I did 'nothing' today. Just watched some tv drama online. So tired.

Why am I so tired even I did nothing? Because Typhoon Mangkhut (Category 5, folks....serious business!) hit South China coast on Sunday. I spent that whole day doing hand-to-hand combat with water seepage problem. When you get older, you really need more than just 1 day to recover.
TEST YOUR MIGHT- FIGHT

I'm...

I'm not alone!!!

*cue angelic voices*

...I also get excited whenever companies (especially Google) announces UI redesigns (did you see the new and awesome Google Drive?)

Today was OK at school. Meh. I prepared a collection of self-portraits in FreeCad that I'll share tomorrow. Hint: They're atrocious.

Apparently I need to get to work early tomorrow since some kid decided to mess up a desktop and I need to fix it. Oh well. Thank God where I work doesn't use Macs... I would have to call Louis Rossmann and ask him to lecture the school...

Also, I'm a "master of cramming" now! I just noticed!

Bought a sacrificial linear grey keyboard to rip the PCB out of and put into my fat aluminum case.

I have people IRL that make fun of me because of my "1980's" white Realforce 87u.

LMAO, then show them my input devices, that are genuine 80's mechnicals (both from 1984) and trackball (1989) XD

I don't want to turn this into a keyboard thread, but since I have a nice keyboard I'll contribute. It's the Leopold FC660C it has topre switches and a pretty cool layout. Other than that I came home from work and now I'm having a cup of coffee while browsing the web, a very normal day.

... is a 7-minute video about a PC case long...? ,_,
I'm at the sleep-over-this-and-wake-up-to-changes-before-committing stage of the edit now. I feel like the video's pretty poorly planned ,_, which is the result of a 4-month on-and-off edit of a 2-day build shoot

gonna spend more time in low-editing-effort videos soon. kinda wanna shadow the cycles of maker youtubers eventually like Simone Giertz and Laura Kampf and Giaco and Wintergatan.

Not today, but over the weekend, I finished up my new Alpine Halo9 custom install. The stereo is designed to 'float' in front of your dash, but I thought flush mount looked better. Some bezel cutting, reworking, and 3D printing and I was left with the following. I also went to a Jeep show over the weekend and got 1st place in the Grand Cherokee category. 4th time going, and 4 trophies. :)
