Out for a walk in the woods.

There was quite a heated debate online tonight about why the Eurovision Song Contest didn't look quite right. And the answer is complex, it's not actually technical reason, it's down to how our brains interpret the world! So I wrote a post about it:

@simon I never noticed anything amiss at all

Oh man, Eurovision is a mess right now. What are they doing over there??? Are their bits flipped by the solar flares??

Current position in our household. I'm planning on watching all of it except for one act. Eldest is boycotting it entirely. Youngest is watching it all

5x5 (Sparkle Matrix from Redfern Electronics) clock driven by running @microblocks

What time is it showing?

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@tripplehelix @microblocks Actually not.

The philosophy is that the hours hand points to next hour if minute hand is past 30 mins.

So this is indicating quarter to ten

How do I get back the standard layers option in the top box

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu There is no tab to drag :) - its disappeared :(

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu OK -did that thanks. But now got two c0pies of the lower tab. I'm after the default which is (AFAIR from 30 minutes ago!) a list of text options like delete layer - anchor down etc etc

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

I decided to launch a VM and install so I could show everyone what I was talking about but the default doesn't look like what I had at all :(

I think I've lost the plot here! :)

I SWEAR I used to have useful Layer options written in text like Duplicate Layer, Anchor Layer etc in the top pane

cymplecy,
@cymplecy@fosstodon.org avatar

@Extelec Yes - the text in the top section but I used to have it visible all the time in top right-hand pane

For my next clock project, I'm thinking of resurrecting my old clock that was inspired by @Workshopshed one https://www.workshopshed.com/2014/09/a-working-topsy-turvy-clock/

But this time programming it using @microblocks

Two nice times on my @GurgleApps

Time is 9:38 Clock reads TWENTY TWO TO TEN minutes are in green, TO is blue and TEN is red

Today I used @microblocks running on an ESP32-WROVER (that has a camera) to take picture - send it my broker and then use @SnapCloud to retrieve it and decode the 565 (16bit/pixel) image
