OH! and Nice #Lamy

This is the truest thing ever.. i don't EVER wanna store my grocery list where I think of fun things..

Can someone explain the disparity in price between shipping something and having something shipped?

If I pay a hundred bucks, I can get a year of shipping for free. If i place an order over twenty bucks or so, shipping is free.

If a take a small package to UPS, it costs $19 to ship it.

I finally got an #APRS station on the air. I have used my HT for years, but I finally have a base station.

I'd appreciate test messages or reports of seeing me online!

So the dog AND the cat have to get a cookie just because the dog came back inside?

oh! i thought it meant i was getting old. which i am. but i am okay with that.

Sooo.. is it bye-AH-pik or BYE-o-pik?

So, I got my hands on a PakRatt 232 MB modem. I need to fire it up and figure out how to get it on #DTN . This Digital Traffic Network is a complete mystery to me.

YouTube video by KEXP Luna - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

Watching the #KEXP session with the band #Luna. I get the distinct feeling that their houses are SUPER quiet.

I’m kinda scared to know what this means. Cuz I have been playing ham radio since I was like 12.

Antenna. Check

Can we follow hashtags in bsky like we do in #Mastodon ? Trying to figure out how to follow #PacketRadio .

I totally need to get back on packet. i just need to wait for the weather to break to put an antenna up.

i took around 20 years off on #CW also, so I had to get back up to speed. There are LOTS of activities for slow speed CW on the air now. Even though my speed is back up, I like to participate in the slow speed activities to help people starting out.

Should also note that the slow net runs at 13 WPM #MorseCode , so it's a nice comfortable pace.

I need to find a slam dunk use case for #MongoDB . I used it ALOT with #SmallTalk , but the fit was so good, I never had to think about it much. I would love to try using it in a bigger system.

I just saw them at discount drug mart yesterday. three for a buck!

For those of you who do the #AmateurRadio and #MorseCode thing, I will be NCS on the Ohio Slow Net tomorrow at 1800 EST on 3535.35. I will slow to whatever speed you need.

If you let me know that you will be checking in ahead of time, I will prepare a #radiogram for you to receive over the air.

oh snap! those are so fun!

I use AI to create #bash scripts, cuz there is NO WAY i can remember how to do that, and I don't want to spend all day googling stuff.

Recently, I am using @perplexityai.bsky.social for my AI #chatbot.

Does anyone remember the #melancholia channel on #yahoo radio?

I feel like the guys from #di.fm and #SomaFM provide a public service rather than just spinning records.

i moved away from #python maybe 20 years ago. Coming back again, and I am REALLY liking it again. I have been working with #Django , and am digging it hard again.

Alot of it might be #PyCharm 's AI features, though.

This week's NTS trivia question:

What was the name of Gumby's galloping sidekick?

Send your answer as a #Radiogram to:

I'll post results here!

I need to go to hamvention! I live like an hour and a half away.

I would love to set up an #NTS #RadioGram trivia game here. If I posed a question that you had to answer with a radiogram, would there be any interest in such a thing?

I should also mention that I also use microsoft #OneNote for work. I don't like it at al because:
- Grammarly only works on the web version
- The Web version doesn't allow you to run in Dark Mode on Chrome.
- It doesn't support #Markdown natively

There is more, but I a mout of characters.

I have been using #orgmode for maybe 20 years or so. Recenly switched to #AppleNotes for a bit, then to #AnyType for the quick, easy, and massive flexibility it affords.
I have not tried #Notion at all. Is there anyone who has used AnyType and switched to Notion?
Any insights?

On days like this, we should measure the temperature in Kelvin.
It's 250K today!
Makes going outside seem less terrifying

Chupacabras!!
