.

@TeacherGriff Equally, there's probably somebody who's got a cup of tea about to go too cold to be enjoyable.

Going back through some old projects and I am once again reminded that LED strip builds age like fine milk.

avatastic,
@avatastic@avatastic.uk avatar

@geekmomprojects how have LED strip builds changed over the years? Are there now more LEDs per inch than in the early days, and have the revamped versions of the projects reflected that, or are the projects very much of their time?

YouTube has some impressive tools for statistical insight.

Here is a breakdown of my YouTube viewers by country. With my videos being in English, it is no surprise a lot of you are from the US and the UK.

However, I need to figure out how I can get more Swedes and Norwegians to watch my channel, as there are 10 times more more Danes than Swedes.

Also, I wonder how much my English is a barrier to Germans, as there are 10 times more US than German viewers.

If you have any input, I am all ears.

avatastic,
@avatastic@avatastic.uk avatar

@randahl Can you supply subtitles for each of the low visitor number languages you want to improve, or does YouTube only allow mono-lingual subtitles?

No idea if it actually helps, but you never specified useful input ... ;-)

avatastic,
@avatastic@avatastic.uk avatar

@randahl Paying a translator is the way to do it, if it's not something you can do yourself, or don't have the time to do yourself.

AI transcription is poor to mediocre at best, adding translation on top of that is going to end up an unreadable mess.

Today's procrastimake was inspired by the frigid weather (elsewhere in the US, as I'm in SoCal) and the heads up (pun intended) from @Jorvon_Moss that tomorrow is National Hat Day. Seems like a good time to start sewing an LED string into a band to attach to a fleece cap.

@geekmomprojects @Jorvon_Moss One fun mod could be using addressable RGB and changing the colour of the LEDs depending on the temperature?

No, Kryten, it is not "aye ess see two". The II in ASCII is II, not 2. Indeed, it is before the insane days when people turned two letters in a row such as II in to I².

I love the idea (OK not really, it is cruel) that people that do not have an internal monologue are in fact NPCs... 🙂

I have an internal monologue, but also have other mental processes - seeing (computer) code in my head in, sort of, multiple layers, and debugging code in my sleep. My monologue comes in writing and reading, and planning what I will say/type, but I also am able to come up with ideas out of thin air without "wording" them through in my head.

You? (ya, why not boost, etc)

@Peternimmo @fkamiah17 @selzero I should have checked street view myself 😅​

But that's just even more shady that they're just listing the entire office space as their address, rather than the fact it's a pokey office shared with around 30 other entities.
