When it rains it pours. Looks like I am gonna have to upgrade my Trident to the latest r2 and also do the BondTech Indx. Hopefully I can find the time to do both.

This solar drip irrigation system seems to be working really well. I am impressed and may have to get another set for a few more plants. Not a bad investment for $50.

Yay! Got an update from BondTech. Indx starts shipping June 25th! That will be my next 3dp project.

Collection is growing! I had to give Zelda and Double Dragon a real good cleaning before they successfully loaded.

An outdoor tech project- I set up a solar irrigation pump. About 20ish plants. It runs for about 20 minutes and pumps around 2-3 gallons. Working great so far but I think I’ll need a bigger bucket.

Woohoo! My refurb NES is working after doing a connector swap. I am turning 50 this year and wanted to reminisce with games I used to play 40 years ago…

I have been trying to get into some retro gaming with an NES. The one I bought works great with the game it came with, but it hasn’t worked with any other cartridges I have tried (7). It also has a very firm grip on cartridges with thicker pcb’s.

From what I have gathered, the replacement 72 pin connectors are hot garbage and it’s best to use cleaned up OEM connector. So I’ll be swapping that out soon. Here is what the current 3rd party connector looks like.

I just want to play some of the classics- Zelda, Super Mario 1-3, Tetris, etc. It will be 40 years since I got my first Nintendo this coming June..

Ouch, the new GitHub CoPilot plan (usage based, AI credits) is probably going to last maybe a week? I don't see this going well for Microsoft. I also just saw the MiniMax 3 model announced which looks really good (through OpenRouter, Ollama, and others) that don't trian.

We went and saw Mandalorian and Grogu last night. It was well worth the price of admission! It was very campy and light-hearted for a Star Wars film. Much better than the last 3 films by far.

Using Roo Code (VS Code Extension, works with Ollama) to run Qwen 3 Coder 30B from my PC that has a 4080 16gb card. Getting good results, but inference is really slow compared to using a cloud model. Like.. a few minutes to generate a file, vs 10-20 seconds. :)

For under $200 this Char-Broil 28 inch griddle is really good. I’ve been cooking on it for a few months now… it’s really underrated especially compared to a Blackstone!

I've been pretty happy with the overall quality of Codex, but I do think Claude models (Opus, Sonnet) works a bit better overall, especially for "one shot" prompting. On the plus side, I still have plenty of capacity left with Codex, even using the "High" model.

On the $20 plan, I have nearly run out of my 5 hour limit after a few hours of prompting, but the weekly limit is fine.
