Unbelievably I've now got the tool sensor probe working .... Sort of.

There's an offset somewhere screwing its value off somewhere. But it's nearly working!

Struggling to get the tool setter working in Linux CNC. Even turned to chatgpt...... Which has proven to be utterly unhelpful, spouting nonsense, nonexisting pins and control commands.

Sighs.

1. Amazing movie.
2. Starring David's Bowie's Spandex trousers...

I've yet to have a proper look. But have they added array duplication tools yet?
It was one thing that bugged me in earlier affinity. Things like grid and circular array...

Might need to just make a foot print.
It's not difficult.
But I might just have one for those.

Yeah I just noticed they added gen AI, which im not a fan of. But they making the tools free is... well. Shocking.

Also what? Affinity is now free?
I saw the press release a couple months ago and like many feared the worse. That they were going the subscription model route.... But no........ FREE!?

TchΓ©ky Karyo, star of Nikita and The Missing, dies at 72 The French actor was known for supporting roles in films that spanned nearly 40 years.

Crap just saw the news he's passed away...

He's always been one of those character actors who just showed up in all sorts of movies for me...

Including the wing commander movie. That had so many well known character actors in it's supporting cast.

I just saw and reported another Youtube channel click baiting "And this is what the actor looks like now" it had an utterly revolting photoshop image of Marina Sirtis looking like she had some horrible condition.

Dont engage these bottom feeding cretins, just report it. YT might not take action

I had an interview mysteriously cancelled on the same day the latest *concerned citizen* emailed my employers about my other job.

Anyone over the legal age can make up their own mind, as I've always maintained!

Might be unrelated, it happens. Just remember #SexWorkIsRealWork #Love

Meme I stole from Tumblr:

A closeup image of a Sony point and shoot camera with lots of buttons and knobs and whatnot.

Text says "The tactile interface fandom is dying. Repost if you're a true knobhead."

Not sure I'd like haggis. Never had it. But in all honesty I'll only have a runny yoke on a freshly boiled egg... Runny yokes on eggs that were boiled a while ago make me fear food poisoning....
