Way back machine screenshot of the competition page from vibribbon.com where you could win a vib ribbon Hawaiian shirt

Loved the website when I was younger, took years to track down this shirt

Thought you might be interested to hear there's some activity around circuit python on the discord for the board atm after someone found a ton of them. discord.gg/RYuW9pzt

It's been pretty effective at tricking a lot of those people into learning css tbf

RE music controllers, if it was 16x16 instead of 12x12 I absolutely would be trying to make it into a Yamaha Tenori-On right now

Both should work! I used the most generic ESP32 options in Arduino IDE to compile

There's a discord with some discussion about the board here discord.gg/bA6Y72qb (I encourage publicly posting any discoveries too though)

Initial rudimentary library with examples at github.com/padraigfl/tw...

Second demo of Tech Will Save Us's Arcade Coder e-waste running a custom library. showcasing individual inputs

This weekend I wrote a library for the Arcade Coder, an ESP32 powered device people paid $90 for that depends on an app+server that were killed shortly after release when TWSU closed.

Lipo powered, 144 (somewhat) reliable inputs, RGB LED for each, ~5 free pins, Bluetooth/WiFi/ESP-Now compatibility

If you've a freemcboot ps2 it's very easy to drop games onto an actual PocketStation and they cost like $20 now.
It's also pretty easy with memcarduino and an old multitap if you're technically inclined

The actual homebrew scene for it in Japan at the time seemed really cool from what I could unearth on the internet archive. Feel like if it had gone international with the arm processor being relatively easy to code for it could have had a huge scene

Working on a desktop first website that collects central London independent cinema listings (atm BFI, ICA, Prince Charles and Garden). Loads to still do but here's the initial proof of concept bfi-southbank.netlify.app

They migrated to somewhere called MustardLand, don't ask me how I know this

Simpsons season 6's homer head shaped dvd boxset awkwardly shoved in alongside the standardized boxes for seasons 1-9

this immediately came to mind

with the exception of leap day

Not yet but I'm working on it

Got my niece a 2017 Teddy Ruxpin for Christmas. Modded him to sing Declan Nerney songs and some of her faves (Frere Jacques, Baby Shark).

Youtube Video Synchronizer A tool to synchronise youtube videos to a given real world time. Focuses on synchronising with new year's but can use any time.

Chucking this out, synchronizes old New Year's Eve broadcasts to a given time. Contains a ton of Dick Clark, some BBC, a little Simply Red and some voyeuristic camcorder videos of y2k

Four Sansa Clip Zip and five Sansa Clip Plus mp3 players, several visibly running Rockbox in photo

I've probably got enough backup SanDisk Sansa Clip mp3 players with Rockbox installed at this point

It's playable on Android still if you get the APK from another source. Harmonix's servers are still up for it, bit more awkward to get running after they go down (but still doable)

Recent issues I had:

20 y/o dvd editing software: found tons of help for issues on a dead forum from 2003

PS3 cfw: had a bug, found help from a poorly maintained 2013 wiki

Trying to preserve a 2018 Harmonix game: unofficial discord was deleted, official channels banned mod talk; there was NOTHING

Oh cool, I've got a couple of them lying around! Didn't think they'd work that well for some reason

What kind of led setup is inside it? In a linear spiral up the middle or a matrix?

What are ya doin' in ma swaaaamp?! Remember DVD menus? They're back! In badly implemented JavaScript form (and don't work at all on iOS)

I've tidied up my abandoned pandemic mental breakdown project website replicas of the DVD menus for the Matrix and Shrek a bit; not thoroughly tested but should be a bit less buggy dvd-rom.netlify.app

Fuck knows what the person who bought this synth off me is gonna think of the packaging I’m sending it in. DJ Hero, Dropmix and Ring Fit Adventure boxes along with like 8 different kinds of bubble wrap

A frying pan placed on the opening of a public bin, perfectly covering the hole

Why do I find this so aesthetically pleasing? Feel like it should be in a gallery
