I wanted to photograph plants for over on the new channel, but my little intervalometer just wasn’t giving me what I needed. It’s a great intervalometer that has never failed me, but this project just requires something that it can’t give me. Computer-controlled lighting!

The Oregon Trail Micro
Trying out the tiny little Oregon Trail micro arcade game handheld console thing from Super Impulse. Neat idea! Lots of concessions made to the form factor… “Is died of a dysentery.”

Jacek Fedorynski Creates a Mouse Hat and Human Trackball
Jacek Fedorynski has recently created an air mouse, a device that attaches to a hat and functions like an actual mouse. Hat mouse, you ask? Instead of controlling it with hand movements, it requires you to use your head. Based on Adafruit’s Feather nRF52840 Sense, this air mouse works by reading accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer data, and connects via Bluetooth to run on Windows, Mac and Linux.
Leadscrew Buddy upgrade for 70 year old lathe
My lathe is quite old. It is a Myford M type. This design was originally manufactured by British company Drummond until Myford took over manufacture in 1941.The manufacturer’s plate of my lathe has 1949 stamped on it.
It’s a pretty basic lathe, but it fits into the very limited space I have in my garage workshop. Recently I needed to use power feed on the lead screw, which is when I realised it could do with a modern upgrade.
As with most low tech lathes, the lead screw is driven from the spindle via a set of gears, and by changing these the feed speed can be set. On my lathe the gears are proper 1940s metal things, and the gear assembly involves interlocking them with pins and adjusting two mounts that can be swivelled to allow for the differing diameters.
Windows’ Hidden Self Destruct Code | Nostalgia Nerd
There was once a piece of code, buried deep within Windows, designed to detect competitor operating systems, and upon finding them, CRASH… or at least, make the user feel like something was seriously wrong. This was Microsoft’s attempt to truly kill Digital Research’s DR-DOS, and although it worked, it wasn’t long until the true nature of Microsoft’s practices was uncovered.
