Last night at the hacker space I finally got around to building hardware out for my emfcamp badge powered satellite tracker . Most of the time was spent hot gluing together foam board to make a stand for the servos I integrated the control code with the TCP server and the whole thing is controllable from gpredict now.

When testing servos, knifes are the recommended indicator devices.

Today I've got nothing. At my desk there are a load of started and unfinished projects, parts for other things, kits from boldport club to be made. Nothing that is interesting even in its started state, components to make cools things, coolness sold separately.

At the hackerspace tonight I will try to finish my sat tracker , but even that is a fallback project. The projects I want to have completed have such a high bar to entry.

I wonder if my brain empties out in cycles.

My Idea to use the hugin stitching software to make a panorama from some images I found on my camera seems to have hit a snag. I am convinced I didn't have a tripod with me and took the panorama in a haphazard fashion, I remember the area by the glacier being much much colder than the campsite we were staying in and I was pushed to leave.

I opened up the 8 images I had to try and stitch together and while they sort of fall out in a reasonable orde I think it is going to take some time with the software to get them together. Unless I find the more magic button .

I tried to use hugin to stitch together a panorama I took of a glacier, but the binaries they offer will only run on the next version on MacOS. Really annoying. I will give it a try tomorrow on FreeBSD, if not I will have to try some of the gimp plugins.

Facing a gimp plugin makes me think of this xkcd .

It is Sunday, so that makes seven days of writing .
