A straight single track railway. Photo taken from between the rails, showing the vanishing point in the distance. Overgrown trees, bushes and grass flank the track.

Proper vanishing point! (Don't worry, I checked carefully for trains.)

I've got a quick favour to ask. If you're reading this post on Mastodon (or the Fediverse), please click share.

How come?

I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out.

A good ol' circular slide rule. A lot of space on one side so you could put your company logo on it and give it out as swag.

Here's the slide rule I've had since I was a kid (not because I'm that old, but because who doesn't have a slide rule phase). Pulled it out because @mqbs has a webapp that makes slide rules fun again, with slide-rule friendly exercises: https://mshron.github.io/slide-rule-practice/
