I maintain a calendar of on-air events for slow-speed morse code. Hopefully, this will be useful to anyone actively learning CW. Let me know if I am missing any events. Thanks!

I went to look for @pluralistic 's "Little Brother" on audiobook this weekend on Audible. The only thing there was an audio blurb about why none of his works were there. I bought it.

I totally agree with him. I checked the local library for the audiobook and was able to check it out immediately.

I need to double-check that it's a good book to suggest to my old fart friends who think that we shouldn't be concerned with privacy if we have nothing to hide.

Of course, I hear about this thing when it's not available. I want one SO BAD!!!

Do people still call #CQ for a general rag chew anymore? Are most #QSO s part of operating events?

Is anyone out there running a #mastodon instance using #digitalOcean #spaces for their datastore? I am having a rough time connecting mastodon to spaces:

I'm rereading @pluralistic 's "Little Brother" for the third time since its release. And STILL... Every time I see "Clockwork Plunder," I think of a game called Toy Bizarre on #commodore64 that I wasted far too much of my life on. Even the music gives me PTSD.

I participated in the Straight Key Century Club sprint last night. It's a monthly informal contest for straight key morse code. It was super fun! I will do this again, but will do the following:

• Run QRP. They have a QRP class. I ran 10 watts, and was getting good reports everywhere
• Pay attention to the letter after the member number. Those are multipliers.

I feel like it would be worthwhile to write a little desktop app that lists current #POTA spots along with a little bilutton that tells #FLRig to QSY and set that mode.

Playing a #trivia game while also learning how to use the #AmateuRadio #NTS National Traffic System? Yes, I'll do it. Wonder if I can send it in via #MorseCode ?

It would be fun to create an #NTS #radiogram to mastodon link, with as much of the connection possible being over #RF

Sending text messages old school.

it would be so awesome if local recycling departments would make TikTok videos showing what is acceptable for each recycling stream.
It would also be awesome if they made videos of the recycling process for each stream.

Trying the Wendy's Orange Frosty. Loving it.

Checking to see if my new instance can hear this one..

It's wild to me that people can, with a straight face, discuss what constitutes cheating in a live coding interview without ever reaching the conclusion that live coding interviews are terrible and should not be done.

Functional programming requires a mindset that I seem unable to build in my brain

Is there a standard public forum that people to for help in setting up their #mastodon instances? I found the #github one, but I am not really finding any other forums.

Thanks!
